You should check out the owners forum on the Chaparral Boats website. It is pretty active with owners and they could give you a better opinion on the price. Chaparral makes a top of the line boat though, but I am biased.

x2 on the factory owners site. What are the engine specs on the Chap you are looking at? Chaps are top tier boats and the company isn't having the financial issues many others are. Is it a dealer of private party? Was it used in salt or fresh water?
