Matching a deep vee Campion Allante 485ob 2013 against a modified vee Campion S 565i BR 2008 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 485ob 2013 at 16,1 ft versus Campion S 565i BR 2008 at 19,0 ft. At 94 lbs and 19 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 175 hp, the Campion S 565i BR 2008 has a 85-hp advantage over the Campion Allante 485ob 2013's 90-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 S 565i BR 2008 carries 28 gallons versus 13 gallons in the Campion Allante 485ob 2013. 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 S 565i BR 2008 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Campion Allante 485ob 2013 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion S 565i BR 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion S 565i BR 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 19,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Allante 485ob 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
