Hi, I'm Austin Ashley
and welcome to the Product Tour
of the 21 Surf from Chaparral.
This boat has a length overall of 21 feet, a beam
of 8 feet, 4 inches, and a passenger capacity of 12.
This crossover bow rider is perfect
to get anyone on the water and on a wave.
Let's take a closer look.
The 21 Surf comes standard
with a factory matched trailer from Coyote Manufacturing.
This tandem axle trailer will come standard
as a black powder coat
and feature four-wheel disc brakes, trailer load guides,
and LED submersible lighting.
You can option this trailer as a black powder coat
with color matched fenders
or a white powder coat
with color matched fenders like the boat seen behind me.
What sets the 21 Surf apart from the competition is
how we shape our wave.
We utilize a couple of different things
that really make a difference while on the water.
We use a soft bag ballast system,
which doesn't have any hard tanks.
That way, you're not sacrificing any
permanent storage within the boat.
Whenever you're ready, you fill the bag up.
Whenever you're done, you let it empty.
We also use a forward facing drive.
Now you can choose between Volvo Penta or Mercury
Mercruiser forward facing drives.
This allows you to retain the maneuverability
and efficiency of a stern drive while creating a good wave.
We also use the patented Malibu surf gates.
We use these over some of our competition
that uses oversized trim tab like structures,
which allows us to use less ballast to overcome the lift
and create a great wave.
We also utilize a specially designed wake surfing hull.
All three of these things combine
to create the best wave that you can surf.
The bow area of the 21 Surf was designed to be comfortable
and functional. Forward,
you have a foredeck that's covered in diamond pattern,
non-skid and utilizes flush mount hardware for a safe step
with no tripping hazards.
You also have a dedicated anchor locker with keeper tabs
for a danforth style anchor.
Moving back, you have a removable center cushion
that gives way to more diamond pattern non-skid
to allow a safe step to the foredeck. To port
and starboard, you have removable cushions for easy access
to your two large fiberglass storage compartments.
Chaparral utilizes a triple stitch French seam
and a silicone oxide upholstery, which is soft and supple,
but also durable
and easy to clean, meaning your interior will be looking
great for years to come.
The 21 Surf features a full wraparound windshield
that offers plenty of protection while
not obstructing your view.
This windshield also features a center walkthrough section
that when paired with the bow close off door offers you
protection from those cool mornings
out on the water. You have a molded fiberglass helm
with a hand stitched vinyl brow that together act
to help counteract glare.
The 21 Surf comes standard
with a touchscreen multifunction Simrad Go9 screen.
That also features surf functions like your ballast bag,
which side you wanna surf on, and your cruise control.
Below that, you have stainless steel push button switches,
a steering wheel mounted to a tilt base,
and easy access to your control pinnacle. To port,
you have a matching helm
that features a hand-stitched vinyl brow,
a locking glove box, a stainless steel grab rail,
and two stainless steel cup holders. To center,
you have access to your stereo remote
and underneath each helm console
is a large storage compartment.
The cockpit of the 21 Surf will have you thinking
that you're in a bigger boat.
Standard slide and swivel bucket seats are perfect
for turning around to act as a spotter
or to spin around and join the conversation when you're
anchored up and passengers will love the back bench seat.
You can easily sit three to four people
and everyone has access
to two stainless steel draining cup holders
and stainless steel grab handles. To port and starboard
in the corners, you have removable cushions
that reveal access to oversized storage compartments.
The port side also housing your standard battery
switch. To center,
you have a built-in overboard draining,
insulated 70 quart cooler, which is great
for throwing drinks in
and not having to worry about lugging on a cooler
and it taking up space. To center of this boat,
you have an oversized floor storage compartment,
which is perfect for dock lines, fenders, skis,
wakeboards, or surfboards.
This compartment also doubles as storage
for your soft ballast bag, so pull that stuff out.
When you're ready to surf, fill it
up and you're ready to go.
When you're done, simply drain it out
and you have your storage bag.
Now that's 675 pounds of ballast,
which means this boat will be sure to throw out a good wave.
The 21 Surf has horsepower options from 250
to 280 horsepower available from both Volvo Penta
and Mercury Mercruiser.
This engine compartment is always accessible just
by easily lifting up on the back Sun pad.
This hatch is supported by two gas assist struts
and features convoluted foam on the
bottom for sound management.
Also, while up, you have access
to two other storage compartments
where you can easily access your batteries
or throw extra items.
The thing I like the most is both
of these motors will feature all
of your service here at the front
and you have plenty of room to access it all.
The Sun Pad and the swim platform
of the 21 Surf is a perfect place
to enjoy an afternoon while anchored up. A tri-
position lounge offers a port
or starboard facing chaise lounge
and the center section popup jump seat.
The swim platform is full width,
which allows easy boarding from the dock.
It's also covered in a diamond pattern, non-skid,
which provides a safe step.
You can also opt for the Seadek swim platform mat like seen
here. You have two stainless steel pull-up cleats, a
concealed reboarding ladder for easy access,
and you can also opt for the extended swim platform,
which almost doubles the usable space.
Whether it's cruising, skiing,
or surfing, this is the perfect boat to get you,
your friends and your family out on the water.
