Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Allante 705i SC 2012 vs Campion Chase 700i SC 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Campion Allante 705i SC 2012 against a modified vee Campion Chase 700i SC 2011 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 Allante 705i SC 2012 at 26,2 ft versus Campion Chase 700i SC 2011 at 26,2 ft. At 455 lbs and 455 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 430 hp for the Campion Allante 705i SC 2012 and 425 hp for the Campion Chase 700i SC 2011. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 69 gal and 69 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Campion Allante 705i SC 2012 is rated for 9 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 705i SC 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Allante 705i SC 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 26,2 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.
