Drive a Chaparral versus another boat brand and you will immediately feel the difference in ride, handling, ergonomics, materials, and hull design. No other manufacturer combines the stability, design features, and user friendliness of an SSi sportboat, Signature cruiser, or Sunesta deckboat. Below are but a few key reasons that set Chaparral apart from the rest that the marine industry has to offer.

• standard 2 Year engine warranty regardless of MerCruiser or Volvo-Penta power choices
• lifetime limited structural hull warranty, and 5 year limited hull blister warranty
• quad-radial lamination keeps the strength up and weight down, with an extremely quiet ride
• Underwriters Laboratories approved Diamond non-skid provides extreme sure footing, even when wet
• Extended V-Plane hull design provides Chaparral's with the handling of a fine European sports car

Chaparral's Expended V-Plane acts like a long wheelbase in that of a car. By extending the hull that meets the water, Chaparral's track straighter, plane faster, and are more stable than boats that have the same overall length. Other benefits include increased storage and interior space, better fuel economy, and balance under shifting boat loads.

The 2nd most important factor in boat design behind boat handling is a boat's ability to stand up against the elements and still look new over the lifetime of your boat. Sunlight, moisture, temperature extremes, and daily wear-and-tear can all take their toll on your boat. That's why Chaparral uses only premium materials that cost more than other alternatives; nothing else works so well.

• 38 oz. expanded vinyl holds its shape, and cools the "ouch" factor in hot weather
• high density foam with antimicrobials, aluminum angled supports, on composite seat bases
• water tight electrical connectors, constant light rocker switches, and circuit breakers instead of fuses!
• cockpit drainage system channels any water overboard, not in the bilge
• strategically placed insulated ice chests keeps drinks and ice cold
• stainless steel thru hull fittings, step ladders with hand grab rail, and windshield holder magnet last forever.

And on Chaparral's new Dura-flex bucket seats, instead of sitting on a foam covered block of wood like in rival offerings, Chaparral owners ride on a shock-absorbing seat for maximum support. Very important when going on a long cruise with rough water conditions. Lumbar support adds comfort and helps reduce fatigue, and a two-position flip-up front cushion allows either stand up or sit down operation operation.
