Chaparral's 2026 250 OSX combines deep bow seating and a flexible cockpit with a maximum 300hp outboard rating. Overall length is 8.08 metres when measured with the engine, compared with 7.47 metres including the swimming platform alone.
A social cockpit and aft deck
The design includes flip-up helm bolsters, handrails and large rear Vista-view lounges with storage below. An open bow gives passengers a separate place to relax when it is safe to do so.
An owner should examine the movement around the engine and platform during swimming days. Engine shutdown and propeller awareness matter regardless of the luxury fittings.
Published hull dimensions
Chaparral lists a 2.59-metre beam, 20-degree transom deadrise and a 227-litre fuel tank. With the selected engine, a dry weight of about 1,905 kilograms appears in the current specification.
A brochure weight cannot be used alone for towing or lift planning. Trailer, full fuel, safety equipment and fitted options must be added before choosing a vehicle or crane.
Passenger and head facilities
The manufacturer's NMMA figure is fourteen people or approximately 910 kilograms, and the boat has a small enclosed head arrangement. The standard and optional equipment list should be checked for the exact build.
A legal passenger count is not a promise that fourteen adults and their full luggage will be comfortable during a day afloat. Suitable weather and seating also constrain actual use.
An established outboard model
The 250 OSX forms part of Chaparral's current range, with a different layout and scale from its 21 and 23 SSi models. Owners should weigh mooring length and day use rather than assume the longer boat always suits their plans.
These details are taken from the official 2026 model sheet and matched photo. No new September sale or launch is inferred.
