2000 Chaparral Sunseta 232

The Sunseta 232 layout gives everyone their own space instead of crowding on a straight bench. The wraparound cockpit seating and walk-through transom make it easy to move from swim platform to bow without climbing over cushions. High freeboard and deep cockpit sides help kids and guests feel secure when the water gets a little choppy. Up front, the open bow has room to stretch out, and the wide beam carries forward so it doesn’t feel cramped. Under-seat lockers and in-floor storage swallow coolers, tow ropes, and gear, so the deck stays uncluttered and ready for watersports or sunset cruises.

On an inland lake where weekends mean rafting up, tubing, and long no-wake zones, the Sunseta 232 really fits the rhythm. Its size is ideal: big enough to feel solid when wakes stack up, yet still easy to trailer to different ramps or store at home. The generous seating and enclosed head make long days on the water more comfortable for mixed crews of adults and kids. With a fuel-efficient V8 and a hull designed to plane smoothly at moderate speeds, it’s well suited to cruising shoreline coves, pulling tubes, and spending the whole day exploring without constant fuel stops.
