2023 Chaparral 247 SSX

Offered with just 25.7 engine hours, this 2023 Chaparral 247 SSX is a rare chance to step into one of the most admired luxury bowriders in her class. Finished in a striking navy and white hull with light-blue accents and ordered with an exceptional list of factory options, she combines the SSX series' signature styling with the kind of thoughtful specification that is seldom found on the pre-owned market.

Built on a 20-degree deadrise hull measuring 24' 6" overall with an 8' 6" beam, the 247 SSX offers generous seating and storage for up to 13 guests while remaining easy to tow, launch and store. With a dry weight of approximately 4,500 lb, a 60-gallon fuel capacity and a 20-inch drive-up draft, she is equally at home on a big lake or tucked into a shallow cove.

Power comes from a single MerCruiser 6.2L MPI 300 HP V8 with Bravo Three drive, a catalyst-equipped installation with a 2.20 gear ratio and Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) for smooth, precise control. The Bravo Three's counter-rotating stainless steel propellers deliver confident holeshot, sure-footed tracking and composed handling, and the engine compartment is notably clean, a clear reflection of the care this boat has received. At barely 26 hours, the engine has hardly been broken in.

Overhead, the EFX II electric folding tower, powder-coated in white, lowers at the touch of a switch for trailering, storage and low-clearance passages, then raises to provide welcome shade beneath its integrated blue bimini while carrying a pair of tower speakers. She has been upgraded with a JL Audio premium sound system featuring an 800-watt amplifier and a 10-inch subwoofer, controlled by Fusion head units with USB at the helm and in the cockpit, with speakers placed throughout the cockpit and bow so rich, full sound reaches every guest on board. A fitted cockpit and bow cover protects the interior whenever she is at rest.

The helm is a genuine highlight. Twin 7-inch Simrad glass dash displays bring navigation, engine data and vessel systems together ahead of a Gussi Italia steering wheel, with a tidy bank of switches for navigation/anchor, courtesy, dock and underwater lighting, along with horn, bilge, arch and accessory circuits. The captain enjoys a comfortable helm seat with a flip-up bolster, allowing a relaxed seated position or a raised stance for improved visibility when docking. A battery switch panel with breakers keeps the electrical system organized and accessible, and a dual battery charger keeps both batteries topped up and ready. Across the way, the port console offers a lockable, SS-badged glovebox for phones, keys and valuables.

Step aboard and the quality of the interior is immediately apparent. The Lunar Grey interior, finished with white and blue accents and elegant diamond stitching, is upholstered in Envision Marine silicone upholstery with SiO technology, a premium material prized for its durability, comfort and ease of maintenance. Stainless cupholders add a polished touch, and SeaDek Slate foam flooring throughout the cockpit is soft and cool underfoot, easy to care for and removable for cleaning. The flip-back SSX rear bench converts into a sun lounge, so guests can face forward while underway or stretch out facing the water at anchor. An in-floor ski locker keeps boards and skis neatly out of the way.

Forward, the walk-through windshield opens to a welcoming bow seating area, complete with a filler cushion that transforms the space into an expansive lounge. LED bow and courtesy lights add a refined glow after sunset, the anchor locker includes an anchor, and a set of fenders comes aboard for easy docking.

At the stern, the Infinity Power Step swim platform, dressed with a matching SeaDek mat, lowers to make boarding from the water effortless. The Premium Package adds a host of welcome conveniences, including docking lights, a bow scuff plate, a transom stereo remote and transom tilt switch, four fender holders and an air pump for inflatables and towables, making this 247 SSX as well suited to watersports and swimming as it is to evening cruises and sandbar afternoons.

She is delivered on a matching Boatmate tandem-axle trailer, built in November 2022, rated at 7,500 lb GVWR and fitted with brakes on one axle, 14-inch black alloy wheels, a swing-away tongue for tighter garage storage and guide-ons for straightforward loading and retrieval.

For boaters seeking a late-model, tower-equipped bowrider with low hours, premium audio and electronics, a refined interior and a ready-to-tow trailer, this Chaparral 247 SSX is a compelling opportunity that presents as close to new as one could hope to find. Located in Dandridge, Tennessee, on Douglas Lake. Showings by appointment.
