The Campion 602b SC 2006 vs Campion Chase 550i BR 2010 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 550i BR 2010 measures 20,2 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 18,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion 602b SC 2006 at 2,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase 550i BR 2010 tips the scales at 2 886 lbs — 2 639 lbs less than the Campion 602b SC 2006 at 247 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 602b 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 Chase 550i BR 2010 carries 29 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Campion 602b SC 2006. 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.
Bottom line: The Campion Chase 550i BR 2010 at 20,2 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Campion 602b SC 2006 at 2,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
