The Campion 552i SC 2006 vs Campion Chase C23 2022 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Campion Chase C23 2022 measures 25,1 feet overall (2022), giving it roughly 7,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion 552i SC 2006 at 18,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase C23 2022 tips the scales at 4 037 lbs — 3 788 lbs less than the Campion 552i SC 2006 at 249 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 380 hp, the Campion Chase C23 2022 has a 155-hp advantage over the Campion 552i SC 2006's 225-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Campion 552i SC 2006 carries 53 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Campion Chase C23 2022. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 7 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
