Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion 682i SC BRA 2009 vs Campion Chase 500i 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Campion 682i SC BRA 2009 against a deep vee Campion Chase 500i 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 682i SC BRA 2009 measures 25,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 7,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Chase 500i 2012 at 17,1 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase 500i 2012 tips the scales at 1 978 lbs — 1 614 lbs less than the Campion 682i SC BRA 2009 at 364 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 250 hp, the Campion 682i SC BRA 2009 has a 115-hp advantage over the Campion Chase 500i 2012's 135-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 682i SC BRA 2009 carries 104 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Campion Chase 500i 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 682i SC BRA 2009 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion Chase 500i 2012 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion 682i SC BRA 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion 682i SC BRA 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 25,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Chase 500i 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
