Campion Chase 800i 2013 vs Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013: A Close Look at Two Deep-V Boats

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.

Campion Chase 800i 2013 vs Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Campion Chase 800i 2013 or the Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013?
The Campion Chase 800i 2013 is the longer of the two at 28,2 feet overall. The Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013 comes in at 25,7 feet, making it roughly 2,5 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Campion Chase 800i 2013 or the Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013?
For trailering, the Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013 has the edge at 3 640 lbs dry weight versus 4 855 lbs for the Campion Chase 800i 2013. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Campion Chase 800i 2013 is rated to a maximum of 525 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013 tops out at 300 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Campion Chase 800i 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 7 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013 is certified for 9. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013 measures 102" wide, compared to 99" for the Campion Chase 800i 2013. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Campion Chase 800i 2013 or the Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013?
The Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013 has the bigger tank at 104 gallons, versus 63 gallons on the Campion Chase 800i 2013. That 40-gallon difference translates to roughly 122–204 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Campion Chase 800i 2013 and Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Campion Chase 800i 2013 and the Campion Explorer 682 SC BRA 2013 are built by Campion. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
