Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion 622i Sedan 2006 vs Campion Explorer 822 BRA 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Campion 622i Sedan 2006 vs Campion Explorer 822 BRA 2013 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 822 BRA 2013 measures 30,3 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 9,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion 622i Sedan 2006 at 21,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 822 BRA 2013 tips the scales at 7 877 lbs — 7 506 lbs less than the Campion 622i Sedan 2006 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 350 hp, the Campion Explorer 822 BRA 2013 has a 125-hp advantage over the Campion 622i Sedan 2006's 225-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Campion Explorer 822 BRA 2013 carries 147 gallons versus 50 gallons in the Campion 622i Sedan 2006. 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 622i Sedan 2006 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 822 BRA 2013 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion 622i Sedan 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion 622i Sedan 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Explorer 822 BRA 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
