This 2014 Chaparral 226 SSi is the quintessential example of why Chaparral remains a leader in the bowrider market. Known for their "Wide Tech" bow design and salt-water tough construction, this particular 22-footer hits the "sweet spot" for families who want a boat large enough for big water but nimble enough for easy trailering and docking.

Vessel Overview

The 226 SSi is built on the legendary Extended V-Plane hull, which provides a quicker plane time and a remarkably stable ride even in choppy conditions. From the stainless steel hardware to the premium upholstery, every inch of this boat reflects Chaparral’s commitment to "DNA" quality.

Highlighted Features

The "Wide Tech" Bow

Unlike traditional pointed bows, the 226 SSi features a squared-off bow design. This significantly increases floor space and seating comfort up front without sacrificing the sleek profile or wave-cutting performance.

Cockpit & Interior

• Versatile Seating: Features twin swivel captain's chairs with flip-up bolsters and a spacious U-shaped aft lounge.
• Walk-Thru Transom: A dedicated path to the swim platform ensures you aren't stepping on upholstery to get in and out of the water.
• Snap-In Flooring: Easy to clean and comfortable underfoot—perfect for transitioning from a day of swimming to a sunset cruise.
• Enclosed Storage/Head: The passenger-side console opens to a deep storage area that can be equipped as a portable head—a rare and highly valued feature in a 22-foot boat.

Stern & Swim Platform

• Integrated Swim Platform: Sits low to the water for easy re-boarding.
• Aft Sunpad: The rear lounge converts into a large sunpad, featuring a propped-up "rumble seat" position for lounging while at anchor.

Performance & Handling

Powered typically by a Mercruiser or Volvo Penta sterndrive, the 226 SSi is engineered for watersports. Whether you are pulling a wakeboarder or cruising at 30 mph, the steering is responsive and the hull tracks true.

Broker’s Note: "The 226 SSi is highly sought after on the brokerage market because it holds its value exceptionally well. It’s the perfect 'step-up' boat for a family that has outgrown a 19-footer but doesn't want the maintenance overhead of a twin-engine cruiser."
