Matching a modified vee Campion Chase 550i BR 2011 against a deep vee Campion Chase 600ob BR 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 550i BR 2011 measures 20,2 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 18,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Chase 600ob BR 2013 at 2,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase 550i BR 2011 tips the scales at 2 886 lbs — 540 lbs more than the Campion Chase 600ob BR 2013 at 2 346 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 300 hp for the Campion Chase 600ob BR 2013. 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 600ob BR 2013 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Campion Chase 550i BR 2011 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Campion Chase 600ob BR 2013 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 550i BR 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Chase 550i BR 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 20,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Chase 600ob BR 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
