Matching a deep vee Campion Chase 500i 2013 against a catamaran Campion Infinyte i4 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Campion Chase 500i 2013 measures 17,1 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Infinyte i4 2013 at 14,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase 500i 2013 tips the scales at 1 978 lbs — 1 907 lbs more than the Campion Infinyte i4 2013 at 71 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 Campion Chase 500i 2013 carries a rated maximum of 125 hp. Engine data for the Campion Infinyte i4 2013 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
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 Infinyte i4 2013 caps at 5. 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 Infinyte i4 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
