Chaparrals site has 52 gallon capacity listed under the 243vrx specs. Boattest.com as well as many other sites online list 60gal but there are also several that list 52 gal. Called the local dealer and he's not sure.

****** Confirmed. 52 Gallon. If anyone knows where the 60gallon spec number came from please let us know!

Sure enough. Chaparral finally returned our call. 52 gallon. She wasn't sure where the 60 came from. That actually means the Boat Test range specs are all wrong too. Dang, that was decent pro for it too, especially for ocean use :(
