This 2002 Chaparral 196 SSi is a 19'6" fiberglass runabout powered by a Volvo Penta 5.0L V8 engine with 300 horsepower and an SX outdrive. The boat features an extended V-plane hull designed for stability and pulling power, making it well-suited for water sports including wakeboarding, kneeboarding, skiing, and tubing. The engine shows only 75.4 original hours.
The interior offers spacious seating with a bow section, captain's bucket seats, and generous storage throughout. A snap-in carpet covers the cabin sole. The extended swim platform with boarding ladder provides easy water access, and a Bimini top offers sun protection.
Equipment includes a depth finder, full instrumentation and gauges, custom-fitted boat cover, and a tandem-axle trailer. The upholstery is in very good condition, the engine compartment is clean, and the outdrive is in excellent condition—all consistent with the minimal engine hours and careful maintenance history.
