Matching a deep vee Campion Allante 545i 2012 against a modified vee Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 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 Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 measures 23,5 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 3,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Allante 545i 2012 at 20,2 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 tips the scales at 4 392 lbs — 1 506 lbs less than the Campion Allante 545i 2012 at 2 886 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 225 hp for the Campion Allante 545i 2012 and 225 hp for the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 carries 71 gallons versus 29 gallons in the Campion Allante 545i 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
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.
Bottom line: The Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 at 23,5 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Campion Allante 545i 2012 at 20,2 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.
