Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion 682i SC 2009 vs Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Campion 682i SC 2009 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 682i SC 2009 at 25,0 ft versus Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 at 22,9 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 tips the scales at 2 880 lbs — 2 423 lbs less than the Campion 682i SC 2009 at 457 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 682i SC 2009 carries a rated maximum of 320 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 682i SC 2009 carries 104 gallons versus 71 gallons in the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022. 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 Explorer EX22 DC 2022 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Campion 682i SC 2009 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 22,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion 682i SC 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
