2003 Chaparral Chaparral 220 SSi

Step down into this 220 SSi and you’ll notice how deep the cockpit feels—high freeboard and tall gunwales give everyone a secure ride when the chop picks up. The helm is classic Chaparral, with clear gauges and an intuitive layout so you’re not hunting for switches while underway. Up front, the bow lounges are shaped for stretching out, not just perching, and the stainless bow rails give extra confidence for kids and guests. The extended swim platform makes gearing up for tubing or a quick swim simple, with the ladder tucked out of the way. Thoughtful touches like nonskid where you actually step and solid stainless hardware remind you this isn’t an entry-level runabout.

This 220 SSi is an ideal match for the varied conditions you’ll find here, from lazy no‑wake zones to open stretches where you can let the 350 MAG stretch its legs. The hull’s size and deadrise handle afternoon boat wakes with more composure than smaller bowriders, keeping passengers drier and more comfortable on longer runs. At just over twenty‑one feet, it’s still easy to trailer, launch, and store, yet the roomy cockpit and bow let you bring family and friends without feeling cramped. Whether you’re beaching on a sandbar, cruising shoreline scenery, or pulling a tube, this Chaparral hits the sweet spot between performance, comfort, and practicality for local waters.
