Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion 700i BR 2009 vs Campion Svfara SV3 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Campion 700i BR 2009 against a deep vee Campion Svfara SV3 2013 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 Svfara SV3 2013 at 25,6 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion 700i BR 2009 tips the scales at 455 lbs — 413 lbs more than the Campion Svfara SV3 2013 at 42 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 425 hp for the Campion 700i BR 2009 and 420 hp for the Campion Svfara SV3 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Campion 700i BR 2009 carries 69 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Campion Svfara SV3 2013. 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 700i BR 2009 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Campion Svfara SV3 2013 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion 700i BR 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion 700i BR 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 26,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Svfara SV3 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
