224 
Here's the deal. By now you've keyed into the fact that there isn't a serious tow boat that can match our 224 Xtreme wake for wake, or, more importantly, failure for feature. Do your own head-to-head comparison and you'll find there is no comparison. Consequently, if the only thing keeping you from the wakeboard ride of a lifetime is value, the 224 Xtreme can be outfitted to fit any budget. Buyers can now pick from an ala carte menu of more than 30 custom options and enjoy the same ride and same pulling power as our maxed out 244 Xtreme. You can also opt for either the Pro Wakeboard or Pro Arch Tower Packages and take to the water in a fully loaded dream-come-true tow boat that won't disappoint.

ON THE WATER
The 224 can match it's inboard rivals wake for wake and gains it's biggest advantage as a first-rate dual purpose family sport boat. Chaparral's Extended V-Plane running surface invites you to travel wherever the smooth water takes you and never have to worry about getting back should a stiff wind unexpectedly put whitecaps in your way. Finally, when it comes to ride control, maneuverability, fuel efficiency, pulling power and low-speed tracking the 224 sets the pace outfront.
THE XTREME LIFESTYLE
The beauty of the 224 Xtreme is you can load it up for tournament wakeboarding or equip it to meet any budget. Either way you benefit from the pulling power, low speed control and incredible cockpit features that literally run away from any comparably-sized inboard. A wide assortment of hip-cool-and-now graphics send a message you live life on the edge in every way.
ANCHOR LOCKER
Chaparral's Wide Tech advantage starts with a broad platform for access inside the boat. A forward locker provides locking cradle support for the anchor and houses a telescopic boarding ladder for easy access from the beach. Recessed hardware prevents unwanted scrapes on your feet and the lid is supported with a stainless steel shock for secure stability.
BOW SEATING
Chaparral has redefined the word "bowrider" with it's incredible Xtreme Series. Notice the forward facing chaise lounge seats, full height backrest cushions, embroidered logo accents, recessed speakers with drink holders and secure grab handles.
BOW STORAGE
Who has more accessories than a boatload of serious boarders? Chaparral's best-in-class sotrage starts with compartments under all the bow seats with an insulated ice chest forward.
CONSOLE STORAGE
Oversized items like fenders and life jackets stow conveniently in a secure helm storage locker.
HELM
We're serious about the business of wakeboarding. Our glare-free helm has a secure grip steering wheel, high quality digital gauges are controlled with a dimmer switch for nighttime operation and Power On rocker switches that illuminate when activated. GPS speed control is available as optional equipment.
OPTIONAL PREMIUM BUCKET SEATS
Most tow boats feature awkward bench seating in the cockpit. Our Premium swivel buckets are more supportive, add legroom and offer a secure, custom fit. Fingertip adjustment controls for swivel and fore/aft adjustments are via levers in the armrests.
OPTIONAL PORTA-POTTIE WITH PORTLIGHT
Like you, we consider an enclosed head an absolute must on any serious wakeboard boat because once you cast off, who wants to head back to shore every time Mother Nature calls? Chaparral's all fiberglass construction is clean, sanitary and an extra no comparably sized inboard can offer.
INFLOOR STORAGE
Another standard equipment extra you won't find on many inboards is a huge infloor ski locker that's wide enough for wakeboards. Supported for one-handed entry by a stainless steel gas chock, the locker has a molded drainage system, flat floor and a protective rubber mat.
WET BAR
Perfect for preparing snacks, the wet bar includes a solid surface countertop, sink, trash chute and storage underneath. The pull-out sprayer faucet extends and can be used as a cockpit washdown. Note the molded step in the starboard gunwale for easy boarding and debarking.
WALK-THRU
A wide, sure-footed transom walk-thru is another noteworthy pleasure boat advantage the 224 Xtreme enjoys over its outdated inboard tow boat rivals. Never again will you have to leave a soggy footprint on your upholstery which is a claim few inboards can make.
TRANSOM SEATING
Chaparral's comfortable and perfectly positioned aft-facing transom seat combines with a huge integrated swim platform to create the perfect launching pad for all kinds of water sports. Notice the stainless steel grab rails and handy drink holders. The 224 also is equipped standard with dual fuel fills so you never have to worry about maneuvering around a crowded gas dock.
TRANSOM PLATFORM
Inboard rivals with bolt-on platforms can't compare to the comfort, ease, serviceability and style of the 224's huge, well designed integrated swim platform. If there's a better launching pad for wakeboarding, we haven't seen it yet.
TRANSOM LADDER
Ask and you shall receive. Mindful of every wake boarder's needs, the integrated transom is close to the water, includes a retractable ladder and a logo mat is standard.
