Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion 60b SC OB 2005 vs Campion Explorer EX20 OB SC 2022: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Campion 60b SC OB 2005 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Campion 60b SC OB 2005 at 20,0 ft versus Campion Explorer EX20 OB SC 2022 at 23,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer EX20 OB SC 2022 tips the scales at 2 800 lbs - 330 lbs less than the Campion 60b SC OB 2005 at 2 470 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 250 hp, the Campion Explorer EX20 OB SC 2022 has a 25-hp advantage over the Campion 60b SC OB 2005'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 - 60 gal and 60 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 60b SC OB 2005 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.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Explorer EX20 OB SC 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 7 passengers and at 23,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion 60b SC OB 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
