Matching a modified vee Campion Allante LX 825 Mid Cabin 2011 against a deep vee Campion Chase 650i SC 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 Allante LX 825 Mid Cabin 2011 at 27,8 ft versus Campion Chase 650i SC 2013 at 25,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Allante LX 825 Mid Cabin 2011 tips the scales at 8 422 lbs — 8 001 lbs more than the Campion Chase 650i SC 2013 at 421 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 Allante LX 825 Mid Cabin 2011 has a 45-hp advantage over the Campion Chase 650i SC 2013's 380-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 LX 825 Mid Cabin 2011 carries 111 gallons versus 56 gallons in the Campion Chase 650i SC 2013. 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 LX 825 Mid Cabin 2011 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Campion Chase 650i SC 2013 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Allante LX 825 Mid Cabin 2011 could be the deciding factor.
