Hi, I am Randy Vance.

1
00:00:22.165 --> 00:00:23.625
I'm on Lake Lanier today testing

2
00:00:24.255 --> 00:00:27.305
Chaparral's brand new SSX 267.

3
00:00:27.895 --> 00:00:31.665
This is a completely retooled big bow rider

4
00:00:31.925 --> 00:00:33.425
that's got a nice running surface

5
00:00:33.805 --> 00:00:35.665
and a beautiful cockpit that's designed

6
00:00:35.665 --> 00:00:37.945
to give your passengers plenty of comfort.

7
00:00:38.855 --> 00:00:40.745
Perhaps the most dramatic part

8
00:00:40.745 --> 00:00:44.185
of this retooling though is right here at the helm station.

9
00:00:44.565 --> 00:00:46.425
You've got a contoured vinyl brow

10
00:00:46.455 --> 00:00:47.505
over the dashboard.

11
00:00:47.725 --> 00:00:50.105
You've actually got a leather wrapped wheel

12
00:00:50.215 --> 00:00:51.585
with three spokes.

13
00:00:52.045 --> 00:00:54.465
The dashboard though, is what I think is so cool.

14
00:00:54.725 --> 00:00:59.145
You've got a standard Simrad NSS Evo3 S display.

15
00:00:59.215 --> 00:01:03.425
It's a 12 inch. It gives you not only all the engine

16
00:01:03.425 --> 00:01:06.745
information, but you have navigation, audio control,

17
00:01:07.165 --> 00:01:09.905
and you have sonar right in that system.

18
00:01:10.045 --> 00:01:11.665
You've got buttons on either side

19
00:01:11.665 --> 00:01:14.745
to control the most important functions right away.

20
00:01:15.215 --> 00:01:17.585
Trim tab controls right over here,

21
00:01:18.685 --> 00:01:19.985
and this is equipped

22
00:01:19.985 --> 00:01:23.265
with an upgraded JL audio system complete

23
00:01:23.265 --> 00:01:24.385
with tower speakers.

24
00:01:25.085 --> 00:01:28.745
One of my favorite features on this boat are the captain's

25
00:01:28.745 --> 00:01:30.425
chairs for the captain and the passenger.

26
00:01:30.815 --> 00:01:32.545
Most chairs you have to get down on your hands

27
00:01:32.545 --> 00:01:35.785
and knees to find the controls to slide the seats for

28
00:01:35.785 --> 00:01:37.025
and aft, not here.

29
00:01:37.295 --> 00:01:39.065
They're right here by your hip.

30
00:01:39.405 --> 00:01:42.145
Here's the slide control for sliding fore and aft,

31
00:01:42.405 --> 00:01:45.025
and on the right side at your right hip is the control

32
00:01:45.045 --> 00:01:46.665
for rotating the seat as well.

33
00:01:47.125 --> 00:01:48.385
You'll notice both consoles

34
00:01:48.475 --> 00:01:51.225
are trimmed with carbon fiber panels.

35
00:01:51.285 --> 00:01:52.945
That's a great performance look

36
00:01:53.245 --> 00:01:55.105
and adds to the excitement in this boat.

37
00:01:55.925 --> 00:01:57.945
And when you open the passenger console,

38
00:01:58.165 --> 00:01:59.545
it reveals a head compartment

39
00:01:59.565 --> 00:02:02.905
that's got a China flushing toilet, a stainless steel sink,

40
00:02:02.925 --> 00:02:04.185
and a pullout shower head.

41
00:02:05.325 --> 00:02:08.105
Now, one of the best spots on this boat is this L-shaped

42
00:02:08.125 --> 00:02:09.265
lounge right here.

43
00:02:09.765 --> 00:02:11.825
You've gotta walk through to the transom

44
00:02:11.825 --> 00:02:13.145
and a huge platform,

45
00:02:13.145 --> 00:02:16.065
and that's thanks to the stern drive motor.

46
00:02:16.655 --> 00:02:19.185
Once you get back to the transom platform,

47
00:02:19.685 --> 00:02:21.825
you've got their Infinity Power Step

48
00:02:22.375 --> 00:02:25.265
that drops into the water at the touch of a button

49
00:02:25.565 --> 00:02:27.785
and gives you a 12 inch deep seat

50
00:02:27.935 --> 00:02:30.145
with the platform as your table.

51
00:02:30.885 --> 00:02:32.985
Now there's one other great feature back here,

52
00:02:33.445 --> 00:02:35.985
and it's built into this L-shaped lounge.

53
00:02:36.565 --> 00:02:39.785
The seat back split, one goes forward, one goes aft,

54
00:02:40.005 --> 00:02:43.145
and it opens up an enormous sun pad that'll hold three

55
00:02:43.145 --> 00:02:46.305
to four people. To help keep the deck organized,

56
00:02:46.305 --> 00:02:48.745
there's storage under the left section of the seat.

57
00:02:48.775 --> 00:02:51.025
There's a jump seat behind the captain's chair,

58
00:02:51.025 --> 00:02:52.945
and underneath that is an insulated cooler.

59
00:02:54.045 --> 00:02:56.545
In the center floor, there's a large hatch

60
00:02:56.545 --> 00:02:58.705
that gives you access to a storage compartment

61
00:02:58.705 --> 00:03:00.700
that's large enough for all your gear.

62
00:03:01.665 --> 00:03:04.445
Now the wakeboard tower is cool enough in its own right,

63
00:03:04.445 --> 00:03:07.005
especially with those optional tower speakers,

64
00:03:07.585 --> 00:03:09.205
but another cool feature is

65
00:03:09.205 --> 00:03:11.405
that it operates on an electric button.

66
00:03:11.755 --> 00:03:14.085
When you lower it, it changes your bridge clearance from

67
00:03:14.085 --> 00:03:17.285
8 foot 5 inches to 6 foot 1 inch.

68
00:03:18.325 --> 00:03:19.365
I love the bow area.

69
00:03:19.365 --> 00:03:21.525
They've redesigned it and made it even deeper.

70
00:03:21.555 --> 00:03:26.125
They've added a 60 inch safety rail on either side.

71
00:03:26.465 --> 00:03:29.205
You've got lumbar support in the seat backs,

72
00:03:29.545 --> 00:03:31.725
and you've got fold down armrests.

73
00:03:32.115 --> 00:03:35.365
Both of these seats lift up giving you access

74
00:03:35.365 --> 00:03:37.725
to enormous dry storage compartments.

75
00:03:38.475 --> 00:03:40.805
This center seat cushion lifts up as well,

76
00:03:40.865 --> 00:03:42.485
and there's a cooler underneath it.

77
00:03:43.305 --> 00:03:44.885
Now it's really easy to overlook a lot

78
00:03:44.885 --> 00:03:47.125
of the tech stuff on board, like the power arch

79
00:03:47.125 --> 00:03:50.125
and the Infinity Power Step on the transom.

80
00:03:50.545 --> 00:03:52.405
But Chaparral has equipped this boat

81
00:03:52.755 --> 00:03:55.645
with five smartphone charging stations.

82
00:03:56.905 --> 00:03:59.405
In spite of that enormous engine block back there,

83
00:03:59.405 --> 00:04:01.725
there's plenty of room to service it, as well

84
00:04:01.725 --> 00:04:04.765
as all the pumps and other features down below.

85
00:04:05.755 --> 00:04:08.005
Just as a backup camera helps you with your vehicle,

86
00:04:08.505 --> 00:04:11.245
the backup camera on our 267 made it easy

87
00:04:11.245 --> 00:04:12.285
to back into the slip.

88
00:04:13.635 --> 00:04:16.525
Chaparral has put together an outstanding package.

89
00:04:16.945 --> 00:04:19.965
Its style is accented by carbon fiber dash,

90
00:04:20.485 --> 00:04:23.365
a leather wrapped wheel, silicone vinyl

91
00:04:23.465 --> 00:04:26.085
and triple stitching diamond finish.

92
00:04:26.635 --> 00:04:27.925
It's mildew resistant.

93
00:04:27.975 --> 00:04:30.885
We've added a seadek floor mat optionally,

94
00:04:31.705 --> 00:04:33.925
and you've got Mercury's V8 power.

95
00:04:34.315 --> 00:04:35.645
What more could you ask for?

96
00:04:36.275 --> 00:04:39.245
Well, maybe a radar arch with a tow point on it

97
00:04:39.245 --> 00:04:40.485
and tower speakers.

98
00:04:40.985 --> 00:04:44.565
I'm Randy Vance on the Chaparral SSX 267.
