Matching a modified vee Campion 622 WA 2009 against a deep vee Campion Chase 550i 2013 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 622 WA 2009 at 23,0 ft versus Campion Chase 550i 2013 at 20,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase 550i 2013 tips the scales at 2 886 lbs — 2 624 lbs less than the Campion 622 WA 2009 at 262 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 2013 has a 95-hp advantage over the Campion 622 WA 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 622 WA 2009 carries 71 gallons versus 29 gallons in the Campion Chase 550i 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Campion 622 WA 2009 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Campion Chase 550i 2013 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion 622 WA 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion 622 WA 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 23,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Chase 550i 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
