The Campion 602i SC 2006 vs Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2013 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 622 SD BRA 2013 measures 23,1 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 21,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion 602i SC 2006 at 2,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2013 tips the scales at 247 lbs — 210 lbs less than the Campion 602i SC 2006 at 37 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 602i SC 2006 has a 95-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2013's 225-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 6 gal and 6 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Campion 602i SC 2006 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 23,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion 602i SC 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
