Matching a modified vee Campion 705i BR 2009 against a deep vee Campion Explorer 622br SD 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 705i BR 2009 at 26,0 ft versus Campion Explorer 622br SD 2012 at 23,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion 705i BR 2009 tips the scales at 4 627 lbs — 4 380 lbs more than the Campion Explorer 622br SD 2012 at 247 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 705i BR 2009 has a 95-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 622br SD 2012's 225-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 705i BR 2009 carries 69 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Campion Explorer 622br SD 2012. 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 705i BR 2009 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 622br SD 2012 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion 705i BR 2009 could be the deciding factor.
