2006 Chaparral 256 SSi

The 2006 Chaparral 256 SSi remains one of the most respected and versatile bowriders in its class, combining performance, comfort, and timeless styling in a 26-foot package that’s ideal for day boating, watersports, and family cruising. Built with Chaparral’s reputation for quality and attention to detail, this pre-owned vessel offers exceptional value for boaters looking for a well-rounded platform with a proven track record on the water.

Measuring 26 feet in length overall with an 8’6” beam, the 256 SSi features a deep-V fiberglass hull designed for confident handling and a smooth, dry ride across a variety of conditions. The hull design provides stability and predictable performance, making it well-suited for lakes, rivers, and coastal cruising. Chaparral’s construction standards ensure durability and longevity, even years after original delivery.

This setup makes the 256 SSi an excellent choice for watersports such as tubing, skiing, or wakeboarding, while still offering comfortable cruising speeds. With an approximate 80-gallon fuel capacity, this boat allows for extended days on the water with fewer fuel stops.

The cockpit layout is spacious and designed with comfort in mind. Wraparound seating aft provides ample room for guests, while the bow features forward lounges that can easily convert into sun pads for relaxing at anchor. A removable cockpit table adds versatility for dining or entertaining, and a Bimini top offers shade when needed. Storage is plentiful throughout the boat, keeping gear neatly stowed and out of the way.

A notable feature of the Chaparral 256 SSi is its enclosed head compartment, providing privacy and convenience for longer outings — a feature not always found in boats of this size. The helm is well laid out with clear instrumentation, supportive seating, and intuitive controls for an enjoyable driving experience.

Overall, the 2006 Chaparral 256 SSi delivers a balanced blend of performance, comfort, and thoughtful amenities. As a pre-owned option, it represents a smart investment for boaters seeking a proven, stylish bowrider capable of handling both active watersports and relaxed cruising with family and friends.
