Chaparral goes for the Hat Trick in Sydney

244 XTREME HERO-4 Chaparral Australia
With two big boat shows now completed and the biggest of them all just around the corner, Chaparral Australia are working on scoring a triple whammy of stellar sales at the Sydney boat show.

Following on from a brilliant Sanctuary Cove show and their biggest ever Melbourne Boat Show result; Chaparral will have a full line up on display at SIBS in Hall 1 this year. From the new entry level H2o range to big cruisers and everything in-between, Chaparral once again will have its best on display.

Scott O’Hare from Chaparral Australia was ecstatic with show sales so far saying that 'the outstanding buyer response to the new entry level H2o range was unprecedented'.

'We have had to triple our orders after having basically sold our entire year’s stock inventory,' he said.

The versatile ski/fish model answers the age old family dilemma of whether to buy a ski boat or a fishing boat, available in 18 and 19 feet models; the Ski/Fish comes complete with removable seats and cushions that easily convert the family bow rider into a brilliant fishing platform.

The standard live bait tank, rod storage and remote electric saltwater trolling motor make this a truly versatile boat that should keep everyone in the family happy.



'Chaparral has not compromised on content with the new entry level H2o range,' said O’Hare. 'More standard extras, higher freeboard, great looks and legendary salt water tough quality are all part of the Chaparral package' Starting from $39,999, H2o is also available in a 'sports' model for those who already know the answer to the ski or fish question.'

All H2o models come standard on an Aussie built galvanized trailer from Mackay and are nationally priced as turnkey with regos, safety gear and tuition included.

'Our premium bow riders, Xtreme tow boats and cruiser range should not be forgotten either; with buyers taking advantage of our great deals so far we can’t wait for the Sydney show to start and to share our brilliant boats with NSW and interstate buyers,' added O’Hare.

Chaparral have been building boats for 47 years and enjoy a solid reputation worldwide for quality innovation and performance, with sports boats ranging from 18 to 42 feet.

For more information on the Chaparral range go to www.chaparralaustralia.com.au or contact Chaparral Australia on (03) 9397-6977.

The Sydney boat show is at Darling Harbour from 2-6th August . Chaparral can be found in Hall 1 on stand 189.
