Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Chase 650i BR 2013 vs Campion LS 705i SC 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Campion Chase 650i BR 2013 vs Campion LS 705i SC 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion Chase 650i BR 2013 at 25,1 ft versus Campion LS 705i SC 2005 at 24,0 ft. At 421 lbs and 455 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 380 hp, the Campion Chase 650i BR 2013 has a 60-hp advantage over the Campion LS 705i SC 2005'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 LS 705i SC 2005 carries 69 gallons versus 56 gallons in the Campion Chase 650i BR 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 650i BR 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion LS 705i SC 2005 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Chase 650i BR 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Chase 650i BR 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 25,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion LS 705i SC 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
