Chaparral 28 Surf vs. Chaparral 287:
What’s the difference?
The trendsetting Chaparral 287 SSX brought luxury, technology, and stability. Marry that with the Surf Gate system, and you have the Chaparral 28 Surf!
The 2022 Chaparral 28 Surf features a modified running surface. Instead of the extended V-plane hull in the 287, the hull shape of the 28 Surf creates an impressive surf wave for all levels of surfing experience. Chaparral also added an internal ballast system for this model to assist in optimal wave displacement.
In addition, the forward-drive Volvo Penta engine paired with the Surf Gate system provides more versatility and performance benefits. Whether you cruise the lake or surf with your friends, the maneuverability of the 28 Surf is like no other!
And that’s not all! The 2022 Chaparral 28 Surf brings all of the premium features and finishes from the 287. You can’t get much better than a Chaparral surfing boat with luxurious bells and whistles.
Styling and Comfort
The 28 Surf in this video includes the Black Edition package with an electric folding hardtop. The Black Edition package consists of a black gel coat on the exterior with black metal finishes and the Surf logo. On the inside, you will find Cayenne Naugahyde vinyl with cool-touch technology, tan SeaDek flooring, and stainless steel finishes.
The black electric folding hardtop on this 2022 Chaparral 28 Surf offers plenty of shade. With the touch of a button, you can lower the tower for storage or passing under a low bridge. If you like having the option to stow your bimini, the standard EFX tower and bimini are available.
This boat comes standard with a solid surface countertop and a nice wood veneer head. Other head options include an electric head, portapotty, or pump-out portapotty, depending on your needs.
Chaparral designs all of their boats for use in saltwater. With kevlar in the hull, stainless steel hardware, and an easy flush and drain system in the engine, you can easily go from lake life to ocean views.
Convenience and Safety
The wide signature platform from Chaparral Boats offers easy boarding and optimum transom seating. And what would the platform be without the patented Infinity Step? Have a seat on the 3-wide convertible lounge seat, press the button, and watch the step deploy automatically. The Infinity Step creates a unique social zone at the back of the boat and easy access in and out of the water.
Inside the 28 Surf, you find wrap-around seating for everyone on board and fully adjustable bucket seats for your captain and co-captain. Plus, a stowable stern gate helps keep kids and pets inside the boat when underway.
The bow on this boat is extremely deep, with plenty of seating and full-length grab rails. Your passengers have plenty of space yet feel secure in rough water!
Technology
At the helm, the 2022 Chaparral 28 Surf features dual 7” touchscreen Simrad displays. Like in the 287 SSX, you have fingertip access to GPS, ballast and trim surf settings, cruise control, and audio settings.
All of the captain’s switches and bezels are illuminated and come standard with stainless steel finishes.
To top off the rider experience, high-quality JL Audio speakers surround the cockpit and bow for optimum sound performance.
Storage and More Storage
The 2022 Chaparral 28 Surf does not lack in the storage department. Flip up the hinge seats in the cockpit to reveal port-side coffin storage and starboard side Igloo cooler space. All seats in the bow reveal deep compartments lined with spaghetti mats perfect for storing watersports gear.
Behind the wind door, you find a drawer perfect for wallets and phones and helm storage space great for your Coast Guard safety kit.
The cockpit table sits in a drawer hidden in the boat’s center with the ballast compartment for easy access and installation.
This boat comes standard with a 4-step bow boarding ladder that folds up and stores in the nose of the boat. The bow also features a flip-up bow light and recessed cleats, so no more stubbing your toes when boarding.
