My mate and I are considering purchasing a 22' or 23' Chaparral runabout.

At whatever price, arrange to take delivery 'launch ready' at least 60 to 90
days before you anticipate your true boating season to begin. Based on my
reading of this and other boating fora, it will take at least that long to
resolve warranty claims with a new boat.
