Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 vs Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 against a deep vee Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 at 21,5 ft versus Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 at 23,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 tips the scales at 247 lbs — 213 lbs less than the Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 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 SC 2011 has a 95-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012's 225-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 600i SC 2011 carries 47 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012. 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.

Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 and its 320-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 with its 225-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 vs Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 or the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012?
The Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 is the longer of the two at 23,1 feet overall. The Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 comes in at 21,5 feet, making it roughly 1,6 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 or the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012?
For trailering, the Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 has the edge at 34 lbs dry weight versus 247 lbs for the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 is rated to a maximum of 320 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 tops out at 225 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 7 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 is certified for 7. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 measures 98" wide, compared to 92" for the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 or the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012?
The Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 has the bigger tank at 47 gallons, versus 6 gallons on the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012. That 41-gallon difference translates to roughly 123–205 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 and Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Campion Chase 600i SC 2011 and the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 are built by Campion. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
