Matching a modified vee Campion 700i BR 2009 against a deep vee Campion Explorer 622 WA 2012 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion 700i BR 2009 at 26,0 ft versus Campion Explorer 622 WA 2012 at 23,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion 700i BR 2009 tips the scales at 455 lbs — 193 lbs more than the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2012 at 262 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 425 hp, the Campion 700i BR 2009 has a 200-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2012's 225-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 69 gal and 71 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Campion Explorer 622 WA 2012 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Campion 700i BR 2009 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2012 could be the deciding factor.
