1994 Chaparral Sunesta 220 — The Versatile Family Deck Boat at an Accessible Price Point
Here is a classic Chaparral Sunesta 220 offering the best of both worlds: the open, spacious layout of a pontoon combined with the performance and sleek fiberglass hull of a traditional bowrider. Located in Nixa, MO, this 22-foot deck boat is priced at $12,900 and is being sold directly by the owner — no dealer markup.
Powered by a Mer Cruiser 5.0L inboard producing 220 HP, this boat is equally at home pulling water skiers and tubers as it is hosting a relaxed afternoon at the sandbar. With seating for up to 14 passengers, there is room for the whole crew.
Chaparral built the Sunesta line on a fiberglass hull with their " Extended V-Plane" design, which provides a stable, confident ride across a range of water conditions — from glassy lakes to moderate chop. As a deck boat, the Sunesta 220 sits in a sweet spot in the market: it delivers the open deck space families love about pontoons while retaining the sporty handling and trailerable profile of a fiberglass runabout.
KEY FEATURES:
- Extended V-Plane Fiberglass Hull — The evidence-supported " Extended V-Plane" hull design gives this deck boat a more planted, stable ride than a flat-bottomed pontoon. Fiberglass construction also means better durability and resale longevity compared to aluminum alternatives.
-
- 14-Person Seating Capacity — Rare for a 22-foot boat, this generous capacity makes the Sunesta 220 a true family and entertaining platform. Deck boats in this size range are known for maximizing usable deck space, making every outing feel social and comfortable.
-
- Mer Cruiser 5.0L Inboard, 220 HP — The Mer Cruiser 5.0L is a proven, widely-serviced inboard powerplant. Parts availability and mechanic familiarity with this engine make ownership straightforward, and 220 HP provides ample power for watersports and spirited cruising on a 22-foot hull.
