This 2014 Chaparral 226 SSi is the quintessential example of why Chaparral remains a leader in the bowrider market. Known for their "Wide Tech" bow design and salt-water tough construction, this particular 22-footer hits the "sweet spot" for families who want a boat large enough for big water but nimble enough for easy trailering and docking.
Vessel Overview
The 226 SSi is built on the legendary Extended V-Plane hull, which provides a quicker plane time and a remarkably stable ride even in choppy conditions. From the stainless steel hardware to the premium upholstery, every inch of this boat reflects Chaparral's commitment to "DNA" quality.

Highlighted Features
The "Wide Tech" Bow
Unlike traditional pointed bows, the 226 SSi features a squared-off bow design. This significantly increases floor space and seating comfort up front without sacrificing the sleek profile or wave-cutting performance.
Cockpit & Interior
• Versatile Seating: Features twin swivel captain's chairs with flip-up bolsters and a spacious U-shaped aft lounge.
• Walk-Thru Transom: A dedicated path to the swim platform ensures you aren't stepping on upholstery to get in and out of the water.
• Snap-In Flooring: Easy to clean and comfortable underfoot-perfect for transitioning from a day of swimming to a sunset cruise.
• Enclosed Storage/Head: The passenger-side console opens to a deep storage area that can be equipped as a portable head-a rare and highly valued feature in a 22-foot boat.
Stern & Swim Platform
• Integrated Swim Platform: Sits low to the water for easy re-boarding.
• Aft Sunpad: The rear lounge converts into a large sunpad, featuring a propped-up "rumble seat" position for lounging while at anchor.
Performance & Handling
Powered typically by a Mercruiser or Volvo Penta sterndrive, the 226 SSi is engineered for watersports. Whether you are pulling a wakeboarder or cruising at 30 mph, the steering is responsive and the hull tracks true.
Broker's Note: "The 226 SSi is highly sought after on the brokerage market because it holds its value exceptionally well. It's the perfect 'step-up' boat for a family that has outgrown a 19-footer but doesn't want the maintenance overhead of a twin-engine cruiser."

Chaparral 226 SSi: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Chaparral 226 SSI is designed to blend luxury with the performance of a sport boat while maintaining competitive pricing. Measuring 22 feet 6 inches in length overall with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches, this model draws 2 feet 10 inches of water and has an empty weight of 3,900 pounds. Our test configuration, including half fuel and two passengers, resulted in a test weight of 4,230 pounds.
Hull Design and Exterior Features
The 226 SSI features a hull with a 20-degree dead rise and a reverse chine that leads to a single lifting strake on each side. A notable design element is the extended V-plane running surface, which extends beyond the outdrive collar on the transom. This configuration is intended to facilitate quicker planing times and reduce bow rise. The hull’s reverse chines contribute to increased stability at rest and help keep the boat drier when cutting through choppy water. Additional exterior features include a walkthrough windshield that offers excellent visibility with minimal obstruction from the frame, and a bow area with a wide tech design that enhances room and performance.
Helm and Cockpit Layout
The helm station is thoughtfully arranged, featuring optional square anti-fog gauges with chrome bezels, replacing the standard round instruments. A central compartment is designed to house a Garmin 531 GPS unit, which can remain open if the GPS is not installed. The optional convenience package enhances the helm with a compass, digital depth gauge, and a stereo remote control positioned within easy reach near the throttle. The walkthrough to the bow can be closed off, providing comfort in cooler conditions. Storage compartments on either side of the engine hatch offer access to batteries and the power steering pump. The aft cockpit seat lifts to reveal the engine compartment, which, although compact, allows for maintenance access via removable side bulkheads. The engine hatch is supported by robust stainless steel hinges and gas assist struts, ensuring safe and easy operation. A small storage compartment ahead of the engine is ideal for tools and maintenance supplies. The test boat was also equipped with an optional fixed firefighting system.
Power and Performance
Powered by a 300 horsepower MerCruiser 350 MAG engine, the Chaparral 226 SSI achieved a top speed of 54.4 miles per hour at 5300 rpm during testing. At this speed, the fuel consumption was 24.55 gallons per hour, providing a range of approximately 110 miles. The most efficient cruising speed was found at 3000 rpm, where the boat traveled at 27.6 miles per hour while burning 7.06 gallons per hour, extending the range to 193 miles. The extended V-plane hull contributed to a rapid planing time of 2.6 seconds, reaching 20 mph in 4.1 seconds and 30 mph in 6.7 seconds. The boat exhibited minimal bow rise during acceleration, maintaining excellent forward visibility. Steering feedback became lighter with slight up trim and acceleration. The reverse chines enhanced cornering stability, although aggressive, high-performance turns could induce some chine walk, which can be mitigated by reducing speed. The 226 SSI handled wakes smoothly, showing only minor instability when briefly airborne, and cut cleanly through calm river conditions.
Suitability and Engine Options
The Chaparral 226 SSI’s hull design and performance characteristics make it suitable for a range of boating activities, from novice water skiing to more performance-oriented pursuits. The boat’s stability at rest and dry ride in choppy conditions add to its versatility. For those who do not require the top-end speed of the tested 300 horsepower model, Chaparral offers nine different engine options, allowing buyers to select a powerplant that best matches their boating preferences and style.
Conclusion
The Chaparral 226 SSI successfully combines luxury features with sport boat performance in a well-designed package. Its extended V-plane hull delivers quick planing and stable handling, while the thoughtfully arranged helm and cockpit provide comfort and convenience. With multiple engine choices and a hull that caters to both casual and performance boating, the 226 SSI offers a balanced option for a variety of users. Overall, it stands out as a versatile and capable boat within its class.
