The AZ 260 is a great family sport boat, able to accommodate up to 13 passengers. The cockpit highlights a wetbar with sink, storage and spacious seating arrangement. The stern bench is a convertible sun pad that flips to three different positions. In the upright position, it is set as far back as possible to utilize maximum cockpit space. The large head door allows you to step in and out away from the windshield point, providing convenient privacy. The helm is a handsome design, inspired by luxury sport cars. It features a soft-touch vinyl-clad dash, brushed aluminum panels, fog-resistant gauges mounted above the matching Italian leather steering wheel and a sculpted dash brow, designed to reduce glare on helm instruments.

Azure boats are contemporary, known for high style and high-performance engineering. Azure's deep hull design enables the boat to have a 39-degree deadrise at the bow, and a deadrise of 22 degrees at the transom. This boat cuts through water effortlessly, equivalent to the soft, smooth ride you would get from much larger saltwater fishing boats. The deep hull design is perfected by the air induction reaction vent, SureTrack system and StraightTrac transom extension, which ensures turning ability and precision handling.
<
At the stern, you'll notice that the side of the boat narrows into the swim platform. This curve is designed for docking success, keeping the back end completely out of the way. The swim platform is unique, very large and entirely level. Getting out of the water and onto the platform is a breeze thanks to the four-step telescoping ladder.
<
Several luxury options are available on the AZ 260, including a Rockford Premium Sound System with four speakers and an MP3 port, with satellite option.

Chaparral helped pioneer today's modern deck boat with the introduction of its popular Sunesta Series back in 1995. In 2008, the company completely restyled its Sunesta line, introducing four brand new boats highlighted by the 244 Sunesta.
<
All-new in every way, the 244 is certainly not your grandfather's Sunesta. What sets the 244 apart is Chaparral's innovative and patented Wide Tech hull design. The Wide Tech design carries more beam forward while maintaining the soft riding V-bottom that customers demand. Chaparral's amazing design opens up many exciting possibilities when it comes to storage space, legroom and interior innovations. Simply put, inch for inch, the 224 Sunesta measures up quite favorably when compared to the competition.
<
Inside, Chaparral's Dura-life Max seating sets the standard in durability and comfort. Stainless steel rails, bow to stern, add a measure of security and quality. The high tech helm features digital instrumentation and illuminated rocker switches so you can monitor all onboard functions with just a glance. Aft, an innovative transom lounge connects passengers onboard with anyone splashing around in the water and, in conjunction with the oversized integrated swim platform, provides the ideal launching pad for water sports.
<
The 244 makes the perfect wakeboard tow boat and is set up for family fun of all kinds. Targeted for lakes, rivers and even offshore, the 244 snaps on plane, tracks perfectly and is secure in challenging seas. Additionally, Chaparral's Quad Radial Lamination system keeps the strength up and the weight down and is Kevlar reinforced for the ultimate in ride comfort.
