The Campion Chase 800i 2013 is a deep-V design and the Campion Explorer 602i SC 2010 is a modified-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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Campion Chase 800i 2013 measures 28,2 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 5,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Explorer 602i SC 2010 at 23,1 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase 800i 2013 tips the scales at 4 855 lbs - 955 lbs more than the Campion Explorer 602i SC 2010 at 3 900 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 2013 has a 205-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 602i SC 2010's 320-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 63 gal and 60 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Campion Chase 800i 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 602i SC 2010 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Chase 800i 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Chase 800i 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 7 passengers and at 28,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Explorer 602i SC 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
