POWER PICKS

Check it out: the 276 SSX

Sport Deck. The name itself

is alluring, and tells you right

away this boat is a departure from

status quo.

By pulling the helm

further forward, Chapar-

ral’s engineers gave up

some of the extra bow

space normally found

on huge deck boats. The

bow is still shaped like a

capital U, and the sloped

back rests give it lounge

appeal, but they enlarged the cockpit

— the place where most boaters hang

out. Behind the driver is a genuine

aft cockpit, with enough wraparound

seating for seven. On the port side is a

galley that neatly transitions from the

back of the passenger seat to the com-

panionway. Under the console on that

side is one of the nicest heads we’ve

seen on a deck boat — with a solid-

surface countertop and, yes, teak and

holly f looring for easy

cleanups.

Creative as the en-

tire layout is, it’s the

sun deck that will

garner most attention.

The fold-down stern

seat converts the pad

into a tanning island

that leads to a large swim platform.

It accentuates the fast-looking lines.

From previous experience with

Chaparral boats, we know the 276

SSX has the muscle to back up the

appearance, and the name.

Under the sun deck is a big storage trunk across the transom.
