Campion 650i SC 2009 vs Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 — A Close Look at Two Modified Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Campion 650i SC 2009 and the Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion 650i SC 2009 at 23,0 ft versus Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 at 25,7 ft. At 421 lbs and 364 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 375 hp, the Campion 650i SC 2009 has a 125-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010's 250-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 682i SC BRA 2010 carries 104 gallons versus 56 gallons in the Campion 650i SC 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 9 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 Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 at 25,7 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Campion 650i SC 2009 at 23,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.

Campion 650i SC 2009 vs Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Campion 650i SC 2009 or the Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010?
The Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 is the longer of the two at 25,7 feet overall. The Campion 650i SC 2009 comes in at 23,0 feet, making it roughly 2,7 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Campion 650i SC 2009 or the Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010?
For trailering, the Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 has the edge at 364 lbs dry weight versus 421 lbs for the Campion 650i SC 2009. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Campion 650i SC 2009 is rated to a maximum of 375 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 tops out at 250 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Campion 650i SC 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 is certified for 9. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Campion 650i SC 2009 and Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 share an 8 ft. 6 in. (2.59 m) beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Campion 650i SC 2009 or the Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010?
The Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 has the bigger tank at 104 gallons, versus 56 gallons on the Campion 650i SC 2009. That 47-gallon difference translates to roughly 142–237 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Campion 650i SC 2009 and Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Campion 650i SC 2009 and the Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 are built by Campion. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
