Matching a modified vee Campion 800i SC 2009 against a deep vee Campion Svfara SV3 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 800i SC 2009 at 28,0 ft versus Campion Svfara SV3 2012 at 25,6 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion 800i SC 2009 tips the scales at 4 855 lbs — 4 813 lbs more than the Campion Svfara SV3 2012 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 460 hp, the Campion 800i SC 2009 has a 40-hp advantage over the Campion Svfara SV3 2012's 420-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 800i SC 2009 carries 63 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Campion Svfara SV3 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 800i SC 2009 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Campion Svfara SV3 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 800i SC 2009 could be the deciding factor.
