Premium-feel bowriders with clever seating and one of the best ride reputations.
Chaparral's SSi and SSX ranges are the sweet spot between mainstream pricing and premium finish. The extended swim platforms, flip-up bolsters and deep bow lounges are noticeably well thought out for full days on the water.
The brand's Extended V-Plane hull is a genuine talking point: it lifts onto the plane at low speed and stays there, which makes towing skiers and tubers far less fussy at part throttle.
Specifications, pricing guides and honest notes on each Chaparral bowrider.
Premium feel at mainstream money, with a hull that holds plane at ski-tow speeds.
