Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion 705i SC 2009 vs Campion Chase 650i BR 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Campion 705i SC 2009 against a deep vee Campion Chase 650i BR 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 705i SC 2009 at 26,0 ft versus Campion Chase 650i BR 2013 at 25,1 ft. At 455 lbs and 421 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 380 hp, the Campion Chase 650i BR 2013 has a 60-hp advantage over the Campion 705i SC 2009'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 705i SC 2009 carries 69 gallons versus 56 gallons in the Campion Chase 650i BR 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 9 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Campion Chase 650i BR 2013 and its 380-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Campion 705i SC 2009 with its 320-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
