Chaparral 216 SSI: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Chaparral 216 SSI is a 21-foot 6-inch bowrider designed for versatile recreational boating. It features a beam of 8 feet 4 inches and a draft of 34 inches. With an empty weight of 3,500 pounds, plus 30 gallons of fuel and two passengers, the test weight reached 4,030 pounds. This model is powered by a 270 horsepower Volvo Penta 5.0 GXI engine, delivering a blend of performance and efficiency suitable for activities like wakeboarding and cruising.
Power and Performance
During testing, the Chaparral 216 SSI achieved a top speed of 52.4 miles per hour at 5,000 RPM, consuming 21.4 gallons per hour and yielding 2.45 miles per gallon for an 88-mile range. At a more economical cruising speed of 28.6 miles per hour at 3,000 RPM, fuel consumption dropped to 7.6 gallons per hour, improving fuel efficiency to nearly 3.8 miles per gallon and extending range to 135 miles. The boat demonstrated responsive throttle control and straightforward trim adjustments, allowing for smooth acceleration and comfortable handling. The extended V-plane hull design contributed to quick planing times, reaching plane in 3.7 seconds and accelerating to 50 miles per hour in 18.5 seconds. Turning performance was characterized by a gentle roll and stable, comfortable maneuvering, with the ability to add power mid-turn to enhance control.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
Starting at the stern, the Chaparral 216 SSI features a swim platform with a logo-embossed non-skid surface that enhances safety and aesthetics. A stainless steel grab handle with an integrated tow hook is centrally located on the transom, accompanied by a three-step reboarding ladder positioned within easy view of the helm. The optional premium package adds features such as additional pull-up cleats, a bow scuff plate, and docking lights, while the convenience package includes a stereo remote with trim switch, compass, and depth finder. Notably, fuel fills are provided on both sides of the boat as standard. The seating area includes thick, durable 36-ounce Dura-Life Max vinyl cushions with double French stitching, offering resistance to staining. The aft sun pad cleverly flips back to create a chaise lounge, and the walk-through deck conceals a large storage compartment ideal for wet gear. Wraparound seating at the stern includes two levels of armrests and high gunwales for safety, with port-side observer seating that slides and swivels aft, both featuring flip-up bolsters for comfort. Sole storage beneath the seats is lined with a rubber mat and accessed via a gas-assisted hatch.
Helm and Controls
The helm layout is clean and functional, centered around a three-spoke steering wheel with a flattened bottom to improve legroom. Instrumentation includes fog-proof, stainless steel bezel gauges branded with the Chaparral logo, featuring fuel and speedometer on the port side, a 4-in-1 gauge centrally located, and an integrated hour meter with optional depth gauge to starboard. A subtle eyebrow above the panel reduces glare. Switch panels below the gauges have illuminated icons and secondary indicator lights for active functions, all protected by a clear coat finish. Controls include a dimmer switch and a 12-volt power supply. The captain's armrest provides easy access to throttle adjustments and the stereo remote. Below the helm, ample legroom is available. The windshield is supported by sturdy aluminum and wood veneer panels, with a walk-through door that closes to block wind, secured by a magnetic catch. Storage compartments and stereo controls are conveniently located behind the door.
Bow Area and Storage
The bow seating area incorporates Chaparral's Y-Tech design, combining a pickle fork shape above the waterline with a traditional V hull below. This configuration offers spacious seating with storage beneath the cushions, which include gutters to channel water away. Seat backs open with magnetic closures to reveal additional storage. Instead of a step under the forward seat cushion, an insulated cooler with an overboard drain is integrated, enhancing convenience. The bow also features a non-skid platform suitable for diving and an anchor locker, although the absence of a reboarding ladder in the anchor locker was noted.
Conclusion
The Chaparral 216 SSI presents a well-rounded package combining responsive performance, thoughtful design, and practical features. Its quick planing times and smooth handling make it suitable for water sports and cruising alike. The exterior and interior layouts emphasize comfort, safety, and storage versatility, while optional packages allow for customization. Overall, the 216 SSI demonstrates Chaparral's attention to detail and user-friendly design in a compact bowrider format.
