Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion 650i BR 2005 vs Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Campion 650i BR 2005 vs Campion Explorer EX22 DC 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 650i BR 2005 at 21,0 ft versus Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 at 22,9 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion 650i BR 2005 tips the scales at 3 700 lbs - 820 lbs more than the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 at 2 880 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 Campion 650i BR 2005 carries a rated maximum of 375 hp. Engine data for the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 carries 71 gallons versus 51 gallons in the Campion 650i BR 2005. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 6 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 650i BR 2005 and Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 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.
