Matching a modified vee Campion Chase 700i BR 2010 against a deep vee Campion Explorer 622i SD 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 700i BR 2010 at 26,2 ft versus Campion Explorer 622i SD 2012 at 23,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2012 tips the scales at 4 392 lbs — 3 937 lbs less than the Campion Chase 700i BR 2010 at 455 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 425 hp, the Campion Chase 700i BR 2010 has a 200-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 622i SD 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 700i BR 2010 carries 69 gallons versus 50 gallons in the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2012. 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 Explorer 622i SD 2012 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion Chase 700i BR 2010 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 23,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Chase 700i BR 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
