2006 Chaparral 256 SSi

The 2006 Chaparral 256 SSi is a 26-foot fiberglass runabout powered by a single MerCruiser engine producing 375 horsepower. Built with a beam of 8.5 feet, it combines open-water performance with thoughtful cockpit design. The helm features a mahogany adjustable steering wheel and woodgrain instrument panels with tilt steering, while controls and switches are positioned for intuitive access.

The cockpit centers on a U-shaped aft bench that converts from dining seating with a removable table to a sun lounge with filler cushions. The bow includes walk-through access with additional cushioning and storage for water sports gear. A dedicated ski locker provides organized storage for equipment, and a ski tow hook and swim platform are fitted for active use.

Onboard amenities include a single enclosed head with Vacuflush and pump-out system, plus a cockpit freshwater sink. Boarding is eased by telescoping bow and transom ladders. A dual-battery system with cross-over switch supplies reliable power, and both cockpit and bow covers offer weather protection. The deck is finished in black and red sea deck. A transom shower rounds out the water-ready feature set.
