Matching a modified vee Campion Allante 595 OB SC 2011 against a deep vee Campion Chase 500ob 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 Allante 595 OB SC 2011 measures 21,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 4,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Chase 500ob 2012 at 16,6 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Allante 595 OB SC 2011 tips the scales at 2 346 lbs — 2 207 lbs more than the Campion Chase 500ob 2012 at 139 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 300 hp, the Campion Allante 595 OB SC 2011 has a 175-hp advantage over the Campion Chase 500ob 2012's 125-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 Allante 595 OB SC 2011 carries 47 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Campion Chase 500ob 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 Chase 500ob 2012 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Campion Allante 595 OB SC 2011 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Chase 500ob 2012 could be the deciding factor.
