Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004 vs Chaparral 267 SSX 2012 — Which Modified Vee Fits Your Needs?

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004 and the Chaparral 267 SSX 2012 are modified vee designs with composite construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 400 hp, the Chaparral 267 SSX 2012 has a 100-hp advantage over the Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004's 300-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004 carries 47 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Chaparral 267 SSX 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

The Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004 is rated for up to 1 people. Passenger data for the Chaparral 267 SSX 2012 wasn't available.

Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Chaparral 267 SSX 2012 and its 400-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004 with its 300-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004 vs Chaparral 267 SSX 2012 — Common Questions

Which is easier to trailer — the Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004 or the Chaparral 267 SSX 2012?
For trailering, the Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004 has the edge at 32 lbs dry weight versus 53 lbs for the Chaparral 267 SSX 2012. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Chaparral 267 SSX 2012 is rated to a maximum of 400 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004 tops out at 300 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many passengers can the Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004 carry?
The Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004 has an official capacity rating of 1 people. Capacity data wasn't available for the other model in this comparison — verify directly with the dealer.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Chaparral 267 SSX 2012 measures 102" wide, compared to 99" for the Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004 or the Chaparral 267 SSX 2012?
The Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004 has the bigger tank at 47 gallons, versus 8 gallons on the Chaparral 267 SSX 2012. That 39-gallon difference translates to roughly 117–195 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004 and Chaparral 267 SSX 2012 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Chaparral 210 SSi Sportsman 2004 and the Chaparral 267 SSX 2012 are built by Chaparral. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
