Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Chase 600i SC 2013 vs Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Campion Chase 600i SC 2013 against a modified vee Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2011 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 822 SC BRA 2011 measures 30,3 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 8,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Chase 600i SC 2013 at 21,5 feet (2013). At 34 lbs and 66 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 350 hp, the Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2011 has a 30-hp advantage over the Campion Chase 600i SC 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 Explorer 822 SC BRA 2011 carries 147 gallons versus 47 gallons in the Campion Chase 600i SC 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 600i SC 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2011 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Chase 600i SC 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Chase 600i SC 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 21,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
