Research Chaparral Boats

~2017 18 H2O Ski & Fish

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

Camp. Snorkel. Dive. Wakeboard. Ski. Fish. Tube. With an 18 Ski & Fish you can do it all in the same boat on the same weekend. Flexible seating converts the 18 SF from a sport boat to a serious fishing machine in minutes. Anglers will appreciate the standard trolling motor, live bait well, dual elevated casting platform seats and gunwale rod storage. A Garmin Fish Finder is a must-have option. Attention to detail is first-rate. Wakeboarders will love the low-speed stability, high flying wakes and in-floor storage.

Set up for family fun, the bow area features full backrest cushions, two tone upholstery, drink holders and reassuring grab handles. Carry-ons stow under both seats. For fishing upfront all you have to do is remove the seat cushions, transfer a jump seat forward and you can reel'em in all morning long. When not in use, the pedestal stanchions mount conveniently inside the hinged compartments.

Enjoy a large transom sunpad, perfect for catching some rays. When you go from catching some sun to reeling in the big ones the rear platform features sure-footed non-skid and unobstructed casting. A transom walk thru allows for safe entry into the cockpit.
