Both the Campion Chase 800i 2013 and the Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013 are deep-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Campion Chase 800i 2013 at 28,2 ft versus Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013 at 25,7 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Chase 800i 2013 tips the scales at 4 855 lbs - 1 215 lbs more than the Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013 at 3 640 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 225-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013's 300-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 682 SC BRA 2013 carries 104 gallons versus 63 gallons in the Campion Chase 800i 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 Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion Chase 800i 2013 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 682 SC BRA 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 9 passengers and at 25,7 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Chase 800i 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
