Chaparral spokesman Bill Pegg said the challenge of the H2O Series was merging the style and quality characteristics for which the company is known in an affordable boat model. And that statement pretty much sums up the mission of the Chaparral 19 H2O and it is a tall mission, indeed.

There are a dozen low-price point brands on the market in this entry-level category, so finding distinguishing features on the new Chaparral H2O 19 will be difficult. Most brands do a good job at one aspect or another of the build, or even many aspects, however few do a good job of all things. And that is, perhaps, the most distinguishing feature the H2O -- the builder has done a pretty good job in all critical areas. But here are a couple of other things to note--

This is a Chaparral exclusive and you will not find it on other price-point boats. You will find it on Chaparral's traditional line.

This is a long way of saying that Chaparral didn't "cheap out" when making up the boat's bill of materials and components. If it is a needed item, it is there, and it is of good marine quality. For example, 316 stainless steel hardware is used, the same grade that you find on expensive boats. The seats are wood-free. The upholstery is well-made and is cut, stitched and fabricated in the same shop that makes upholstery for the up-market Chaparral lines.

It is no secret that the automobile industry and some boat companies add margin to their boats by having options that people need to buy that are priced aggressively. In looking over the 19 H2O option list we find the prices quite reasonable and as low if not lower than other builders in class.

The 19 Sport’s Extended V-Plane design allows the boat’s waterline to extend aft of where the outdrive fits the transom to give the hull a longer running surface. The added length creates a more comfortable ride in rough water and the added buoyancy allows the boat to both get on plane faster and remain there at lower speeds.
