I have the 2009 model and its amazing. Plenty of power with the Volvo 8.1 and can hit 60mph. Had 15 people on board and had enough room for everyone with no problems getting it up on plain. The head is convenient and there is plenty of storage space for everything you need for a day out on the water. The Quick and Quite hull exhaust is also a great feature and includes captains choice to have it on or off. Can't say enough about the boat, as usual you get nothing but the best from Chaparral!

I purchased a used 2006 model in 2007 (it was traded up for a cabin model). It is an awesome boat! Very comfortable ride, even in a rough chop. Great for entertaining - comfortably holds 8-10 people. The wife likes it because of the enclosed head, transom shower and the outside sink/storage area. Good for skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, swimming or just cruising. I would definitely buy it again.Gary
