Our Thoughts

This 2023 Chaparral 347 SSX represents a rare ownership opportunity—a single-owner, freshwater-only Lake Champlain bowrider with just 70 original hours and a comprehensive factory option package that elevates it well beyond typical spec. Powered by twin Volvo Penta V8 2.0L EVC Catalyst engines producing 380 horsepower each with joystick docking control, the 347 SSX delivers confident handling and intuitive maneuvering in tight quarters while maintaining the performance and fuel efficiency expected from modern catalyst-equipped powerplants. At 33.5 feet in length with a 10-foot beam, the hull employs Chaparral's extended V-plane design with Kevlar-reinforced laminate and premium Hydropel resin for durability and longevity.

The defining characteristic of the 347 SSX is its full-beam enclosed cabin—a unified interior space that maximizes overnight accommodations and social functionality without the compromises typical of split-cabin designs at this length. The cabin features an L-shaped convertible berth, enclosed head with shower, galley with stainless steel microwave and solid-surface countertops, 24-inch LED flat screen with DVD player, opening portlights with screens, cedar-lined hanging locker, and climate control via air conditioning and heating with dedicated cockpit air vent. Cabin lighting, color-coordinated fabrics with Scotchgard protection, and refined solid-surface finishes create a comfortable retreat for extended weekends.

The cockpit showcases Chaparral's premium day-boating design philosophy. A spacious bow area includes hinged cushioned seating with storage, insulated ice chest, and a fiberglass storage tub. The cockpit features a convertible aft sun lounge, port U-shaped lounge seating with storage, starboard jump seat with under-seat storage, and a teak-inlay cockpit table with dedicated storage. Fifteen stainless steel drink holders, six water-resistant speakers with blue LED lighting, premium silicone-resistant fabric, and a premium stereo system with Sirius satellite tuner, Bluetooth, and 8-channel amplification support both entertaining and extended cruising. A retractable SureShade system and retractable sunroof with opening capability provide flexible shade and ventilation. Premium SeaDek flooring in Terra colorway, teak swim platform mat, and a four-step hideaway stainless steel swim platform ladder complete the outdoor experience.

Navigation and helm systems reflect current marine electronics standards. Twin Simrad NSS9 EVO3 nine-inch color multi-touch chartplotter/multifunction displays provide chartplotting, GPS, WiFi connectivity, Insight Charts (inland and coastal), SS60 transducer data, and engine data integration. The helm features a custom hand-wrapped leather steering wheel with protective cover, power-assisted steering with tilt adjustment, aluminum and stainless steel dash panels, custom hand-stitched upholstery, and electronic push-button switches with water-resistant breakers in a custom enclosure. Two-speed windshield wipers and fog-resistant glass lenses with brushed aluminum faces and stainless steel bezels round out the command station.

2023 Chaparral 347 SSX: Premium Bowrider with Full-Beam Cabin and Twin Volvo Power
Overview
The 2023 Chaparral 347 SSX represents a distinctive approach to mid-size recreational boating, merging the social appeal of a spacious bowrider with the overnight capability of a full-beam enclosed cabin—a combination rarely achieved in the 33-foot class. This single-owner, freshwater-only example has logged merely 70 hours and remains dealer maintained, offering buyers the performance and condition of a nearly new vessel at a significant value advantage. Powered by twin Volvo Penta V8 2.0L EVC 380 HP Catalyst engines equipped with joystick docking, the 347 SSX delivers responsive helm control and straightforward boat handling. The black hull-side gelcoat and premium dune interior create a refined aesthetic that reads both elegant at the dock and purposeful underway. With a 10-foot beam and 150-gallon fuel capacity distributed across two aluminum tanks, this bowrider is engineered for extended day cruising and weekend getaways on lakes and coastal waterways. The Chaparral 347 SSX stands apart from split-beam competitors by dedicating the full 10-foot beam to a unified cabin space, eliminating the compromise typical of boats that attempt to partition cabin and cockpit functions. This design philosophy allows the boat to function simultaneously as a high-capacity day entertainer and a comfortable overnight platform—a versatility that appeals to boaters seeking flexibility without sacrificing comfort in either role.
Layout and Deck Design
The cockpit layout prioritizes social seating and entertainment across multiple zones. The bow features a hinged cushioned seating area with integrated storage underneath, creating a forward-facing social space ideal for cruising or anchored relaxation. The port side incorporates a U-shaped aft lounge with dedicated storage, while the starboard side features a fixed double helm seat with exclusive seat levers for forward and aft adjustment. A starboard jump seat with storage below provides additional seating capacity during entertaining. Central to the cockpit experience is the teak inlay cocktail table with dedicated storage and side-mount bases, positioned to anchor the social layout. The wet bar adds functional entertainment appeal, while 15 stainless steel drink holders distributed throughout the cockpit accommodate beverages for guests. Premium snap-in SeaDek cockpit flooring in Terra finish provides superior grip and comfort underfoot while protecting the underlying fiberglass. Shade and weather protection come through multiple systems. The retractable sunroof opens the hardtop to sky views during fair weather, while the SureShade retractable canvas system deploys to block sun and light rain without requiring the hardtop to close. The wrap-around stainless steel windshield with custom supports protects the helm and forward seating from wind and spray. A cockpit cover with hardtop and Lexan connector with storage bag completes the weather management suite. The swim platform extends the entertainment footprint, featuring a four-step hideaway stainless steel ladder, integral design, and a choice of teak or silver finish mat. A transom shower provides rinse-down capability, while the recessed transom door and integrated platform create safe, accessible water entry and exit.
Helm and Electronics
The helm integrates two Simrad NSS9 EVO3 multifunction displays, each featuring a 9-inch color touchscreen with integrated chartplotter, GPS, WiFi connectivity, Insight Charts (inland and coastal), SS60 transducer, and live engine data. This dual-display architecture provides redundancy and allows customization of chart views, sonar information, and system monitoring across the helm station. The helm console itself reflects premium construction: custom hand-wrapped aluminum and stainless dash panels, hand-stitched upholstery, a custom leather steering wheel with protective cover, and a custom hand-wrapped helm console with protective cover. Power-assisted steering with tilt wheel adjustment accommodates various operator preferences and comfort positions. All electrical connectors feature triple O-ring sealing and watertight design, while brushed aluminum instrument faces and stainless steel bezels project durability and refinement. Joystick docking control—integrated into the twin Volvo Penta EVC engine package—fundamentally changes how the 347 SSX handles at low speeds. Rather than traditional separate throttle and shifter controls, the joystick allows intuitive single-lever operation, with the engines automatically coordinating thrust and direction. This technology simplifies docking, tight maneuvering, and holding position in current or wind, making the 347 SSX accessible to operators of varying experience levels. Additional helm features include stainless LED electronic push-button switches, instrument dimmer switches, loom-wrapped wiring for corrosion resistance, and water-resistant breakers housed in a custom enclosure at the dash. A two-speed windshield wiper and custom visor complete the functional helm environment.
Cabin and Interior
The defining feature of the 347 SSX is its full-beam cabin—a patented design that dedicates the boat's entire 10-foot beam to a unified interior space. This approach contrasts sharply with split-beam competitors, where the cabin occupies only partial beam and forces compromises in headroom, furnishings, or functionality. The cabin accommodates overnight stays for two through an L-shaped couch that converts to a full berth. Fiberglass floor and ceiling liners provide durability and easy maintenance, while color-coordinated fabrics treated with Scotchgard protectant resist staining. Three opening cabin portlights with screens provide natural ventilation and light, while 12-volt overhead and indirect LED lighting enables comfortable evening use. A carbon monoxide detector ensures safe operation of the onboard generator and heating systems. Storage is distributed throughout the cabin. A cedar-lined hanging locker with light accommodates hanging garments, while gunnel storage cabinets and a main distribution electrical panel occupy the perimeter. A 24-inch LED HD flat-screen television with remote and DVD player, hardtop antenna, and dockside TV coax connection (compatible with 120V 60-cycle or 220V 50-cycle power) provides entertainment options. The galley features a stainless steel microwave, color-coordinated solid surface countertop with dedicated base cabinet storage, GFCi 110-volt receptacle for safe appliance operation, and a trash receptacle. The galley integrates seamlessly into the cabin layout rather than occupying a separate compartment, reinforcing the unified interior design. The enclosed head and shower compartment features a vacuflush system with holding tank and level indicator, a china bowl, a vanity cabinet with solid surface countertop, a stainless steel sink with pull-out shower wand, a shower curtain door, 12-volt lighting, a mirrored upper storage cabinet, a power vent for humidity control, a stainless steel handrail, an opening portlight with screen, and wood flooring that adds warmth to the functional space. Air conditioning and heating with a cockpit air vent maintains comfortable cabin temperatures during summer heat and spring or fall cool periods. A water heater with heat exchanger provides hot water for galley and head use. The stainless steel AC/DC refrigerator preserves provisions for extended cruising, while the wet bar in the cockpit extends entertaining functionality into the social areas.
Power and Performance
Twin Volvo Penta V8 2.0L EVC 380 HP Catalyst engines provide the propulsion foundation. The EVC (Electronic Vessel Control) designation indicates fully integrated engine management, allowing the joystick docking system to operate seamlessly. The 2.14 DP gear ratio balances acceleration and cruising efficiency across the RPM range. Counter-rotating props—one turning clockwise, the other counterclockwise—reduce torque steer and improve directional stability during acceleration and maneuvering. The 150-gallon total fuel capacity (75 gallons per aluminum tank) supports extended cruising days on lakes and coastal waterways. A quad battery setup with automatic switches ensures reliable electrical power for starting, house systems, and emergency situations. A 50-amp battery converter and charger maintains battery health during shore power connection, while a jump-start system provides emergency starting capability. A gasoline generator supplies 120-volt AC power when shore power is unavailable, enabling operation of air conditioning, microwave, television, and other AC-dependent systems during anchored or moored periods. The generator integrates with the onboard electrical system through a main distribution panel, with shore power featuring a 50-foot cord for convenient dockside connection. The hull design incorporates an extended V-plane bottom, Kevlar-reinforced laminate, and premium Hydropel resin for durability and impact resistance. Electric trim tabs with indicator lights allow dynamic adjustment of running attitude for optimized performance across sea states and loading conditions.

347 SSX
What type of boat is the 2023 Chaparral 347 SSX, and what makes it different from other boats in its size range?
The 2023 Chaparral 347 SSX is a premium bowrider with a full-beam enclosed cabin, which is a unique design feature in this class. Most competing boats at 33.5 feet use a split-beam cabin layout where the cabin and cockpit are separated, but the 347 SSX integrates a spacious full-beam cabin that doesn't compromise the oversized bowrider cockpit. This design delivers both a massive social seating area up front and a complete overnight cabin with entertainment console, enclosed head, and sleeping accommodations—essentially giving you a dual-purpose day boat and weekend cruiser in one hull.
What engine package powers this 347 SSX, and how does the joystick docking system work?
This boat is powered by twin Volvo Penta V8 2.0L EVC Catalyst engines rated at 380 horsepower each, for a combined 760 horsepower. The joystick docking package is integrated with these engines and allows single-handed control of the boat at low speeds—you can move the joystick forward, backward, left, or right, and the system automatically coordinates throttle and steering inputs to move the boat in that direction. This makes docking, maneuvering in tight spaces, and holding position in current significantly easier, especially valuable on a boat of this size and weight.
What electronics and navigation systems are included on the helm?
The 347 SSX is equipped with twin Simrad NSS9 EVO3 chartplotter and multifunction displays, each with a 9-inch color multi-touch screen. These displays include integrated chartplotter and GPS, WiFi connectivity, Insight Charts for both inland and coastal waters, a SS60 transducer for sonar, and real-time engine data monitoring. The helm also features a custom hand-wrapped leather steering wheel, power-assisted steering with tilt adjustment, stainless steel electronic push-button switches, and a custom binnacle-mounted throttle and shifter control. The dual-display setup provides redundancy and allows you to customize what information appears on each screen.
How is the cockpit layout designed, and what seating and entertainment features are available?
The cockpit features multiple distinct social seating zones designed for entertaining and comfort. The bow has a hinged cushion with storage underneath and a bow ice chest. The port side includes a U-shaped aft lounge with storage below, and the starboard side has a jump seat with storage. The helm area has a double helm seat with forward and aft adjustment and a companion seat. A teak-inlay cockpit table with dedicated storage provides a gathering point. The entire cockpit floor is finished with premium snap-in SeaDek in terra color, and there are 15 stainless steel drink holders positioned throughout. A premium stereo system with AM/FM, Bluetooth, Sirius satellite tuner, and remote controls at both the helm and transom keeps the entertainment going, with six water-resistant speakers and a subwoofer powered by an 8-channel amplifier.
What shade and weather protection does the boat offer for extended time on the water?
The 347 SSX comes with a retractable sunroof integrated into the hardtop, which opens to let in natural light and air while maintaining overhead protection. A SureShade retractable shade canvas system provides additional sun coverage over the cockpit, and a full cockpit cover with hardtop protects the boat when docked. The wrap-around stainless steel windshield with custom supports shields the helm area, and opening cabin portlights with screens allow for ventilation below. These layered shade and weather systems make the boat comfortable during hot summer days and protect the interior from UV exposure.
What cabin accommodations and amenities are included for overnight cruising?
The cabin features an L-shaped couch that converts to a full berth for sleeping, a cedar-lined hanging locker, three opening portlights with screens, and cabin overhead and indirect 12-volt lighting. The galley includes a stainless steel microwave, color-coordinated solid surface countertop, base cabinet with storage, and a GFCI 110-volt receptacle. The enclosed head has a vacuflush toilet with holding tank, a shower with curtain, a solid surface countertop with stainless steel sink and pull-out shower wand, mirrored upper storage, and a power vent. A 24-inch LED HD flat screen with DVD player and hardtop antenna provides entertainment, and air conditioning with heating and a cockpit air vent keeps the cabin comfortable. Wood blinds in both the galley and salon add privacy and a refined finish.
What is the wet bar setup, and how is the interior finished?
The wet bar is located in the cockpit and includes a stainless steel AC/DC refrigerator, allowing you to keep beverages and food cold while entertaining. The interior uses color-coordinated cabin fabrics with Scotchgard protectant, and the dune interior color scheme (also available in slate) pairs with the premium black hullside gelcoat for a sleek, upscale appearance. The cabin features a fiberglass floor and ceiling liner, and the head includes wood flooring for a refined touch. Custom hand-stitched upholstery throughout the cockpit and helm areas, combined with stainless steel hardware and accents, creates a cohesive luxury aesthetic.
What freshwater systems, generator, and power management does the boat have?
The boat is equipped with a pressurized fresh water system with a 25-gallon capacity, a water heater with heat exchanger for comfortable showers, and a transom shower for rinsing off. A gasoline generator provides 120-volt AC power when away from shore power, and the boat includes a 50-amp battery converter/charger and a quad battery setup with automatic switches for reliable DC power. Shore power with a 50-foot cord allows you to plug in at the dock and run air conditioning, heating, microwave, and other 120-volt systems. The electrical system includes a main distribution AC/DC panel, water-resistant breakers in a custom enclosure at the dash, and a galvanic isolator to protect through-hull fittings from corrosion.
What storage and practical features does the 347 SSX provide for a full day or weekend of boating?
Storage is integrated throughout the design. The cockpit floor includes a 70-cubic-foot floor garage accessed from the cockpit, the bow has a hinged cushion with storage underneath and a separate fiberglass tub for additional gear, and there's a lockable glove box at the helm. The cabin includes a galley base cabinet, gunnel storage cabinet, and trash receptacle. A 36-quart carry-on cooler has dedicated storage, and the cockpit table base provides additional space. The bow walkthrough door with powder-coated aluminum frame allows easy access to the forward seating area, and the recessed transom door provides convenient access to the swim platform. An anchor locker with molded lid, polished stainless steel plow anchor, and a windlass package with 270 feet of rope and 15 feet of chain support anchoring and water activities.
What condition and ownership history does this specific 2023 model have?
This is a single-owner boat with only 70 original hours of engine time, indicating minimal use since launch. It has been used exclusively in freshwater on Lake Champlain, which eliminates saltwater corrosion concerns and preserves the condition of through-hull fittings, stainless steel hardware, and the hull itself. The boat has been dealer-maintained throughout its ownership, ensuring that all service intervals were met by factory-trained technicians. The combination of low hours, single ownership, freshwater-only use, and professional maintenance means this boat provides a near-new ownership experience with the confidence of known history.
