About Chaparral Boats in Michigan

Chaparral has been building premium sport boats and bowriders in Nashville, Georgia since 1965, earning a reputation for exceptional ride quality and craftsmanship. In Michigan, Chaparral appeals to boaters who want a step above mass-market brands without reaching luxury-brand pricing. Their SSi outboard series brought modern outboard power to the sport boat category, while the H2O line offers a more affordable entry point. Whether you want a nimble 19-foot day boat or a 30-foot SSX loaded with features, Chaparral delivers a smooth, dry ride that owners consistently rave about.

Why Choose Chaparral

Wide-Tech Hull Design

Chaparral's extended-platform hull creates a wider, more stable ride with more interior space than competitors at the same length. The result is a remarkably smooth, dry ride even in choppy conditions.

SSi Outboard Series

The SSi line pairs sport boat styling with Mercury or Yamaha outboard power, offering better fuel efficiency, easier maintenance, and more cockpit space than sterndrive alternatives.

Premium Craftsmanship

Hand-laid fiberglass hulls, custom-stitched upholstery, and stainless steel hardware throughout give Chaparral boats a fit and finish that rivals brands costing significantly more.

Surf Series

Chaparral's Surf line brings wake surfing capability to their sport boat platform, complete with integrated ballast, surf tabs, and tower-mounted board racks.

Snap-In Marine Mat Flooring

Chaparral's snap-in EVA foam flooring provides cushioned, non-slip footing throughout the boat. It removes easily for cleaning and adds a premium feel underfoot.

How much does a new Chaparral boat cost?
New Chaparral boats range from about $40,000 for an H2O 19 to over $200,000 for a loaded SSX 317. The SSi outboard line in the 21-25 foot range — where most buyers shop — typically runs $55,000–$100,000 depending on options.

Do Chaparral boats hold their value?
