The SSI Series: The Gold Standard for Family Fun

The SSI models, such as the 21 SSi and 23 SSi, are constructed using Chaparral’s patented Extended V-Plane hull design. This innovation extends the running surface behind the transom, resulting in a “feather-soft” ride and remarkable stability at low speeds.

The SSX Series: Luxury Without Compromise

If the SSi is the gold standard, then the SSX series is the platinum. These luxury bowriders are designed for boaters who desire more—more speed, more technology, and more excitement.

Models like the SSX 6 and the impressive 30 SSX are designed to be “captivating with no compromise.” They boast heavier, more sophisticated hulls and premium finishes that rival those of luxury automobiles.

Are you ready to join the surf era? The Chaparral GTS Surf models, including the GTS 1, GTS 3, GTS 6, 28 Surf, and 30 Surf, combine the luxury of a bowrider with the specialized technology of a wake boat.

Why the GTS Surf is Unique?

The GTS Surf series is specifically designed for wakesurfing, in contrast to the SSi or SSX models. It features Malibu Surf Gate™ technology, which allows you to easily adjust the wake from side to side without having to move passengers around.
