The Campion Chase 600 OB BR 2011 is a modified-V design and the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 Explorer 682i SC 2012 measures 25,7 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 5,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Chase 600 OB BR 2011 at 20,0 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 tips the scales at 4 570 lbs - 2 224 lbs less than the Campion Chase 600 OB BR 2011 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 - 300 hp for the Campion Chase 600 OB BR 2011 and 320 hp for the Campion Explorer 682i SC 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 Explorer 682i SC 2012 carries 104 gallons versus 47 gallons in the Campion Chase 600 OB 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 10 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.
