Producing high-quality recreational boats for over half a century, Chaparral Boats is a name that commands respect from all corners of the marine world. With the introduction of the Surf Series 26 Surf for 2023, the illustrious brand continues to showcase its dedication to innovation, style and performance.
This breathtaking Ski and Wakeboard Boat is designed with a focus on functionality without compromising on style and amenities. Kitted out in stunning exterior color options that include Alloy Gray, Biscayne Blue, Black, Ice Blue, Seafoam Green, Stealth Gray, Steel Blue, and White, the 26 Surf poses a bold statement whether at rest or ripping through the waves.
The power system relies on durable stainless-steel props, an assurance of long-lasting efficiency. The EFX electric folding arch tower with color-coordinated canvas ensures a high level of customization, allowing the owner to make the boat their own. From the cockpit to the controls, luxury is the underlying theme, with hand-stitched upholstery, custom-molded interior vinyl-wrapped fiberglass side panels, and a custom hand-wrapped helm with stainless steel accents.
Safety and reliability are other areas where the Surf Series 26 excels. It is equipped with features such as an emergency shutdown switch, grounding bars for the engine and dash, and loom-wrapped wiring. Furthermore, the boat has a Twin Simrad NSS7 EVO3 Chartplotter that includes a 7-inch color multi-touch display for better navigation and tracking.
The interior is not left out in the quest for luxury and comfort. An enclosed fiberglass head compartment, a cockpit drainage system, custom-moulded interior, storage compartments, and dual USB charging ports are just a few of the features that make the 26 Surf a boater's paradise.
When it comes to performance, the Surf Series 26 rises to the occasion. Its Kevlar-reinforced hull and extended v-plane hull provide enhanced buoyancy and maneuverability. The onboard ballast system, with a 1080 lbs. capacity, ensures optimal weight distribution for superior handling and wake shaping. With a fuel capacity of 65 gallons and a max horsepower of 430, the Surf Series 26 is ready to conquer waves and excite watersports enthusiasts.
The cost makes it even more appealing, the MSRP is marked at $180,880, while the dealer invoice stands at $144,704. The 2023 Chaparral Boat Surf Series 26 Surf is more than just a boat – it's an experience that promises a thrilling and luxurious journey, every single time.

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
