Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion 595i BR 2009 vs Campion Chase 580ob 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Campion 595i BR 2009 against a deep vee Campion Chase 580ob 2012 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion 595i BR 2009 at 21,0 ft versus Campion Chase 580ob 2012 at 19,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase 580ob 2012 tips the scales at 202 lbs — 168 lbs less than the Campion 595i BR 2009 at 34 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 320 hp, the Campion 595i BR 2009 has a 120-hp advantage over the Campion Chase 580ob 2012's 200-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 595i BR 2009 carries 47 gallons versus 28 gallons in the Campion Chase 580ob 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 8 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.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Campion 595i BR 2009 and its 320-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Campion Chase 580ob 2012 with its 200-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
