Matching a deep vee Campion Chase 600i BR 2013 against a modified vee Campion Explorer 542 SC 2010 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion Chase 600i BR 2013 at 21,5 ft versus Campion Explorer 542 SC 2010 at 19,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 542 SC 2010 tips the scales at 199 lbs — 165 lbs less than the Campion Chase 600i BR 2013 at 34 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 600i BR 2013 has a 170-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 542 SC 2010's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 47 gal and 47 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

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.
