Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Chase 700i BR 2013 vs Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Campion Chase 700i BR 2013 against a modified vee Campion Explorer 682i 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion Chase 700i BR 2013 at 26,2 ft versus Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2011 at 25,7 ft. At 455 lbs and 364 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 430 hp, the Campion Chase 700i BR 2013 has a 180-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2011's 250-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 682i SC BRA 2011 carries 104 gallons versus 69 gallons in the Campion Chase 700i BR 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 9 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 700i BR 2013 and its 430-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2011 with its 250-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
