As a bow rider enthusiast, the Chaparral Boat SSi Series 23 SSi 2023 by Chaparral Boats captured my attention for several reasons. This 2023 model is a testament to Chaparral's continued commitment to delivering top-notch bow riders that go above and beyond in terms of design, performance, and functionality.
Starting with the basics, this gem has a length of 23 feet with a beam width of 8 feet 6 inches, providing ample space for relaxation and movement. Boasting a passenger capacity of 13 individuals and weighing 3,600 lbs dry weight, this boat is perfect for those looking for superior comfort without compromising the vessel's performance and stability.
One of the standout features that caught my eye was Chaparral's distinctive color selection for hull side gel-coat with color-matched deck graphics. The option to select between Alloy Gray, Biscayne Blue, Black, Fire Red, Steel Blue, or White is indeed a delightful touch. Furthermore, the exterior of the bow rider is finished off with a color-coordinated Bimini top with boot, featuring an aluminum frame and made from sunbrella fabric for resilience and durability.
Chaparral doesn't compromise on the interior either. The cockpit features a well-thought-out layout with two bucket seats equipped with logo badging, U-shaped seating, and an aft hinged sun deck with walk-thru, lounge position, and aft-facing seat. Also worth mentioning is the well-insulated 70-quart built-in cooler underneath the rear bench seat - a feature that undoubtedly adds a significant level of convenience for passengers.
On the technical side, this bow rider is built to perform. With power-assisted steering and a tilt wheel, it ensures smooth navigation and control. Also, the boat comes equipped with a 3-Blade Aluminum Prop for enhanced performance even in demanding conditions. The Kevlar-reinforced hull laminate and extending V-plane hull highlight the brand's commitment to safety and resilience.
The 23 SSi 2023 also stands out with its high-level sound system - featuring an AM/FM Bluetooth radio and water-resistant speakers equipped with Blue LED lighting. This addition positions this bow rider not just as a performing marine machine, but also a perfect platform for entertainment.
The vessel's attention to safety and navigational details is commendable. Aside from the automatic bilge pump and electric horn, the boat also features navigational LED lights. The NMMA certification achieved using ABYC standards reaffirms the vessel's safety and high performance.
Finally, the black powder-coated tandem axle trailer armed with disc brakes on all four wheels, LED lights and swing-away tongue, is a masterpiece that ensures easy and safe transportation of the bow rider both off and on the water.
In conclusion, the 2023 Chaparral Boat SSi Series 23 SSi offers a remarkable combination of performance, safety, and comfort, making it a worthy contender in the bow rider market. Whether it’s a seasoned boat enthusiast or someone venturing out on their first nautical adventure, this 2023 model certainly deserves consideration.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
