Powered by two BRAND NEW twin Volvo Penta 5.7L (Chevy 350) engines with professionally reprogrammed ECU/ECMs to complete the power upgrade from the standard 5.0L.
These are almost complete crate-engine replacements, nearly everything was replaced during the overhaul: New long blocks, fuel pumps, exhaust risers and elbows, water pumps, alternators, starters, impellers, sensors, balancers, etc. The motors are timed and running perfectly.
The trim motors are brand new, starboard gimbal bearing is new, port side is in like-new condition.
The oil in the outdrives in brand new, no signs of damage or wear was detected in the outdrive oil.
The boat was upgraded with Orca Marine Cooling Systems with heat exchangers to convert the exhaust systems to run on antifreeze rather than lakewater, significantly increasing engine life. These were just overhauled and are in excellent condition.
The vinyl was just refinished but will need to be reupholstered within a few years.
Some of the cushions inside need to be recovered. Cosmetically speaking, other than the cushions, the boat is in good condition. It needs a new decal on the starboard side due to rubbing against the dock.
The boat was almost completely overhauled back to new, but one more task remains to complete. The system draws water perfectly on the fake-a-lake, but when drawing actual lake water only the port side draws as it should, the starboard side is not drawing enough suction. This is a simple fix via the water hose or an O-ring, the impeller is brand new and perfect. This is an opportunity to own a nice boat with a brand new life at under book value by taking care of a simple fix in the outdrive water suction hose.
The boat is being sold as part of a settlement, and cannot be further modified by us.
Comes with a tri-axle trailer. The wheel bearings need to be re-packed.
The engines are still winterized.

The Chaparral Signature 290 is an ideal boat for fishing, diving, and cruising expeditions. The 290 is designed with the family in mind. The wrap-around passenger's seat is positioned right next to the cabin door, so meal service is only an arm's length away. Additionally, passengers dine under the comforts of a Bimini top, and enjoy a complete 360-degree view of the surroundings. Little things like a hanging locker, an exhaust fan in the bathroom - which also includes an extra capacity head - lined privacy drapes, a remote-controlled JVC sound system, and Gibraltar countertops help make life on board the 290 Signature a dream come true. The 290 has a very well-designed cabin layout. An insert cushion converts the U-shaped main salon seating area to an extra berth. A privacy door leads to an adult-sized aft cabin that includes shelf-storage, indirect lighting, and an opening port for increased ventilation.
