The Campion 595i BR 2009 is a modified-V design and the Campion Explorer 602 CC 2012 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Campion 595i BR 2009 at 21,0 ft versus Campion Explorer 602 CC 2012 at 22,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion 595i BR 2009 tips the scales at 3 400 lbs - 1 100 lbs more than the Campion Explorer 602 CC 2012 at 2 300 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 320 hp, the Campion 595i BR 2009 has a 95-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 602 CC 2012's 225-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 602 CC 2012 carries 64 gallons versus 47 gallons in the Campion 595i BR 2009. 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 595i BR 2009 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 602 CC 2012 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion 595i BR 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion 595i BR 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 8 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Explorer 602 CC 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
