The Campion 622 Walkaround 2007 vs Campion 622i Walkaround 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 622 Walkaround 2007 at 23,0 ft versus Campion 622i Walkaround 2005 at 22,0 ft. At 262 lbs and 342 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 Walkaround 2007 and 225 hp for the Campion 622i Walkaround 2005. 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Campion 622 Walkaround 2007 carries 71 gallons versus 50 gallons in the Campion 622i Walkaround 2005. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Campion 622 Walkaround 2007 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Campion 622i Walkaround 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 622 Walkaround 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion 622 Walkaround 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 23,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion 622i Walkaround 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.
