Both the Campion 602 CC 2009 and the Campion Chase 550i BR 2010 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Campion 602 CC 2009 at 22,0 ft versus Campion Chase 550i BR 2010 at 20,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase 550i BR 2010 tips the scales at 2 886 lbs - 586 lbs less than the Campion 602 CC 2009 at 2 300 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 Chase 550i BR 2010 has a 95-hp advantage over the Campion 602 CC 2009'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 602 CC 2009 carries 64 gallons versus 29 gallons in the Campion Chase 550i BR 2010. 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.
