The Campion Chase 550i 2013 vs Campion Chase C20 2022 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion Chase 550i 2013 at 20,2 ft versus Campion Chase C20 2022 at 21,7 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase C20 2022 tips the scales at 3 400 lbs — 514 lbs less than the Campion Chase 550i 2013 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 350 hp, the Campion Chase C20 2022 has a 30-hp advantage over the Campion Chase 550i 2013's 320-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 Chase C20 2022 carries 42 gallons versus 29 gallons in the Campion Chase 550i 2013. 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 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Campion Chase C20 2022 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Chase 550i 2013 could be the deciding factor.
