Chaparral a Quality Boat?
Looking at possibly purchasing a 30 ish cruiser, and one my wife and I seem to like is the Signature 290. I had always heard good things about Chaparral quality, but it has been a few years since I have been around the docks.
Recently I've heard that their quality isn't what it once was, and that they have suffered more quality and design issues. I even talked to someone recently that said every Chaparral cruiser in his marina lists hard to one side, most of them to Port, and that the owners have been unable to correct. Any experiences would be appreciated. We are currently considering a 2004 290...
