The Campion 622i Sedan 2005 vs Campion Explorer 622i SD 2012 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 622i Sedan 2005 at 22,0 ft versus Campion Explorer 622i SD 2012 at 23,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2012 tips the scales at 4 392 lbs — 4 021 lbs less than the Campion 622i Sedan 2005 at 371 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 225 hp for the Campion 622i Sedan 2005 and 225 hp for the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2012. 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 — 50 gal and 50 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Campion Explorer 622i SD 2012 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion 622i Sedan 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 622i SD 2012 could be the deciding factor.
