Matching a modified vee Campion 705i SC 2009 against a deep vee Campion Explorer 682i SC 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 SC 2009 at 26,0 ft versus Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 at 25,7 ft. At 455 lbs and 457 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 320 hp for the Campion 705i SC 2009 and 320 hp for the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012. 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 Explorer 682i SC 2012 carries 104 gallons versus 69 gallons in the Campion 705i SC 2009. 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 SC 2009 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion 705i SC 2009 could be the deciding factor.
