Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion 800i SC 2007 vs Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Campion 800i SC 2007 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Campion 800i SC 2007 measures 28,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 5,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 at 22,9 feet (2022). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion 800i SC 2007 tips the scales at 4 855 lbs — 1 975 lbs more than the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 at 2 880 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 800i SC 2007 carries a rated maximum of 460 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 Explorer EX22 DC 2022 carries 71 gallons versus 63 gallons in the Campion 800i SC 2007. 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 800i SC 2007 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion 800i SC 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion 800i SC 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 28,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
