Construction

Chaparral 260 Signature, built in 2000 by Chaparral Boats (US) # US-FGBC0696D000
GRP hull, deck, and superstructure -
Planing Deep-V hull - Extended V-Plane
The Chaparral Signature 260 is a classy family weekender of quality construction and good overall performance. She rides on a balsa-cored modified Deep-V hull, and Chaparral claims that her “Extended V-Plane” bottom design translates into quicker planing and a softer ride. The Signature 260 is indeed a good-handling boat and visibility from the raised helm is excellent.
