I had a customer that bought one of these boats because of his wife... then a month later SHE came in to trade it for a Nautique and took a huge loss.... They make all wakeboarding boats with a V-drive for a reason...
I love this video, Great boat, well rounded, can do it all, looks like a fun boat to spend the week at mead or powell, and looks like a good big water boat, when the wind picks up. I would like to see more boat builders to jump on this idea, the outdrive I like most, It's about time, good rough water performance, I own a 24' Eliminator Daytona, Outdrive of course, great Idea for a family ski boat..KEEP IT UP CHAPARRAL.
I would rather have and step onto the sun tanning pad then rather then not having one and entering a stupid gate, however I like the deck better then mastercrafts
Hi, I'm a semi-pro wakeboarder and Chaparral is letting me use a boat for the year so I'll say absolutely anything even though I'm lusting after a new Mastercraft or SAN. In fact I'm secretly trying to find a 8.1 Liter Wakeboard boat now, but I'm not sure I can deal with steering one since that old technology.
this isnt a wakeboat at all lol more like a runabout with a tower lol. i wouldnt surf behind a i/o ever cuz your just going to lose a leg lmao. the wake on this thing would come up to my shin lol. its a tiny wakeboard wake. and has anyone ever heared about these riders? most of them are nobodies, and even their acting and scriptreading is noticable.
save your money, get a real wakeboat if your looking at this haha
@wakeboarder124 the only rider there who is well known, is Bob Soven (phil soven's little brother) who, obviously recently made the switch to a super air nautique, a great inboard towboat. these boats are garbage, they need to trash on inboards just to try and state their case. i/o's are no good for watersports other than tubing and maybe skiing.
u guys are retarded, there is no worry with an direct drive for going in shallow water, the prop and the rudder only are about a foot deep, and I/Os suck anyways. and i dont think youre gunna get teh seat dirty, you might get it wet, but boat appolstry is like waterproof anyways
@mophead319 dude, I/Os are great, you dont have to worry about losing ur prop from a dune, and chances are I/Os offer better performance due to the drive chain, where as Inboard have a v-drive chain which can cut torque, and HP to the prop in half
well that shows how much you know about i/os and v drives lol
when on plane, a v drive has the same amount under the water as a i/o with its trim down, which is where you put the trim to wakeboard anyways. if your going to lose your prop on a i/o, you could lose your entire lower end. the max you can lose on the v drive is the prop and shaft, a easy replacment. a v-drive doesnt get even close to losing half, you pulled that stat out of your ass lol
why the fuck would you want that lol? I would much rather have a mastercraft,tige,malibu,centrion,ect......much better value.Plus you can all your body parts intact lol.
these boats are a joke. one guys got one on our lake has one and its kind of funny cause he actually buys into the what the salesman told him, that these are the best watersport/towboat on the market.... I have a calabria which is not top of the line by any means but its still better than this crap for surfin and boardin..... lol. but i got er weighted with 2600lbs of water so its ok ;)
This is a great boat for the recreational rider, as for wakesurfing, it is advertising such as this, that make sit bad for wakesurfing. No, you dont have to worry about inhaling fumes, you just have to worry about the propellers making chum out of you. Sovin must have gotten some real nice money for this, to hold a straight face through that is pretty funny.
thats an alright boat but i doubt it throws as nice a wake as a malibu and who puts there board on on the platform? Even with there "great design" its just asking to mess it up!! This boat is a fail if you ask me haha
"you dont have to worry about exhaust fumes when surfing" no you just have to worry about TWO props that arent even close to being under the boat, someones gonna buy this thinking its safe to surf behind and get chopped up.
theres like no wake WTF ARE U GUYS TALKING ABOUT lmao! u guys got like no air! "u need a firm wake no matter the size" coming from a true champion! fag..
Marketing is everything with a product like this. Unfortunatly Chaparral has created a cheesy couple of videos which will damage there reputation in core riders eyes. Someone who is going to drop this kind of money on a boat is not just looking for all the "best" features but wants a boat that is going to portray an image along with throw the best wake possible.
You will never see Mastercraft creating shitty vids like this because it would destroy there image.
i own this boat in ca.. yes it is dangerous to wakesurf behind this boat use ur common sence dummys.. most of u cant even afford this boat.. great family boat with alot of cool stuff on it.. always get thumbs up on the river and on the road!..been to lake paramid, lake mohave, lake havasu.. everyone like it..dont hate..you can keep all ur fatt sacs..
love to see it next to an X-Star. I think there would be a danger of death if you tried to wakesurf behind that. Also there is a small wake lump next to the main wakes on both sides if you look closely. Sorry nice try but no. PS I have an X-30.
truly a joke! wakesurfing behind this boat is dangerous and against the law in my state .i hope someone sues the shit out of you idiots you deserve it!
What boat do you guys own? That's right a chaperal which is the only reason your trying to back up this wannabe wakeboard boat. You guys are pathetic why don't you at least post your dealership info.
Damn aus and race just checked your profile and this is pretty much the only video you old ass salesman have watched. How about you guys fess up punks.
i am new to you tube but not to boating bro. i read your post about owning a sea swirl! bro you gotta be kidding! you have to be kidding?...a sea swirl OMG, ha,ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, (laughing my _ _ _ off!) tell me you don't have a tower on your swirl? ha, ha, ha, ha,
You must believe the scare tactic propaganda you hear from the inboard boat builders over the years. Chaparral has done a great job in creating a recreational watersports boat with better performance.The inboards for years have been saying stern drives will chop you up if you get near them...just go to any lake or boat show and you see the peg leg guys walking around....those are the guys that surfed the mighty stern drive!. They said the jet airplane was a bad idea too
