Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Chase 500i 2013 vs Campion Chase 600 OB BR 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Campion Chase 500i 2013 against a modified vee Campion Chase 600 OB BR 2010 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 Chase 500i 2013 at 17,1 ft versus Campion Chase 600 OB BR 2010 at 20,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase 600 OB BR 2010 tips the scales at 2 346 lbs — 368 lbs less than the Campion Chase 500i 2013 at 1 978 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 Chase 600 OB BR 2010 has a 175-hp advantage over the Campion Chase 500i 2013'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 Chase 600 OB BR 2010 carries 47 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Campion Chase 500i 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 Chase 500i 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Campion Chase 600 OB BR 2010 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 500i 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Chase 500i 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 17,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Chase 600 OB BR 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
