2026 Chaparral SSX 8

The 2026 Chaparral SSX 8 is a 28-foot fiberglass bowrider powered by a Mercury 8.2L DTS engine rated at 380 hp. Built for family recreation and performance, the boat combines spacious layout with premium appointments across its cabin and helm.

Accommodations include generous bow and stern seating areas suited to a full complement of passengers. The helm features a stainless steel dash with carbon fiber instrument panel, dual-function Simrad NSS 12-inch navigation display, and ambient LED lighting throughout. An electrically operated folding hardtop provides weather protection and bridge clearance when needed.

The Infinity Power Step swim platform uses hydraulic actuation to extend a two-stage entry system, with the lower step reaching underwater for straightforward water access. Additional features include a single head and premium upholstery throughout. The 8.5-foot beam supports the open layout while maintaining a practical footprint for everyday use and storage.
