6 Benefits of Chaparral Boats’ Extended V-Plane Hull

Feb. 8 2018 News By Lakeside Marina

Low Speed Stability

The Chaparral hull design utilizes an extended running surface, allowing the “v-plane” to continue aft of the transom. This creates superior stability under nearly all driving conditions.

Efficient Fuel Economy

Less time at the pump means more time in the water and more money for bait. The hydro-lift provides a quick plane time, creating one of the most fuel efficient boats in their class.
