Owner Experience Review
Owners who run the 267 SSX BOWRIDERfromChaparraltend to treat it as a multi‑role bowrider for family day‑cruising, social beach stops, short cruises, and watersports. The roomy cockpit, plush bow seating, a large aft lounge, and the wide swim platform — highlighted by the Chaparral Infinity Power Step — make it easy to manage mixed‑crew days and tow sessions with the optional tower.
On the water, expert tests report it cuts smoothly through chop, with stable, confident turns thanks to the 22° transom deadrise and sterndrive setup. It jumps on plane quickly and, with higher‑horsepower sterndrives, can approach about 50 mph. At the helm, owners describe responsive power steering and throttle, while cautioning that Bravo‑III outdrives need attentive water‑intake care and general maintenance in salt or brackish conditions.
Comfort and tech stand out in later iterations, including a modern glass‑cockpit feel with a 12-inch Simrad display and integrated engine data. Some owners note mostly cosmetic wear over time — carpet backing separating and canvas snaps failing. Maintenance feedback often centers on Bravo‑III corrosion and water intrusion (bellows, gimbal bearings, driveshaft areas), occasional electrical gremlins like radio/head‑unit or battery/charging issues, and the reality that parts and labor for newer big‑block V8s and electronics can be costly. The upside is that expert testers still found ample room around the sterndrive installation to service filters, pumps, and related machinery.
