The Campion 682B SC 2005 vs Campion Allante 505ob 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 682B SC 2005 measures 22,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 5,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Allante 505ob 2013 at 16,6 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion 682B SC 2005 tips the scales at 3 640 lbs - 2 250 lbs more than the Campion Allante 505ob 2013 at 1 390 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 250 hp, the Campion 682B SC 2005 has a 125-hp advantage over the Campion Allante 505ob 2013's 125-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 682B SC 2005 carries 104 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Campion Allante 505ob 2013. 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.
