Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 vs Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012: A Close Look at Two Deep-V Boats

Both the Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 and the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 are deep-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 at 25,1 ft versus Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 at 25,7 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 tips the scales at 4 570 lbs - 533 lbs less than the Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 at 4 037 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 380 hp, the Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 has a 60-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012's 320-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 682i SC 2012 carries 104 gallons versus 56 gallons in the Campion Allante 645i BR 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 Explorer 682i SC 2012 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 25,7 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 vs Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 or the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012?
The Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 is the longer of the two at 25,7 feet overall. The Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 comes in at 25,1 feet, making it roughly 0,6 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 or the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012?
For trailering, the Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 has the edge at 4 037 lbs dry weight versus 4 570 lbs for the Campion Explorer 682i 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 645i BR 2013 is rated to a maximum of 380 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 tops out at 320 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 645i BR 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 is certified for 10. 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.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 and Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 share an 8 ft. 6 in. (2.59 m) beam - meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 or the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012?
The Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 has the bigger tank at 104 gallons, versus 56 gallons on the Campion Allante 645i BR 2013. That 47-gallon difference translates to roughly 142–237 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 and Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Campion Allante 645i BR 2013 and the Campion Explorer 682i SC 2012 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.
