Matching a modified vee Campion Allante 505 BR 2011 against a tunnel Campion Infinyte i3 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Campion Allante 505 BR 2011 measures 16,6 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 4,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Infinyte i3 2012 at 12,0 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Allante 505 BR 2011 tips the scales at 128 lbs — 110 lbs more than the Campion Infinyte i3 2012 at 18 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 125 hp, the Campion Allante 505 BR 2011 has a 115-hp advantage over the Campion Infinyte i3 2012's 10-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Campion Allante 505 BR 2011 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Campion Infinyte i3 2012 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Allante 505 BR 2011 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Campion Allante 505 BR 2011 comes in at 1 lbs per hp versus 2 lbs per hp for the Campion Infinyte i3 2012. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
