Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Allante 705i BR 2011 vs Campion LS 705i BR 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Campion Allante 705i BR 2011 vs Campion LS 705i BR 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion Allante 705i BR 2011 at 26,2 ft versus Campion LS 705i BR 2005 at 24,0 ft. At 4 627 lbs and 4 627 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 320 hp for the Campion Allante 705i BR 2011 and 320 hp for the Campion LS 705i BR 2005. 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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 69 gal and 69 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Campion Allante 705i BR 2011 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion LS 705i BR 2005 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 705i BR 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Allante 705i BR 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 26,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion LS 705i BR 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
