Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Chase 550i BR 2011 vs Campion Infinyte i2 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Campion Chase 550i BR 2011 against a tunnel Campion Infinyte i2 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Campion Chase 550i BR 2011 measures 20,2 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 10,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Infinyte i2 2012 at 9,3 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase 550i BR 2011 tips the scales at 2 886 lbs — 2 877 lbs more than the Campion Infinyte i2 2012 at 9 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 320 hp, the Campion Chase 550i BR 2011 has a 314-hp advantage over the Campion Infinyte i2 2012's 6-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
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 Infinyte i2 2012 caps at 2. 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 Infinyte i2 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 2 that costs less to run day-to-day.
