The Campion 552i SC 2007 vs Campion Explorer 622 WA 2011 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Campion Explorer 622 WA 2011 measures 23,5 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 4,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion 552i SC 2007 at 19,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion 552i SC 2007 tips the scales at 3 171 lbs — 2 909 lbs more than the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2011 at 262 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 225 hp for the Campion 552i SC 2007 and 225 hp for the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2011. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2011 carries 71 gallons versus 53 gallons in the Campion 552i SC 2007. 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 622 WA 2011 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Campion 552i SC 2007 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 622 WA 2011 could be the deciding factor.
