CHAPARRAL 260 SSI: REVIEW

Chaparral's 260 SSi provides instant escape in a well-stocked package.

With all the midcabin models on the market these days, its almost refreshing to see a traditional bow rider. Dont misunderstandwe think midcabins blend the best of the cuddy-cabin and open-bow worlds. But for warm-weather day-boating, its tough to beat a bow rider for pure fun and function. The Chaparral 260 SSi, reinforced that notion. The 256-long (279 with the add-on swim platform), 86-wide model offered all the comforts weve come to expect from a bow rider. It performed capably and was built to withstand the serious rigors ofgulpfamily boating.

Workmanship

Showing no signs of peeling or lifting, as can be the case with a brand-new production runabout, vinyl tape accents complemented the 260 SSis shiny two-tone gelcoat. Mold work was smooth, and the installation of the boats protective plastic rubrail with a stainless-steel insert was excellent. To build the boat, the manufacturer used a combination of AME 4000 resin, 36-ounce woven roving, layers of fiberglass mat from 1 to 3 ounces and Syntactic foam. To add brawn and flotation, the builder used balsa coring. Chaparral did a fine job with the boats draining anchor locker, which was on the nose aft of a nav light. The locker had a hinged lid with a latch to keep it open when desired, a gelcoated interior and a clip for an anchor. Notable hardware items included stainless-steel handrails and plastic grab handles, Accon Pull-Up cleats, a Taylor Made walk-through windshield and an add-on swim platform that extended from the boats integrated swim platform. The add-on platform added functionality to the boat. The engine hatch lifted on two gas struts, taking half the rear bench with it. Lag bolts driven into stringer blocks and the standard transom assembly were used to secure the motora standard installation procedure for production runabouts. Also up to production standards was the engine compartment wiring, which was protected in conduit and supported with tie-wrap-style cushion clamps.

Interior

The 260 SSi was, to put it simply, decked out. The manufacturer opted for a horseshoe lounge, with hinged cushions and stowage lockers (plus a draining cooler) underneath them, in the open bow. The bow area also boasted a tremendous in-sole locker. Pedestals and a table, which could be used to convert the cockpit into a dining area or a massive tanning bed, were stowed in a locker that was part of the drivers console to starboard. The port-side, co-pilots console contained the head locker, which was far from the average head unit in a stuffy fiberglass box. The 260 SSis locker boasted appointments that included a porcelain head, a complete headliner, a substantial latch assembly, padding and a screen porthole for ventilation Aft of the port console, the co-pilots swiveling bucket seat adjusted fore and aft, and had a flip-up bottom. The port gunwale was padded, and a grab handle was integrated ino the padding. The same comfortable bucket seat was provided for the driver to starboard. Woodgrain panels for the instruments, all in silver bezels, matched the vinyl-wrapped woodgrain tilt steering wheel. A touch-pad control was provided for the stereo system, rocker switches activated the accessories and a 12-volt receptacle was installed near the ignition switch. Aft of the co-pilots bucket was a molded entertainment center which included a pressurized freshwater sink and a cooler. Behind the drivers seat, the rear lounge was huge. We found stowage lockers under almost all its bottom cushions.

Overall

Comfort and function abound in the 260 SSi, which also happens to be a solid and predictable performer. Its everything a recreational bow rider is supposed to be.
