2023 Chaparral SSI 21 SPORT | 21' 0"

Chaparral is expanding and improving its well-­appointed SSi series of runabouts, reinforcing the company’s commitment to recruiting new boaters by offering a well-engineered, well-built series of boats at a moderate price. The sterndrive-powered 21 SSi proved that ethos during our day running it.
The SSi brings all of the impressive luxury for which Chaparral is known: a glossy gelcoat, generous use of polished stainless steel in hardware such as grab rails, ­hinges, latches and drains, and more. And the SSi matches its style with performance.

While many boatbuilders have abandoned the middle-­class boater, instead focusing on the established, well-heeled boater, ­Chaparral’s commitment to the SSi series speaks of its commitment to recruiting new boaters with value grounded in high-­quality style and good ­performance.
