Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Chaparral SSX 267 2011 vs Chaparral SSX 276 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Chaparral SSX 267 2011 against a deep vee Chaparral SSX 276 2009 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Chaparral SSX 267 2011 at 26,4 ft versus Chaparral SSX 276 2009 at 28,0 ft. At 53 lbs and 68 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 425 hp, the Chaparral SSX 276 2009 has a 45-hp advantage over the Chaparral SSX 267 2011's 380-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 SSX 276 2009 carries 105 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Chaparral SSX 267 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
The Chaparral SSX 267 2011 is rated for up to 12 people. Passenger data for the Chaparral SSX 276 2009 wasn't available.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Chaparral SSX 276 2009 and its 425-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Chaparral SSX 267 2011 with its 380-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
