The Scoop on the All-New Chaparral 277 SSX

We've been talking about this boat for awhile now. We've been waiting to get to know it since August of last year. And now, others have caught the bug associated with this boat. Meet the new 2013 Chaparral 277 SSX.



Let's start from the front and work our way back. The adult-sized bow area has unique seats that don't force you to sit sideways or put your legs up if you don't want to, thanks to the L-shape bench to port and across the bow, and a separate, forward-facing seat to starboard. One of the boat's options are pull-up cleats, which make the once treacherous path around the bow of the boat safe for your toes. Storage capabilities start (but doesn't stop) under the bow seats.

In the cockpit, the vinyl wrapped helm feels good, is obviously well done and adds a note of luxury to the boat. It's also easy to get inside the helm to wiring if that ever becomes necessary. A removeable cockpit table allows you to gather... or not. It's there if you want it, and not in the way when you don't! Large storage lockers in this area provide plenty of room for all of your boating accessories. The storage drawers roll in and out easily - we liked not having to fight with them, or worry about them rolling open at inopportune times.

In the stern area, you again have options: either leave the stern open so you can easily walk through the cockpit area to the swim platform and off the boat, or add the removeable cushion to create a lounge seat. 

Now for the details: the boat has a yacht certified passenger capacity, is 27 ft long (obviously) and has a 105 gal fuel capacity.

Is this boat in your future?
