The Campion Chase 550i BR 2011 vs Campion LS 705i BR 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Campion LS 705i BR 2005 measures 24,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 3,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Chase 550i BR 2011 at 20,2 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion LS 705i BR 2005 tips the scales at 4 627 lbs — 1 741 lbs less than the Campion Chase 550i BR 2011 at 2 886 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 LS 705i BR 2005. 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 LS 705i BR 2005 carries 69 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.
