The Campion 682i SC 2007 vs Campion Chase 700i SC 2011 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 2007 at 25,0 ft versus Campion Chase 700i SC 2011 at 26,2 ft. At 4 570 lbs and 4 550 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class - either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 425 hp, the Campion Chase 700i SC 2011 has a 105-hp advantage over the Campion 682i SC 2007's 320-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 2007 carries 104 gallons versus 69 gallons in the Campion Chase 700i SC 2011. 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 2007 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Campion Chase 700i SC 2011 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion 682i SC 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion 682i SC 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 25,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Chase 700i SC 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
