2017 Chaparral 227 SSX

Step aboard and you’ll notice how thoughtfully this 227 SSX is laid out for real-world days on the water. The transom walkthrough keeps wet feet off the cushions, and the wide swim platform doubles as a staging spot for tow sports or an easy lounging perch at anchor. Deep, secure freeboard gives kids and guests a confident ride when the chop picks up. The adjustable helm and companion seats spin and slide so everyone can face the conversation, not the windshield. Under the seats and in the in-floor locker you’ll find serious storage for boards, lines, and inflatable toys, so the cockpit stays uncluttered and ready for fun from first launch to last light.

In these waters, conditions can change from glassy calm to afternoon chop in a hurry, and the 227 SSX is built to handle that shift with confidence. Its deep, secure seating and substantial hull give a solid, predictable ride when you’re running across open stretches, yet the boat’s size still makes it nimble enough for tighter coves, winding channels, and busy marina traffic. The generous swim platform and easy bow access shine when you’re beaching out on sandbars or rafting with friends. Add in the comfortable layout for a crowd, and this Chaparral becomes a versatile all‑day platform for cruising, swimming, and towing in the local conditions.
