Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion 622 WA 2009 vs Campion Explorer 622 WA 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Campion 622 WA 2009 against a deep vee Campion Explorer 622 WA 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion 622 WA 2009 at 23,0 ft versus Campion Explorer 622 WA 2013 at 23,5 ft. At 262 lbs and 262 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 622 WA 2009 and 225 hp for the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2013. 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 — 71 gal and 71 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 8 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 622 WA 2009 and Campion Explorer 622 WA 2013 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
