Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 vs Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is the larger boat — the Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 or the Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012?

The Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012 is the longer of the two at 26,3 feet overall. The Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 comes in at 21,0 feet, making it roughly 5,3 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 or the Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012?

For trailering, the Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012 has the edge at 58 lbs dry weight versus 365 lbs for the Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007. 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.

Q: Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?

The Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012 is rated to a maximum of 430 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 tops out at 320 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.

Q: How many passengers can the Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 carry?

The Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 has an official capacity rating of 12 people. Capacity data wasn't available for the other model in this comparison — verify directly with the dealer.

Both the Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 and Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012 share an 8 ft. 6 in. (2.59 m) beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.

Q: Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 or the Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012?

The Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 has the bigger tank at 56 gallons, versus 8 gallons on the Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012. That 48-gallon difference translates to roughly 144–240 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 and Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 and the Chaparral 264 Xtreme 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.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 vs Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 against a deep vee Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012 measures 26,3 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 5,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 at 21,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 tips the scales at 365 lbs — 307 lbs more than the Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012 at 58 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 430 hp, the Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012 has a 110-hp advantage over the Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007's 320-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 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 carries 56 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

The Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 is rated for up to 12 people. Passenger data for the Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012 wasn't available.

Bottom line: The Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2012 at 26,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Chaparral 220 SSi Sportboat 2007 at 21,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
