2004 Chaparral 256 SSi | 26ft

We don’t have a crystal ball, but we wouldn’t be surprised if the brand new and simply perfect 256 SSi becomes Chaparral’s ninth Boat of the Year winner. It’s that special. We borrowed the fore and aft boarding ladders from our Sunesta deckboats. The helm and cockpit entertainment center are reminiscent of a Signature cruiser. Never before seen extras include an enclosed fiberglass hideaway head that’s part of the portside dash console and a transom design that includes a walk-thru center section, a full-width sun lounge and not one but two hinged storage trunks. Behind the wheel you’ll enjoy a big boat feel with the acceleration and handling of a sportboat.
