Chaparral 247 SSX: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Chaparral 247 SSX Black Edition is a recently introduced model that combines style, performance, and customization options within a competitive length category. This boat offers a comprehensive standard package with numerous optional upgrades, allowing owners to tailor the vessel to their preferences. The Black Edition package distinguishes itself with a striking black color scheme on the topsides, bottom, EFX2 tower, and windshield frame, complemented by cayenne-colored silicone vinyl upholstery with black accents, black dashes, special edition badging, a JL audio system upgrade, and underwater lighting.
Exterior Design and Cockpit Features
The cockpit of the 247 SSX features wraparound seating that extends nearly completely around the area, beginning with a bench seat to starboard equipped with beverage holders and speakers recessed under the bolster. Premium Envision silicone vinyl upholstery and self-draining decking covered with C-deck non-skid matting enhance durability and comfort. Storage is abundant, including a molded 50-quart self-draining cooler beneath the starboard bench and dedicated compartments for water toy inflators and other gear. To port, an aft-facing chaise lounge arranged in an L-shape includes a pedestal table mount, stainless beverage holders that double as rod holders, and ample storage beneath the seats. The port seating also features a flip bolster and a forward-facing conversion mechanism. A lockable glove box with connectivity and stainless grab handles are conveniently located near the helm area. The EFX2 sport tower overhead adds to the boat's sporty profile.
Bow Layout and Stern Features
The bow area departs from typical bow rider layouts by incorporating wider padded bolsters with full wraparound support and diamond-stitched two-tone upholstery for enhanced comfort. A 23-inch wide walkthrough with an air dam can be closed to protect against chilly conditions or lie flush when open. The forward cushion lifts to reveal a non-skid step and a self-draining insulated cooler beneath. Additional features include pedestal mounts for a bow table, dual stainless beverage holders, recessed speakers, and full-length stainless grab rails. Storage compartments are integrated under seat backs, with gas support struts holding hatches open. Forward access to an anchor locker is secured by a lift-and-lock latch, and pull-up cleats are positioned on both sides. At the stern, a 42-inch deep swim platform incorporates an infinity power step controlled via switches on the starboard bulwark, providing a comfortable reboarding area and a relaxing spot for occupants. The sun pad converts between seating and a chaise lounge configuration, with fixed seating to port designed for use while at anchor or beaching. Extensive storage beneath the seats accommodates long boards and other equipment.
Operational Features and Helm Station
Operational convenience is evident throughout the 247 SSX. Battery switches are accessible beneath a tension-hinged hatch at the cockpit walkthrough, and fuel fills are located near six-inch cleats on both sides. The engine compartment is accessed via a pull handle under the aft seat, supported by dual struts for ease of opening, revealing ample space for routine maintenance and bilge inspection. The helm station is well-appointed with dual 7-inch Simrad multifunction displays configurable to display a wide range of information. Electrical controls are arranged as four push-button switches on either side of the console. The wrap steering wheel is mounted on a tilt base, and a stereo system with connectivity is integrated near the helm. The captain’s seat is a wraparound bucket style featuring winged backs that allow leg swiveling without rotating the seat itself, with visible and accessible controls for swivel and slide functions, along with a flip bolster for elevated seating.
Power and Performance
The 247 SSX is built on Chaparral's extended V-plane hull, known for quick planing and minimal bow rise, contributing to excellent handling and safety. The boat tested was powered by a mid-range 300 horsepower 6.2-liter Mercury MerCruiser engine paired with a Bravo 3 OutDrive. Performance testing revealed a top speed of 47.8 miles per hour at 5,000 rpm in light chop, with Chaparral’s internal tests reaching 50.3 mph under better conditions. The optimal cruising speed was identified at 3,500 rpm, achieving 30.8 mph with a fuel consumption of 9.5 gallons per hour, translating to 3.3 miles per gallon and a range of 176 statute miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the 60-gallon tank. The boat demonstrated excellent manners, with no cavitation during turns and confident handling in choppy conditions.
Customization and Options
While the Black Edition package adds distinctive styling and premium features, the 247 SSX is also available without these upgrades, maintaining the same hull design, handling characteristics, and comfort levels. Engine options include a 250 horsepower 4.5-liter Mercury engine with a Bravo 3 OutDrive, providing flexibility for buyers seeking different performance profiles or price points.
Conclusion
The Chaparral 247 SSX Black Edition successfully integrates elegance, style, and performance into a versatile bow rider platform. Its thoughtful design, premium materials, and advanced features position it competitively within its segment. The Black Edition enhancements elevate the boat’s aesthetic appeal and onboard experience, making it a compelling choice for buyers seeking a luxurious and capable day boat. Overall, the 247 SSX delivers a refined boating experience with excellent handling, abundant amenities, and customizable options.
