Chaparral 250 OSX Test Video 2023 by BoatTEST.com

The Chaparral 250 OSX’s mission is to be a day boat for an active family. She has versatile seating with convertible backrests and deep passenger areas thanks to her “raised beltline” design, which makes the boat safer and dryer. A private head can be optioned with an electric toilet, which the family will appreciate.

I can't help but remember what my late wife's "demand" was: " I don't care what kind of boat we get as long as it has a toilet".

[@BoatTEST]

We couldn't agree more! :)

He had a funny throw away line, "it's 8.5 wide so no towing permits required." Wish there were some vids on that topic.

[@THeSPARTEnMORTER21]

width, height, towing weight, tow vehicle capacity should all be considered, that would be a very good topic to cover.

Where’s captain Steve??

[@BoatTEST]

He's out testing. Videos in the editing they're coming out soon. As we have mentioned in earlier comments he took the summer off, so catching up on all our tests and editing. More soon!

Isn’t the planning speed a little bit high for a small boat like this ?

[@brimlikethefish]

Pretty pathetic designing on where the pump out is, cause if it leaks, it goes all over the seadek. 80 inches on the ‘ski locker’ and let’s put the ‘life jacket bag’ in there so it gets mildew. Then let’s talk about the optional tower that will take a $60k boat and make it an $80k boat. And can tell you right now the person touring a boat like this doesn’t care about your measurements. But the gray motor that only matches the seadek rather than a white motor to match half the boat was a good touch.
