The Campion Allante 595ob BR 2012 is a deep-V design and the Campion Chase 700i SC 2011 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 Chase 700i SC 2011 measures 26,2 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 5,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Allante 595ob BR 2012 at 21,0 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase 700i SC 2011 tips the scales at 4 550 lbs - 2 204 lbs less than the Campion Allante 595ob 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 Chase 700i SC 2011 has a 125-hp advantage over the Campion Allante 595ob 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 Chase 700i SC 2011 carries 69 gallons versus 47 gallons in the Campion Allante 595ob BR 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 Allante 595ob BR 2012 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 Allante 595ob BR 2012 could be the deciding factor.
