2008 Chaparral 26 STX. MerCruiser 350 MAG MPI 300HP Gas Engine.
The 2008 Chaparral 276 SSX is a 28-foot bowrider known for its deep-V hull design and yacht-certified passenger capacity.
Core Specifications:
Length Overall (LOA): 28' 0" to 28' 10" depending on swim platform configuration.
Beam: 9' 0". Dry Weight: 6,800 lbs.
Draft (Max): 2' 11" (approximately 2.92 ft). Draft (Min): 1' 8" (approximately 1.67 ft). Deadrise: 22° at transom.
Fuel Capacity: 105 gallons.
Water Capacity: 14 gallons.
Engine Options: (NEW REBUILD) HIGH OUTPUT!
The 276 SSX was typically offered with high-performance big-block engines: This one has the Volvo Penta 8.1L Gi/GXi: 420 HP.
Performance: Typical cruising speeds around 30 knots with maximum speeds reaching 45+ knots depending on the engine package. Key Features Passenger Capacity: Yacht Certified (rated for 14+ people). Cockpit: Features U-shaped seating, a refreshment center with a sink, and a solid-surface countertop.
Head: Enclosed compartment with a porcelain or pump-out toilet and sink. Swim Platform: Large integrated (molded-in) swim platform with a telescopic boarding ladder. Storage: Large in-floor ski locker and dedicated storage under bow and cockpit seating.
The 2008 Chaparral 276 SSX is equipped with a sterndrive (also known as an inboard/outboard or I/O) propulsion system. This setup pairs an engine mounted inside the hull with an steerable drive unit (outdrive) mounted on the exterior of the transom.
Volvo Penta Duoprop: Usually paired with the 8.1 Gi or GXi engines, this system also utilizes counter-rotating propellers for increased efficiency and straight-line tracking.
Why This Drive Type?
Efficiency: The dual-propeller design (Bravo Three or Duoprop) reduces "prop walk," allowing the boat to track straighter and handle better in reverse compared to single-prop systems.
Performance: These drives are designed to handle the high torque and horsepower (375 HP to 425 HP) typical of the big-block engines found in the 276 SSX. Maneuverability: The sterndrive's ability to tilt and trim allows for better control of the boat's running angle and the ability to operate in shallower water when the drive is trimmed up.
