Research 2018 - Chaparral Boats - 257 Surf SSX

~FUN INSIDE AND OUT

Room for everything and everyone. Chaparral took wakesurfing to the next level when designing the 257SSX. The speed, fuel efficiency and maneuverability of a stern drive, and a wake that even a professional ride can appreciate. Surf in the morning, hang out at the sandbar in the afternoon, and cruise to your favorite waterfront eatery in the event. All with the same boat.

~ENDLESS SURF
The 246 SSi Surf edition is equipped with the patented, hydraulically operated Malibu Surf Gate™ which transforms watersport wakes into the most surfable and customizable waves possible. On a boat equipped with Surf GateTM, there’s no need for passengers to pile up and lean the boat to affect the wave.

~ENDLESS FUN
Spend more time on the water with the ability to transfer from side-to-side without having to change ballast weight.

~USER FRIENDLY
Fun for the whole family - control the direction of the wake easily from the touch screen controls or from the optional wristband.

~COMPETITION LEVEL WAKE
Unlike other stern drive companies that only use a forward facing drive, the Malibu Surf Gate™ allows Chaparral to produce competition level surf wakes.
