Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Chaparral 264 Sunesta WT 2013 vs Chaparral Boats 246 SSi 2019 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Chaparral 264 Sunesta WT 2013 vs Chaparral Boats 246 SSi 2019 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 380 hp, the Chaparral 264 Sunesta WT 2013 has a 80-hp advantage over the Chaparral Boats 246 SSi 2019'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 Boats 246 SSi 2019 carries 64 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Chaparral 264 Sunesta WT 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Chaparral 264 Sunesta WT 2013 and its 380-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Chaparral Boats 246 SSi 2019 with its 300-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
