Service, Parts, And Repair For Your Boat
For service, parts, or repair, take your boat to an
authorized Chaparral dealer. To find dealers in your
area, call: 1-229-686-7481 (Domestic) or visit

If a problem is not handled to your satisfaction:

with the service manager of the dealership or
your salesperson. Give the dealer an opportuni-
ty to help the service department resolve the
matter for you.

your satisfaction by your dealer, contact

CONSTRUCTION AND STANDARDS
All Chaparral boats meet or exceed the construction
standards set by the U.S. Coast Guard, the National
Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), and the
American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) concerning:
• Navigation lights
• Factory-installed fuel systems
• Engine and fuel tank compartment ventilation
• Flotation
• Steering systems
• Backfire flame arresters
NMMA certification means that the boat complies
with applicable Federal regulations set forth by the
U.S. Coast Guard. These regulations are based on
American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) stan-
dards and recommended practices.
All Chaparral models can be certified to carry the CE
mark. The CE mark certifies that the boat meets rel-
evant parts of the European Directive for
Recreational Craft 94/25/EC of the European
Parliament, including the International Organization
for Standards (ISO) and Recreational Marine
Agreement Group (RMAG) guidelines in effect at
the time of manufacture.
We recommend that you see your dealer if you wish
to modify factory-installed equipment or add new
equipment. Your dealer is qualified to make such
modifications or additions without placing the safety
or design integrity of your boat at risk and without
invalidating the warranty.
Chaparral builds exceptionally high-quality boats.
We offer numerous extras you won’t see at a boat
show. We’ve created a list for your review.
Gelcoat
The advanced technology polyester we use offers
superior weathering resistance to surface yellowing
and chalking. It will also help protect and maintain
the original glossy luster of your boat’s finish.
Chaparral uses a premium quality gelcoat which
offers improved flexibility over other gelcoats, mini-
mizing the potential for cracking.
Resin
It’s an age-old problem. Water penetrates the gelcoat
and eats at the outermost layer of fiberglass causing
blisters on the bottom. Your yacht has a premium
quality blister barrier between the gelcoat and first
layer of fiberglass. It’s an extra layer of security you
won’t find in most boats.
