-: Chaparral is known for building high-end sport boats
packed with luxury, but they don't forget
the middle-class boater, and in an effort to recruit them,
they paid special attention to expanding their line
of 19 to 23 foot sport boats.
This is the 21 SSi, and I'm Randy Vance
from Boating Magazine.
Now, this boat brings to you
all the solid construction and fine fit and finish
that Chaparral is known for, but it brings it to you
in a package that probably costs about the same as your car.
Throughout the boat, you'll find
that it's got this luxury upholstery.
It's a great look, and it's possible
because Chaparral builds all of this in their own factory.
We've got multi-colored vinyl, multi textures,
you've got double stitching,
and it's all straight and even for a great look.
The padding is thick and it's multi-density
so that when you're riding in rough water,
you still have a soft ride.
Now, the hardware on the boat is also top shelf,
and that's the mark of luxury.
You've got highly polished stainless steel grab handles,
cup holders, cleats, and it all
is perfectly appointed for this boat.
Now, the bow seating area is just as large and luxurious.
The cushions are thick, and it's designed
so that you can sit facing any direction that you want.
I like the bolsters that wrap around here that enable it.
You've got extra tall ones so that you can face forward,
and the grab rails are handy to give you a secure ride.
For added sunning space, this boat is equipped
with an optional sun pad filler cushion.
If you close it off with the wind dam area,
you've got a great play pin for the kids.
Now, the boat's designed to carry 12 passengers,
and to entertain them, you've got a standard
Clarion system with six speakers.
It sounds dynamic, and it's gonna be fun for your crew.
Also for your crew, we've got an optional
wakeboard tower onboard.
It raises and lowers easily for storage or for low bridges.
To make the most of that wakeboard tower,
Chaparral has equipped this boat with
a Yamaha four-cylinder in-line out port.
It has plenty of torque for a snappy whole shot,
a great speed, and good fuel economy.
It'll get your kids up on wakeboards or skis,
and pull 'em on tubes using the tow point on the transom.
For reboarding and for safety, there's a three step
stainless steel ladder under its own hatch.
We like the way the platform is covered with SeaDek.
It's a good nonskid surface,
and it's comfortable on the feet.
Now, the key to keeping a happy crew
is keeping the gear organized,
and that takes plenty of storage.
Lift up the sun pad and you've got
an enormous storage compartment there.
Underneath the transom seats,
you've got storage compartments on either side
and a large cooler in the center,
a large ski locker in the center of the floor,
and two more compartments under the console
cap off the storage, and the side compartments in the back.
Now, the SSi series also has available a fishing package.
With it, you get the bow trolling motor,
you get an 18-gallon live well, pedestal bucket seats
to fish from, and a fish finder.
The Chaparral 21 SSi is an ideal boat
for a beginning boater, and Chaparral wants to make sure
that your first experience is a good one
so that when you're ready to move up in boating,
you might just wanna move with Chaparral.
I'm Randy Vance for Boating Magazine,
and this is the Chaparrl 21 SSi.
