Row Your Boat: Chaparral 420 Premiere Review

Chaparral Boats are known for its innovative design, but what makes its flagship—the 420 Premiere—a unique motorboat for sale in the Philippines? Join us in another boat review and find out what the 420 Premiere can offer to future boat owners.

Aboard the 420 Premiere

One noticeable feature of the 420 Premiere is the “pickle fork” styling to the bow. Standard power is a twin 370hp Volvo Penta IPS500 diesel with joystick docking. The two staterooms are also worth mentioning, both having their own head and shower. The master stateroom also houses an electrically-operated island bed which flips down if you need extra space. The aft stateroom, on the other hand, offers a convertible L-shaped seating that converts into a queen-size bed.




The 42ft model also comes with loads of standard inclusions for dining and entertainment such as solid surface countertops, electric grill, stainless steel refrigerator, flat screen TV, and air conditioning/heater powered by a soundproof 10.0 kW Kohler diesel generator among others.


Pros


Thanks to the pickle fork, owners of Chaparral 420 Premiere can enjoy a spacious master stateroom as this feature significantly increased the model’s beam forward. The 370hp engine is also a nice match for this motorboat for sale, giving it quiet, comfortable, and economical cruising capabilities over waters in the Philippines, which makes the model more like a sports yacht than a sports boat. Chaparral 420 Premiere’s standard inclusions may also seem like trivial stuff, but these small details are also the very things that make the big difference about this model.


Cons


Aside from loads of amenities for dining and entertainment, the Chaparral 420 Premiere is also loaded with various features on its helm dash. From 12in Garmin touchscreen with GPS-plotter, Volvo Penta engine gauges to trim tab controls & indicators, the helm dash got tons of stuff to impress you. However, this leaves less room if you want to install a second screen, which could not really be a deal breaker.


The Verdict


Comfort for the family while keeping the chic look of the Chaparral line, the 420 Premiere is an economical choice if you want to own a motorboat for sale in the Philippines. With its spacious design, it would make a great boat for families looking to hop from one island to another in their leisure times.

2 Filipinos Who are Raising the Bar of the Local Shipping Industry

Source:https://www.evolutionpartners.com.au/fastcat-ferries-brand-promise.html Just last year, we had a trip to Mindoro for our 1st year anniversary. It was a very exhilarating experience for us because we had to commute instead of publicly driving southbound. From Bulacan, we had a 1 hour bus trip to Cubao then dropped off are Jam Liner terminal. From Jam, we again took a bus to Batangas Pier—a 4 hour trip including traffic. After getting to Batangas Pier was the challenging part: after battling a wave of fixers in the Pier who want to make a quick buck from us, what we were not expecting is the boat ride going to Puerto Galera. It was a big bangka, long enough that it can accommodate a about 50 passengers. It was stable though a little shaky, but the problem with this is we, me and my companion, both have sea sickness. The hot weather only triggered it more and the boat had no air conditioning. The trip was good but during those times when the waves hit our bangka, semi-rough se

Are Boats Really a Terrible Investment?

Image
(Image Source: bit.ly/2iAtO5u) They say boats for sale in the Philippines are money pits. Yacht, motor boat, catamaran—whatever type of boat you buy, skeptics believe it’s not worth it. But are boats really that bad of an investment? It’s true you shell out a considerable amount of money for the initial purchase of a boat. Maintenance is also a serious matter as marina slip, fuel, service, and repair cost can be very expensive. In fact, the initial cost can be the cheapest you’ll pay, given the total expenses you’ll incur out of maintaining a boat. Purchasing a boat just to resell it afterwards is not also ideal. The value won’t be worth it considering the expenses you paid to keep it in good shape thru the years, especially if you don’t get to use it very often. Basically, if you’re investing on a boat and expecting to get rewarded financially, be ready for a huge disappointment. However, these aren’t all you’ll get when investing on a boat, either. Purchasing a boat may not be
