Matching a modified vee Campion Chase 600 OB BR 2011 against a deep vee Campion Explorer 822br 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 Explorer 822br 2012 measures 30,3 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 10,3 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 Chase 600 OB BR 2011 tips the scales at 2 346 lbs — 2 280 lbs more than the Campion Explorer 822br 2012 at 66 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 Explorer 822br 2012 has a 50-hp advantage over the Campion Chase 600 OB BR 2011's 300-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 Explorer 822br 2012 carries 147 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 1 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.
