2000 Chaparral 235 SSi

This 2000 Chaparral 235 SSi Sport Cuddy is a 23-foot bowrider built on the brand's proven Extended V-Plane deep-V hull design. Power comes from a MerCruiser 7.4 fuel-injected big-block V8 paired with a Bravo III dual-prop sterndrive, delivering 310 horsepower with strong torque and smooth acceleration across the RPM range. The dual-prop setup improves docking control, reverse handling, and low-speed maneuverability while the hull design balances planing efficiency with a softer ride in rougher conditions.

The open cockpit centers on dual captain bucket seats and wraps around with generous seating for entertaining. Forward features include a tilt steering wheel, Garmin GPS chartplotter, premium instrumentation, freshwater sink, in-floor ski storage, and integrated cup holders. A rear sun lounge with integrated swim platform and stainless boarding ladder provides easy water access.

The fully enclosed cuddy cabin below deck converts into a sleeping area with wraparound cushioned seating, overhead skylight hatch, storage compartments, and cabin lighting—extending the boat's versatility for overnight stays or weather protection. The layout works equally well for day cruising, watersports, or sandbar anchoring.

The boat carries a black, white, and yellow graphics package, full snap-on cover, and bimini top. A tandem-axle trailer is included. Fuel capacity is approximately 65 gallons with seating for 10–12 persons.
