Chaparral 23 SSi Boats For Sale

The Chaparral 23 SSi is a 23-foot bow rider built for new owners while carrying enough equipment to keep experienced boaters satisfied for years. The 2022 outboard measures 23 feet 6 inches with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a passenger capacity of 13. The 23 Chaparral boat comes in two configurations: an outboard version favored by coastal owners who want to flush the engine after running in salt water, and a sterndrive version that leaves a clean transom platform for swimming and beaching. Both share the U-shaped cockpit seating unique to the 23 SSi, which wraps around the cockpit and pairs with captain's chairs that spin aft to form a conversation pit at anchor.

Power and performance vary by version. The outboard 23-foot Chaparral boat tested with the largest recommended engine, a 250-horsepower 4.2-liter Yamaha V6, pushed the roughly 3,400-pound hull to a top speed of 50 miles per hour and planed quickly for a smooth ride. The sterndrive runs a 240-horsepower Volvo Penta with power steering and smooth throttle and shift. A Mercury 4.5-liter 250 is also offered, with a 200-horsepower option for buyers who want lower output. Every SSi uses an extended V planing hull that planes faster with minimal bow rise, improving fuel efficiency and water-sports manners.

The helm is finished in solid gray fiberglass (or matching sand if the sand interior is chosen) with a stitched brow over a center display. An optional 7-inch Garmin or Simrad touchscreen carries built-in charts, sonar, depth, GPS and engine data, flanked by analog gauges. The 23 SSi has a tilt steering wheel with a height-adjustable column and an optional leather upgrade, a soft armrest at the throttle, flip-up bolsters that let the driver stand or sit higher, and a glove box with USB power points on the passenger side.

The deck layout emphasizes access and storage. Boarding steps on both the port and starboard quarters lift up to form facing lounges, and the cushions prop up so you can walk through to the cockpit without stepping on upholstery. A four-step stainless steel boarding ladder folds out from a sea-deck-covered swim platform with a grab handle. An optional arch or wakeboard tower raises and lowers on an electric switch for low bridges and garage storage. Storage includes a vented floor ski locker with a gas shock, insulated coolers fore and aft with overboard drains, a bow anchor locker with keeper tabs, dry side compartments and a collapsible rear jump seat.

Forward, the spacious bow seating uses contoured backrests, wrap-around bolsters and Chaparral's custom vinyl in two or three colors with straight stitching, plus stainless steel grab rails, cup holders and backlit embossed speakers. A bow filler cushion and table convert the area into a sun lounge, and an oversized windshield with a self-latching bow door closes off a draft-free area. A Clarion Bluetooth stereo is standard. The 23 ft Chaparral boats for sale span the 2022 and 2023 model years in both outboard and sterndrive forms, with sport graphics, tower colors, sun packages and the navigation display among the options to weigh against price when buying.
