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.

Chaparral SSX 267 2011 vs Chaparral SSX 276 2009 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Chaparral SSX 267 2011 or the Chaparral SSX 276 2009?
The Chaparral SSX 276 2009 is the longer of the two at 28,0 feet overall. The Chaparral SSX 267 2011 comes in at 26,4 feet, making it roughly 1,6 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Chaparral SSX 267 2011 or the Chaparral SSX 276 2009?
For trailering, the Chaparral SSX 267 2011 has the edge at 53 lbs dry weight versus 68 lbs for the Chaparral SSX 276 2009. 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 SSX 276 2009 is rated to a maximum of 425 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Chaparral SSX 267 2011 tops out at 380 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 SSX 267 2011 carry?
The Chaparral SSX 267 2011 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.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Chaparral SSX 276 2009 measures 108" wide, compared to 102" for the Chaparral SSX 267 2011. 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.

The Chaparral SSX 276 2009 has the bigger tank at 105 gallons, versus 8 gallons on the Chaparral SSX 267 2011. That 97-gallon difference translates to roughly 291–485 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Yes — both the Chaparral SSX 267 2011 and the Chaparral SSX 276 2009 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.
