Chaparral 250: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Chaparral 250 OSX is a versatile 24-foot 6-inch boat with an 8-foot 6-inch beam, designed to offer a blend of performance, comfort, and thoughtful features. Powered by a single 250 horsepower Yamaha four-stroke outboard, it delivers solid handling and ample power for family outings and water sports. The boat's design emphasizes ease of use, storage capacity, and safety, making it a practical choice for boaters seeking both functionality and style.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
Starting at the stern, the 250 OSX features swim platforms on each side measuring 34 inches by 22 inches, equipped with pull-up cleats and stainless steel chain plates for durability. The ladder hatch operates on a tension hinge, allowing for easy deployment of the four-step ladder without needing to hold it in place. The boat offers convenient access around the motor and splash well, with a fresh water flush access plate for bilge components. Fuel fills are located on both port and starboard sides, enabling flexible refueling options at gas stations. The cockpit is spacious, measuring 88 inches from the step base to the helm console and 42 inches wide, with optional SeaDek matting and large drainage outlets. Seating arrangements include adjustable seat backs that slide smoothly between forward and aft-facing positions, with large storage compartments beneath. Additional bench seats and deep storage lockers are integrated into the design, including an 80-inch long locker and a secondary 30-inch locker with battery access. The optional water sports arch folds down electronically for clearance under low bridges and features a matte finish that contrasts with the seat sheen. The boat also includes multiple stainless steel beverage holders, grab handles, courtesy lighting, and high-quality JL Audio speakers strategically placed throughout the exterior.
Helm and Control Features
The helm area is finished with a dark wood trim that adds a refined touch. It comes standard with dual seven-inch Simrad touchscreen displays that can be split for engine data and navigation. Accessory switches are stainless steel, clearly labeled, and illuminated when powered. The ignition and tilt steering wheel are conveniently located, with stereo controls positioned just ahead of the digital throttle and shift controls. The helm seats are adjustable both forward and by rotation, enhancing comfort and visibility. The port console houses a glove box with tension hinges and a padded area suitable for a cell phone, although no charging ports are included.
Interior Living Spaces and Amenities
The port console opens to reveal a private head compartment featuring an upgraded porcelain Tecma pump-out toilet, a stainless steel sink with a pull-up shower, a mirror, and an opening port for ventilation. The compartment offers 44 inches of overall headroom and 32 inches of seated headroom on the toilet. The bow area provides comfortable seating with padded bolsters and a removable center cushion for anchor access. Storage is thoughtfully designed with insulated cooler compartments and secure locking mechanisms for filler cushion legs and table components. The anchor locker is centrally located with tension-hinged access hatches for ease of use.
Power and Performance
Powered by a single 250 horsepower Yamaha four-stroke outboard paired with a 15 1/4 by 17-inch saltwater series propeller, the 250 OSX achieves a top speed of 47.32 miles per hour at 5700 RPM. Its best cruise speed is 27.1 miles per hour at 3500 RPM, consuming 8.7 gallons per hour, which translates to 3.1 miles per gallon and a range of approximately 168 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve from the 60-gallon tank. Acceleration tests showed the boat reaching 20 miles per hour in 5.6 seconds, 30 miles per hour in 7.2 seconds, and maintaining minimum plane speed at 24.2 miles per hour. The extended V-plane hull design, which extends to the trailing edge of the swim platform, acts like trim tabs to keep the boat level, improve planing time, and enhance handling during turns by minimizing stern squat and maintaining grip. This results in a comfortable and confident ride, especially during acceleration and cornering.
Conclusion
The Chaparral 250 OSX is a well-rounded boat that combines spaciousness, thoughtful design, and strong performance. Its ample storage, comfortable seating, and advanced helm features make it suitable for families and water sports enthusiasts alike. The extended V-plane hull contributes to excellent handling characteristics, while the powerful Yamaha outboard ensures responsive acceleration and cruising capabilities. Overall, the 250 OSX offers a compelling package for boaters seeking a trailerable, easy-to-use, and versatile day boat.
