The Campion Chase 530i 2013 is a deep-V design and the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2010 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 Explorer 602 SC BRA 2010 measures 23,1 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 5,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Chase 530i 2013 at 17,8 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2010 tips the scales at 2 470 lbs - 670 lbs less than the Campion Chase 530i 2013 at 1 800 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 225 hp, the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2010 has a 75-hp advantage over the Campion Chase 530i 2013's 150-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 Explorer 602 SC BRA 2010 carries 60 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Campion Chase 530i 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 7 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
