Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2013 vs Chaparral Boats 235 SSi 2002 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2013 vs Chaparral Boats 235 SSi 2002 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 430 hp, the Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2013 has a 210-hp advantage over the Chaparral Boats 235 SSi 2002's 220-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 8 gal and 6 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Bottom line: The Chaparral 264 Xtreme 2013 at 26,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Chaparral Boats 235 SSi 2002 at 23,0 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.
