The Campion 582 CC 2007 vs Campion Infinyte i3 2013 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 Infinyte i3 2013 measures 12,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 10,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion 582 CC 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion 582 CC 2007 tips the scales at 192 lbs — 174 lbs more than the Campion Infinyte i3 2013 at 18 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 150 hp, the Campion 582 CC 2007 has a 140-hp advantage over the Campion Infinyte i3 2013's 10-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Campion 582 CC 2007 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Campion Infinyte i3 2013 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion 582 CC 2007 could be the deciding factor.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Campion 582 CC 2007 comes in at 1 lbs per hp versus 2 lbs per hp for the Campion Infinyte i3 2013. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion 582 CC 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Infinyte i3 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
