The Campion 682B SC 2006 vs Campion LS 645i SC 2008 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 682B SC 2006 at 23,0 ft versus Campion LS 645i SC 2008 at 23,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion LS 645i SC 2008 tips the scales at 4 037 lbs — 3 673 lbs less than the Campion 682B SC 2006 at 364 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 320 hp, the Campion LS 645i SC 2008 has a 70-hp advantage over the Campion 682B SC 2006'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 682B SC 2006 carries 104 gallons versus 56 gallons in the Campion LS 645i SC 2008. 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.
