The boat

This is a 1989 Chaparral 198XL with a 4.7 liter V-6 engine. She is in immaculate condition, and looks like she just floated off the cover of a magazine! I hate to say that i feel like I stole her from an older gentleman who had her in drystack for the last 5 years and finally decided to sell her. The V-6 engine has an amazing amount of torque to pull a tube (I have not tried pulling a skier with her yet), and she is amazingly stingy when you pull back to the fuel pumps! She is particularly well suited for fun on the north end of the lake, away from the wake of larger boats on the south end. A two person tube is available (extra charge), and a 12 volt air pump is on the boat for the tube or any water toys that you may bring along. While she is placarded for a maximum of 9 persons, I would NEVER advise this!! I have had 4 adults and 1 teen on the boat in total comfort, and would consider a total of 6 people an absolute maximum for a decent day on this boat. If your party is larger than this, you might consider looking at my other boat, the "Lake Lanier Gem", as she is placarded for up to 12 persons with a practical maximum of 8 or 9.

Hi! I have been boating for about 12 years (actually my first boat ride on Lake Lanier was when I was about 6 years old; does that count?), and have been a boat owner for about 10 years. I absolutely love Lake Lanier, and simply can't spend enough time on the boat myself. I recently retired after almost 27 years in Law Enforcement, so Public Safety and Military PLEASE ask about your discount!
