Missing the Campion Chase Performance edition

[QBhoy]

really missing the ridiculous boat, but the compromise of the new cuddy and efficient 4 stroke is keeping the family happy.
Wee video of the last time she was out this year. Incredible difference between apparently similar boats. Just in case anyone wasn’t aware of what this thing will do to an average fast bow rider at 18ft. What a machine.

Campions are very nice and well built. I've been to their factory in Kelowna BC. It's about 8 hours from me and only an hour when we go on holidays.

Amazing. Would love to go to their factory. Their customer support has been incredible. Family owned and hand built until very recently. Perhaps one of the last of the bespoke and high quality North American privately owned boat makers. Such a shame they have sold out this year.
Lovely boats...but the average campion can be up to 3 times as expensive as the equivalent bayliner. Perhaps the reason they have sold out and now going mass produced. Happens to them all I suppose.
Great full that I was lucky enough to get one of the apparent 15 of these that were built. Such a special thing and incredibly quick for such a heavy boat.
She is now out the water for a rest and into storage. Just to keep her good.
All the best.

Agree. She’s a lovely thing. Even the normal campions are rare things here in the U.K.
if I was to be critical...she’s not great in the U.K. loch short and sharp choppy waters...but so much better than the average North American similar boats. I suppose any fast hull with a pad is never going to be good at the rough stuff. Amazing when it’s calm enough to open the throttle though. Love it.
