The Campion Chase 700i SC 2010 is a modified-V design and the Campion Chase 800i 2012 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 SC 2010 at 26,2 ft versus Campion Chase 800i 2012 at 28,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase 800i 2012 tips the scales at 4 855 lbs - 305 lbs less than the Campion Chase 700i SC 2010 at 4 550 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 525 hp, the Campion Chase 800i 2012 has a 100-hp advantage over the Campion Chase 700i SC 2010's 425-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 SC 2010 carries 69 gallons versus 63 gallons in the Campion Chase 800i 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.
