The Campion 602 SC BRA 2009 vs Campion 602b SC 2006 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 602 SC BRA 2009 measures 23,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 21,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion 602b SC 2006 at 2,0 feet (2006). At 247 lbs and 247 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 225 hp for the Campion 602 SC BRA 2009 and 225 hp for the Campion 602b SC 2006. 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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 6 gal and 6 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 7 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 602 SC BRA 2009 at 23,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Campion 602b SC 2006 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.
