Campion 602b SC 2008 vs Campion LS 705i BR 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Campion 602b SC 2008 vs Campion LS 705i BR 2005 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion 602b SC 2008 at 23,0 ft versus Campion LS 705i BR 2005 at 24,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion LS 705i BR 2005 tips the scales at 4 627 lbs — 4 380 lbs less than the Campion 602b SC 2008 at 247 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 LS 705i BR 2005 has a 95-hp advantage over the Campion 602b SC 2008'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 LS 705i BR 2005 carries 69 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Campion 602b SC 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

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: Performance buyers should lean toward the Campion LS 705i BR 2005 and its 320-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Campion 602b SC 2008 with its 225-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Campion 602b SC 2008 vs Campion LS 705i BR 2005 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Campion 602b SC 2008 or the Campion LS 705i BR 2005?
The Campion LS 705i BR 2005 is the longer of the two at 24,0 feet overall. The Campion 602b SC 2008 comes in at 23,0 feet, making it roughly 1,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Campion 602b SC 2008 or the Campion LS 705i BR 2005?
For trailering, the Campion 602b SC 2008 has the edge at 247 lbs dry weight versus 4 627 lbs for the Campion LS 705i BR 2005. 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 LS 705i BR 2005 is rated to a maximum of 320 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Campion 602b SC 2008 tops out at 225 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 602b SC 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 7 passengers, while the Campion LS 705i BR 2005 is certified for 7. 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 LS 705i BR 2005 measures 102" wide, compared to 92" for the Campion 602b SC 2008. 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 602b SC 2008 or the Campion LS 705i BR 2005?
The Campion LS 705i BR 2005 has the bigger tank at 69 gallons, versus 6 gallons on the Campion 602b SC 2008. That 63-gallon difference translates to roughly 189–316 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Campion 602b SC 2008 and Campion LS 705i BR 2005 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Campion 602b SC 2008 and the Campion LS 705i BR 2005 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.
