Chaparral 21 SSi vs Monterey 235SS Super Sport Boat

Published specs only for two bowrider / runabout models buyers often cross-shop (entry–mid bowriders). Every figure links to the builder page it came from. When a builder hasn't published a figure, the cell says not published — we never estimate or fill it in.
