Chaparral 347 SSX Boats For Sale

The Chaparral 347 SSX is the largest model in the Chaparral SSX line, a bowrider-style boat that doubles as a cruiser thanks to a full beam cabin that sleeps two for a long weekend aboard. It carries a Stern Drive configuration, and shoppers looking at Chaparral SSX boats for sale will find load capacity limited mainly by seat count, with room for up to six adults in the bow alone. Owned examples on the used market are typically 2019 and 2020 hulls, several coming to market as trade-ins with low hours. Four people can face forward behind the windshield when running: two at the helm and two in the companion seat.

Performance figures come from twin Mercury 6.2-liter 350-horsepower DTS engines with Bravo 3 drives. At an estimated test weight of 12,725 pounds, the 347 SSX reached plane in 5.1 seconds, passed 20 mph in 6.1 seconds and 30 mph in 9.2 seconds. Top speed was 48.5 mph at 5,100 rpm, burning 26.6 gallons per hour for a range of 247 miles. Best cruise fell at 3,500 rpm and 23 mph, where fuel consumption dropped to 9.4 gallons per hour and range extended to 330 statute miles while holding a 10 percent reserve. The deep-V hull carries a 22-degree deadrise at the transom, with an extended V plane section aft that adds buoyancy in the stern for quicker planing and added stability.

The helm on the Chaparral boats 347 SSX uses a custom-molded fiberglass brow wrapped in hand-stitched vinyl, aluminum and stainless steel panels, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Later boats carry a redesigned dash with two 9-inch Simrad multifunction displays angled toward the operator, letting one screen show engine data while the other runs charts, plus push-button switches on chrome bases. Joystick control makes docking the 34-foot hull straightforward, and air conditioning at the helm is fitted on equipped boats. The operator seat adjusts fore and aft and both front seats have flip-up bolsters.

Cockpit seating is L-shaped and treated with a nano-block technology fabric for UV protection, with a removable table for entertaining and stainless steel articulating hinges on the seat bases for storage access. Many boats carry the optional wet bar in place of starboard seating, adding a solid-surface countertop, trash receptacle, stainless cup holders, sink, pressurized water and a dual-power refrigerator. A floor storage locker measures 69 inches long, 45 inches wide and 29 inches deep for water sports gear. At the transom, an electrically actuated aft seat converts into a sun pad at the push of a button, exposing a shelf with drink holders, and a freshwater shower sits to starboard alongside the swim ladder and underwater lights.

Below deck, the full beam cabin has wood veneer finishes on its bulkheads, doors and cabinets, with three screen-covered portholes for light. The aft berth extends out to form a double bed and folds back into an L-shaped couch, and options include a microwave and a 24-inch LED flat-screen TV. The ship's distribution panel switches between shore power and a 3-kilowatt generator, which runs the reverse-cycle air conditioner that makes this a three-season boat. A separate compartment serves as a wet head with a stainless steel sink, macerating-flush toilet, hard-surface countertop, frosted porthole and a powered vent.

Build details worth weighing include a hardtop with stainless speaker grilles, a forward hatch into the bow and, on updated boats, a sunroof with blackout shades, dimming screens, a rear sound bar and an extendable Sureshade awning. The engine compartment sits under the aft seat on an electric actuator, opening enough room for daily checks and fluid changes. An electric windlass with stainless anchor and tritone diamond-stitched upholstery appear on later hulls, so buyers comparing Chaparral SSX boats should confirm generator, air conditioning and wet bar fitment on any individual boat.
