The 256 SSi is Powerboat Magazine's reigning Boat of the Year winner. The first time you step onboard you'll agree there isn't a bowrider in this size range that even comes close in overall performance, styling, familyminded features, workmanship and value.
Featuring fore and aft boarding ladders like our Sunesta Deckboats with high quality solid surface countertops in the cockpit and head reminiscent of our luxurious Signature Cruisers, the 256 is a multipurpose sportboat that only Chaparral could build.
Never before seen extras include an enclosed fiberglass hideaway head that's part of the portside dash console. The transom area includes a walk-thru center section, a full-width sun lounge and not one but two hinged storage trunks.
Our clever and space-efficient U-shaped cockpit seating arrangement includes a standard aft filler cushion which, combined with the full-sized sunlounge over the engine compartment, gives you two side-by-side areas to stretch out and grab some rays. A safety rail protects the transom area.
Reminiscent of a cruiser, the split console glare resistant woodgrain dash features our new-look speedometer, tach and space-saving four-in-one engine-monitoring gauge. A line-of-sight compass will help keep you on course while a padded armrest provides comfort on long-distance trips.
Surprisingly, the port side dash door opens up to reveal an enclosed fiberglass head that comes standard with a vanity that includes a Sovereign Cherry cabinet, sink with pressurized water and solid surface countertops. A fiberglass floor liner, screened opening port and a porta-pottie are also standard.
You've never seen a transom area this efficient and innovative. Remove the center cushions for full walk-thru access to the transom. Additionally both sunlounge cushions are hinged and open up easily to reveal king - sized molded transom storage lockers. Non-skid walkways are secure and easy to keep clean.
