2026 Chaparral SSX 8 

2026 Chaparral SSX 8

BREAKING THE MOLD
What sets the SSX 8 apart from the competition is the perfect balance of design and performance that Chaparral has achieved with this boat. With a responsive throttle and extended V-Plane hull, the SSX 8 glides effortlessly across the water while relaxing on premium silicone upholstery. With a furnished head, built-in coolers, and the patented Infinity Power Step, a day of boating becomes hassle-free.

Marine Silicone upholstery
Powered By Sio Technology™
All 2026 models now feature upholstery material made from 100% SiO Silicone making it virtually maintenance free.

So what exactly is SiO Silicone? SiO is a very pure form of silicone which, unlike conventional marine seating, is free of chemical additives. SiO’s angular resin technology offers enhanced durability, robust scuffing and scratch resistance, and the softest and most comfortable marine seating surface available today.

FOR PEACE OF MIND ON AND OFF THE WATER
All 2026 Chaparral models come with a Lifetime Limited Hull Warranty and 5-Year Premium Level limited component warranty - standard.
