Chaparral introduces its first outboard series in 25 years—the Suncoast deck boat range.
Available in four new models from 21 to 25 feet, Suncoast offers a huge volume platform for passengers and storage, with toilets on all models, massive wrap around swim platforms that maximise the outboard concept, and in the case of the 210 an optional ski/fish package, with convertible seating, live bait tank, trolling motor, rod storage and other neat fishing features.
With the trend towards outboard-powered boats growing worldwide and the success of Chaparral’s massive R & D program, we are told that these new Suncoast models are only the tip of the Chaparral iceberg. Scott O’Hare, from Chaparral Australia, says, “We believe that more of the existing inboard range will be offered with outboards, including our entry level bow riders, and expect we will see some announcements before the end of the year.”
“The Suncoast range offers all of the same saltwater-tough DNA as the rest of the Chaparral fleet, with high freeboard, self draining decks, 316-grade stainless steel hull, and deck fittings and loom-wrapped tinned wiring just to mention a few, along with the highest quality gel coats, resins and upholstery materials. The construction is one thing, but the design is another, with hulls designed to offer a soft, dry ride, even in rougher conditions. We reckon the Suncoast will be a great option for Gold Coast boaties looking for a fuel-efficient low-maintenance boat to live on the water,” says O’Hare.
