The Campion 602i SC 2006 vs Campion Explorer EX20 OB SC 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 EX20 OB SC 2022 measures 23,0 feet overall (2022), giving it roughly 21,0 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 EX20 OB SC 2022 tips the scales at 2 800 lbs — 2 763 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 70-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer EX20 OB SC 2022's 250-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 EX20 OB SC 2022 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 EX20 OB SC 2022 could be the deciding factor.
