Matching a modified vee Campion Chase 550i BR 2011 against a deep vee Campion Chase 600i BR 2012 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 550i BR 2011 at 20,2 ft versus Campion Chase 600i BR 2012 at 21,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase 550i BR 2011 tips the scales at 2 886 lbs — 2 852 lbs more than the Campion Chase 600i BR 2012 at 34 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 320 hp for the Campion Chase 550i BR 2011 and 320 hp for the Campion Chase 600i BR 2012. 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Campion Chase 600i BR 2012 carries 47 gallons versus 29 gallons in the Campion Chase 550i BR 2011. 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.
