Sense the adventure of a weekend getaway. Enjoy the smiles of quality time spent with family. Chaparral invites you to throw traditional designs to the wind and get onboard a sport boat that offers best-in-class legroom, styling and storage space. How do you describe the 196? Sleek? High quality? Innovative? The answer is all of the above and so much more. Available exclusively with fuel efficient 4.3 liter stern drive power, the 196 is a thumbs up wakeboard boat with rock-solid low-speed handling. Where the fiberglass meets the water, our fine tuned extended V-plane bottom design is enhanced with kevlar reinforcement for superior ride control. Little extras that make a big difference in overall comfort include padded armrests, a molded foot panel, a tilt steering wheel, blue cockpit lighting, dual DC power plugs and convenient drink holders.
