Completely Serviced & Ready to Rip — 2007 Chaparral 276 SSX | Benton, AR
Here is a big, fast, fully refreshed bowrider that is ready for the water today. The seller reports this 7,000-lb boat will run 55 mph with a full load of passengers — a testament to the 425-hp Volvo Penta 8.1 big-block sterndrive driving dual counter-rotating stainless props. At nearly 29 feet with a 9-foot beam, the 276 SSX delivers the space and stability of a cruiser with the open-air fun of a premium sport boat.
Recent mechanical work gives a buyer real confidence: the lower unit and dual counter-rotating stainless props were replaced last season, and the boat has been completely serviced and is described as ready for the water. The hour meter reads 502 hours but was replaced at 280 hours in 2018 — actual accumulated hours are higher, which is reflected in the competitive asking price.
The entertainment and comfort upgrades are equally impressive. A $12,000 Wetsounds sound system (2 years old) with Bluetooth capability anchors the audio experience, and new lifetime Sea Dek-style flooring was installed this year. Dual power trim tabs help manage balance and get this heavy boat on plane quickly. The rear seatback folds flat to create a sun deck, and the Captain's Call exhaust adds an aggressive note when you want it. A triaxle trailer is included.
KEY FEATURES:
- $12,000 Wetsounds Sound System with Bluetooth — Wetsounds is a marine audio brand known for high-output, weather-resistant speakers purpose-built for open-air boating environments. At this price point, a premium audio upgrade of this caliber is a significant value-add that would cost thousands to replicate.
-
- New Lifetime Sea Dek-Style Flooring — Non-skid foam flooring is one of the most popular and practical upgrades on any sport boat, providing cushioning underfoot, superior grip when wet, and a clean, modern aesthetic. A fresh install means years of use before any maintenance is needed.
-
- Dual Power Trim Tabs — Power trim tabs allow the driver to fine-tune running attitude on the fly, compensating for passenger weight distribution and sea conditions. On a 7,000-lb boat like the 276 SSX, they are especially valuable for achieving a quick, level plane and a comfortable cruise.
