Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012 vs Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012 is a deep-V design and the Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 595ob SC 2012 at 21,0 ft versus Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011 at 22,3 ft. At 2 346 lbs and 2 300 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 300 hp, the Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012 has a 75-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011's 225-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 Explorer 602 CC 2011 carries 64 gallons versus 47 gallons in the Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012. 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 Allante 595ob SC 2012 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012 vs Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012 or the Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011?
The Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011 is the longer of the two at 22,3 feet overall. The Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012 comes in at 21,0 feet, making it roughly 1,3 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012 or the Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011?
For trailering, the Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011 has the edge at 2 300 lbs dry weight versus 2 346 lbs for the Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012 is rated to a maximum of 300 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011 tops out at 225 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012 is Coast Guard rated for 10 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011 is certified for 7. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012 measures 98" wide, compared to 92" for the Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012 or the Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011?
The Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011 has the bigger tank at 64 gallons, versus 47 gallons on the Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012. That 16-gallon difference translates to roughly 49–82 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012 and Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Campion Allante 595ob SC 2012 and the Campion Explorer 602 CC 2011 are built by Campion. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
