The Campion 622b Sedan 2008 vs Campion Chase 550i 2012 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion 622b Sedan 2008 at 23,0 ft versus Campion Chase 550i 2012 at 20,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion 622b Sedan 2008 tips the scales at 4 392 lbs — 1 506 lbs more than the Campion Chase 550i 2012 at 2 886 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 2012 has a 95-hp advantage over the Campion 622b Sedan 2008'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 622b Sedan 2008 carries 71 gallons versus 29 gallons in the Campion Chase 550i 2012. 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 622b Sedan 2008 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Campion Chase 550i 2012 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion 622b Sedan 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion 622b Sedan 2008 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 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
