Campion 600 OB BR 2009 vs Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010 — Which Modified Vee Fits Your Needs?

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Campion 600 OB BR 2009 and the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — 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?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010 measures 25,7 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 23,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion 600 OB BR 2009 at 2,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion 600 OB BR 2009 tips the scales at 2 346 lbs — 1 889 lbs more than the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010 at 457 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 — 300 hp for the Campion 600 OB BR 2009 and 320 hp for the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010. 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 682i SC 2010 carries 104 gallons versus 47 gallons in the Campion 600 OB BR 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 1 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

Bottom line: The Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010 at 25,7 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Campion 600 OB BR 2009 at 2,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.

Campion 600 OB BR 2009 vs Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Campion 600 OB BR 2009 or the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010?
The Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010 is the longer of the two at 25,7 feet overall. The Campion 600 OB BR 2009 comes in at 2,0 feet, making it roughly 23,7 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Campion 600 OB BR 2009 or the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010?
For trailering, the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010 has the edge at 457 lbs dry weight versus 2 346 lbs for the Campion 600 OB BR 2009. 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 Explorer 682i SC 2010 is rated to a maximum of 320 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Campion 600 OB BR 2009 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 600 OB BR 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 1 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010 is certified for 1. 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 682i SC 2010 measures 102" wide, compared to 98" for the Campion 600 OB BR 2009. 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 600 OB BR 2009 or the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010?
The Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010 has the bigger tank at 104 gallons, versus 47 gallons on the Campion 600 OB BR 2009. That 56-gallon difference translates to roughly 170–284 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Campion 600 OB BR 2009 and Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Campion 600 OB BR 2009 and the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2010 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.
