Chaparral 347 SSX: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Chaparral 347 SSX represents the largest model in Chaparral's SSX line, designed as a versatile day cruiser with extended capabilities for overnight stays. Its spacious layout accommodates a large number of passengers, limited primarily by seating capacity, and features a full beam cabin that comfortably sleeps two, making it suitable for weekend cruising.

Interior Living Spaces

The standout feature of the 347 SSX is its full beam cabin, which showcases wood veneer finishes on bulkheads, doors, and cabinetry, lending a refined aesthetic. To port, the cabin includes optional amenities such as a microwave and a 24-inch LED flat screen television. The ship's distribution panel manages shore power or a 3-kilowatt generator, which powers systems like the reverse cycle air conditioner, enabling comfortable three-season use. The sleeping area converts easily from a bed for two into an L-shaped couch, upholstered in color-coordinated ultra suede fabrics treated with Scotchgard for durability. A unique feature in this class is the inclusion of a seat-aligned closet. Natural light enters through three screen-covered portholes. The head compartment functions both as a bathroom and shower, equipped with a stainless steel sink and shower head, a hard surface countertop, a vacuum flush toilet, a frosted porthole with screen, and a powered vent.

Exterior Design and Deck Amenities

The bow area comfortably seats up to six adults and features a side-mounted table that maximizes legroom when in use. Integrated headrests add to passenger comfort, while index storage and insulated compartments beneath the seats provide practical storage solutions. Behind the windshield, seating is arranged to allow four people to face forward during navigation, with two seats at the helm and two companion seats. The cockpit offers L-shaped seating constructed with NanoBlock technology for enhanced UV protection, complemented by a table for socializing. Stainless steel articulating hinges facilitate easy access to storage beneath the seats. The test model included an optional wet bar in place of starboard seating, featuring a solid surface countertop, trash receptacle, stainless steel cup holders, sink with pressurized water, grab handle, and dual power refrigerator. The sole storage compartment is sizable, measuring 69 inches long, 45 inches wide, and 29 inches deep, suitable for water sports equipment. Access to the cockpit is facilitated by an integrated step with diamond-cut non-skid surface on the side gunwale. Overhead, the hardtop is equipped with stainless speaker grills, a forward hatch for bow access, and three-color LED lighting. The swim platform includes an electrically actuated seat that converts into a sun pad at the push of a button, revealing additional storage with drink holders, alongside a fresh water shower on the starboard side.

Power and Performance

The engine compartment is conveniently located under the aft seat and is electrically actuated, providing ample space for routine maintenance such as oil and fluid changes. The test boat was powered by twin Mercury 6.2-liter 350 horsepower DTS engines paired with Bravo 3 drives. The helm area reflects Chaparral's attention to detail, featuring a custom molded fiberglass dash wrapped in hand-stitched vinyl, aluminum and stainless steel panels, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Operator and companion seats are adjustable with flip-up bolsters. Engine controls are mounted at an angle to keep them clear of the joystick used for stir drive operation. With an estimated test weight of 12,725 pounds, the boat reached plane in 5.1 seconds, passed 20 miles per hour in 6.1 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 9.2 seconds. The top speed recorded was 48.5 miles per hour at 5100 RPM, with a fuel burn of 26.6 gallons per hour, yielding a range of 247 miles. The optimal cruising speed was identified at 3500 RPM and 23 miles per hour, consuming 9.4 gallons per hour and offering a range of 330 statute miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. The hull design features a 22-degree dead rise at the transom with an extended V-plane, enhancing buoyancy, improving fuel efficiency, stability, and providing a smooth ride in choppy conditions. The relatively high freeboard also supports confident offshore use.

Recent Updates

Since the initial testing, Chaparral has introduced several notable updates to the 347 SSX. The upholstery has been upgraded to Tritone with diamond pattern stitching and custom embroidery. The helm has been redesigned to include two 9-inch multifunction displays angled toward the operator for improved visibility. Push-button switches are mounted on chrome bases along both sides of the helm. The new hardtop features a sunroof with blackout shades and dimming screens, a rear sound bar, and an extendable SureShade awning supported by stylized rear supports, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.

Conclusion

The Chaparral 347 SSX continues to evolve as a versatile and well-appointed cruiser that balances spacious accommodations with strong performance and thoughtful design. Its full beam cabin, extensive deck amenities, and powerful twin-engine setup make it suitable for both day outings and extended weekend trips. Recent enhancements further refine the helm experience and onboard comfort, solidifying its position as a popular and capable model within Chaparral's lineup.
