Chaparral Boats SSX 276 2010 vs Chaparral SSX 287 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Chaparral Boats SSX 276 2010 vs Chaparral SSX 287 2011 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 430 hp for the Chaparral Boats SSX 276 2010 and 430 hp for the Chaparral SSX 287 2011. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 105 gal and 105 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
The Chaparral Boats SSX 276 2010 is rated for up to 8 people. Passenger data for the Chaparral SSX 287 2011 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Chaparral Boats SSX 276 2010 and Chaparral SSX 287 2011 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
