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 infloor storage.

BOW FISHING CHAIR
TROLLING MOTOR
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 bowrider seats. For fishing upfront all you have to do is remove the seat cushions, transfer a jump seat forward and cast your cares aside as you reel'em in all morning long. When not in use, the pedestal stanchions mount conveniently inside the hinged compartments. Don't forget a premium quality MotorGuide trolling motor.

H2O GAUGES
Set against an all-new helm design featuring a custom hand-stitched brow, our H2O gauge package provides a wealth of information at just a glance. Aluminum faced gauges are accented with stainless steel bezels. Fog resistant and built to last, our high quality instruments are easily legible in all kinds of lighting conditions.
OPTIONAL GARMIN FISH FINDER
Our optional Garmin echo 151 is an H2O owner's dream. Scan freshwater depths up to 1,300 ft and in shallow water a 120 degree viewing angle lets you see fish well beyond the sides of your H2O. Garmin's exclusive HD-ID target tracking technology provides excellent separation and clear definition on a crisp 4" grayscale display. A quick-release tilt mount makes installation of this compact unit a snap.
EASILY ACCESSIBLE CIRCUIT BREAKERS
All of our models feature state of the art circuit breakers designed with you in mind. These water resistant breakers are located in order to be easily reached while on the water. No more fumbling with fuses while fishing, simply reset the breaker and you are back in business!

SUN PAD
AFT FISHING SEAT
WALK-THRU
SWIM PLATFORM
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.
THROTTLE DOWN AND EXPERIENCE THE EXTENDED V-PLANE DIFFERENCE
LOW SPEED STABILITY
Our hull design utilizes an extended running surface, allowing the "v-plane" to continue aft of the transom. This creates superior stability under nearly all driving conditions.
EFFICIENT FUEL ECONOMY
Less time at the pump means more time in the water and more money for bait. The hydro-lift provides a quick plane time, creating one of the most fuel efficient boats in their class.
FEATHER SOFT RIDE
A fishing trip feels like a day cruise when you're out on a Chaparral. Engineered by the best for the worst of conditions, you will feel the difference that hydro-lift provides.
PRECISE CORNERING AGILITY
The extended running surface coupled with the tight aft hull corners delivers everything you need when you're taking sharp turns. These hulls drive like a luxury automobile.
DRY RIDING FREEBOARD
Enjoy dry comfort aboard any Chaparral due to our high freeboard. Feel secure in the deep cockpits. You'll be amazed at the size, all while maintaining a sleek profile.
FULL THROTTLE EXCITEMENT
With a forward keel designed to cut through the water like a knife, high-octane pleasure awaits. Quick acceleration delivers the ride of a lifetime each time you leave the dock.
