Chaparral 310 Signature Photo Review
Chaparral’s 310 Signature offers strong competition to the Sea Ray 320 and Four Winns 318. We especially like the under seat cooler storage in the aft cockpit and the ability to fold the aft bench seat flush with the transom. To increase creature comforts, the galley fridge is especially large and there is a further option to add a cockpit fridge under the refreshment center.
Basic Specifications: 33′4″ Overall Length, 10′7″ Beam, 33″ Draft (twin drives down), 18 degree deadrise 11,395 Dry Weight, 147 gal Fuel, 29 gal Water, 28 gal Waste
Engine options start with basic 4.3L engines and single prop outdrives up through the Merc or Volvo 5.7’s and with Bravo III or Duo-Prop
Keeping with the same advice we gave on the Four Winns 318 Vista, we highly recommend getting at least the 5.0L engine package and twin prop outdrives and you may be best served with the 5.7L engines. We welcome any owner reports in our comments on cruise and top speeds with the various engine and outdrive packages.
