Research 2018 - Chaparral Boats - 257 SSX

~Best In Class Style

Step onboard the sensational 257 SSX and experience the perfect mix of classic elegance and high tech innovation. Bow to stern, the eye appeal is simply stunning as you enjoy the pleasures of handcrafted workmanship. A transitional lounge opens up all kinds of entertainment opportunities. Showcasing innovative dual lounges, the aft seats effortlessly "switch" from a performance-minded sport boat to the ultimate in sun worship. Endless storage puts an end to onboard clutter. Aft, the center walk thru design is an open invitation for family fun.

Docking lights are part of a Premium package that includes a bow scuff plate and two extra pull-up cleats on the swim platform. The anchor and forward boarding ladder both stow in a large forward compartment complete with a locking cradle. Both bow seats have hinged seat cushions which lift to reveal super-sized storage compartments. Stretch out and enjoy the luxury of the finest bowrider in this size range. Chaise lounge bow seats feature retractable armrest supports. Stainless steel drink holders are recessed into the gunwales. Full-sized stainless steel support rails surround the bow area.

The huge integrated swim platform features Diamond Lustre non-skid with a Logo Mat available as optional equipment. A telescopic boarding ladder is starboard mounted for safe driver visibility of anyone in the water and features a top-rung grab handle. A large grab rail is also positioned near water level on the platform.
