Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Allante 485 Forster 2013 vs Campion Infinyte i4 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Campion Allante 485 Forster 2013 against a catamaran Campion Infinyte i4 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 Allante 485 Forster 2013 at 16,1 ft versus Campion Infinyte i4 2012 at 14,0 ft. At 94 lbs and 71 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.
The Campion Allante 485 Forster 2013 carries a rated maximum of 90 hp. Engine data for the Campion Infinyte i4 2012 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
Both boats are rated for 5 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Campion Allante 485 Forster 2013 at 16,1 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Campion Infinyte i4 2012 at 14,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
