When you do your depreciation research dont look at asking prices.

Regal boats vs chaparral. In each of the sizes and models that they offer. Regal also builds stern drive cruisers from 26 to 33 feet and now offer the new outboard powered cruisers the 26XO and the 33XO. So far Ive not be able to test either one but am hoping to test the 223 this weekend.

But in the last 5 or 6 years they really stepped up their quality and are considered a middlehigh today. A 40k boat financed for 15 years at 4 will run you in the 275mo ballpark. I have not checked the new boat prices for either boat recently but in my area the Sea Ray commands a high price in the used market.

Chaparral produces some of the worlds finest brands such as Signature Cruisers SSi Sportboats Sunesta Deckboats SSX Performance Sportboats Xtreme Wakeboard Boats H2O Sportboats and Vortex Jet Boats. Im currently debating between the 212X and a comparably équiper 223VRX. Asking prices mean nothing.

Start Shopping for Your Chaparral Boat. Regal has always been a middlehigh boat always. Now the Regal was even better in every aspect from the seats to the fabric and even the fiberglass gelcoat.

Regal competitors include Cobalt Sea Ray Chaparral. A Chaparral feels wider and more comfortable than other brand boats of comparable size. Chapparal was considered a middle of the road boat comparable to Searay for a number of year.

IMHO much more than is justified against Chaparral. Chaparral put all the knowledge weve learned about boat building in the last 50 years into the 223 VRX. All boats are manufactured at Chaparrals headquarters located in Nashville Ga facility.
