Matching a modified vee Campion 602 SC BRA 2009 against a deep vee Campion Chase 530i 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Campion 602 SC BRA 2009 measures 23,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 3,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Chase 530i 2012 at 19,7 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion 602 SC BRA 2009 tips the scales at 247 lbs — 223 lbs more than the Campion Chase 530i 2012 at 24 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 225 hp, the Campion 602 SC BRA 2009 has a 25-hp advantage over the Campion Chase 530i 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 Chase 530i 2012 carries 29 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Campion 602 SC BRA 2009. 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.
