Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion 822 SC BRA 2009 vs Campion Chase 600ob BR 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Campion 822 SC BRA 2009 against a deep vee Campion Chase 600ob BR 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion 822 SC BRA 2009 at 3,0 ft versus Campion Chase 600ob BR 2012 at 2,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion 822 SC BRA 2009 tips the scales at 7 877 lbs — 5 531 lbs more than the Campion Chase 600ob BR 2012 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 425 hp, the Campion 822 SC BRA 2009 has a 125-hp advantage over the Campion Chase 600ob BR 2012's 300-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 822 SC BRA 2009 carries 147 gallons versus 47 gallons in the Campion Chase 600ob BR 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 1 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.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Campion Chase 600ob BR 2012 comes in at 8 lbs per hp versus 19 lbs per hp for the Campion 822 SC BRA 2009. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Campion 822 SC BRA 2009 and its 425-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Campion Chase 600ob BR 2012 with its 300-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
