Engine Notes

The Chaparral 285 SSi is Powerboat Magazine's Boat of the Year for 2002. Underneath, a 22-degree Extended V-Plane bottom design is bold enough for big water, yet tame enough for weekends on the river. Inside, a double-wide adjustable helm seat complements wrap-around aft seating. This cruiser-style seating is an extra not usually found on a cuddy cabin sportboat of this size.
