The Campion 682i SC 2005 vs Campion Chase 600ob SC 2013 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 682i SC 2005 at 22,0 ft versus Campion Chase 600ob SC 2013 at 20,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion 682i SC 2005 tips the scales at 4 570 lbs - 2 224 lbs more than the Campion Chase 600ob SC 2013 at 2 346 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 320 hp for the Campion 682i SC 2005 and 300 hp for the Campion Chase 600ob SC 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Campion 682i SC 2005 carries 104 gallons versus 47 gallons in the Campion Chase 600ob SC 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 Chase 600ob SC 2013 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Campion 682i SC 2005 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Chase 600ob SC 2013 could be the deciding factor.
