Matching a deep vee Campion Allante 545 2013 against a modified vee Campion Allante 545i BR 2010 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 545 2013 at 20,2 ft versus Campion Allante 545i BR 2010 at 20,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Allante 545i BR 2010 tips the scales at 2 886 lbs — 2 884 lbs less than the Campion Allante 545 2013 at 2 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 225 hp, the Campion Allante 545i BR 2010 has a 25-hp advantage over the Campion Allante 545 2013's 200-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 29 gal and 29 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

Both boats are rated for 8 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.
