The Campion 602 CC 2005 vs Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 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 EX22 DC 2022 measures 22,9 feet overall (2022), giving it roughly 20,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion 602 CC 2005 at 2,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 tips the scales at 2 880 lbs — 2 857 lbs less than the Campion 602 CC 2005 at 23 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 Campion 602 CC 2005 carries a rated maximum of 225 hp. Engine data for the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 carries 71 gallons versus 64 gallons in the Campion 602 CC 2005. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 6 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.
