Chaparral 24ft Sunesta
 

Looking at this boat and was wondering if anyone has any experience with it and can tell me what they think of it. It would be for Winni use.

Thanks

I just bought a 26' Sunesta, downsizing from a Signature 270. I looked at the 24' and the 26' - both were great boats, but my wife wanted the bigger head that comes in the 26'.

Chaparral makes a great boat - reliable, well designed, and visually attractive. I far prefer the bowrider for Lake usage. It handles everything Winni can throw at it - even rough days on the broads.

Highly recommended.

I was looking at that boat also but ended up with a crownline. Seemed like it would fit the family better and got a better price. Regardless that is a great boat if you do decide on it. Any of the 24+ ft hybrid deck boats will handle the lake great.

We have a 265SSI good boat but it is a rough ride. Hull design makes it slam the waves instead of going through them. Other then that great boat with lots of room. We hope to upgrade to a heavyer boat in the future.

I have the Sunesta 244 and LOVE IT. I have had it on Winni for 2 seasons and it handles great in any weather. I feel like I looked at all of the boats on the market and went with the Sunesta. The rear seat with big platform is the best part. Tons of room and it fits 14 people. Good luck!
