Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Allante 705i SC 2011 vs Campion Explorer 682br SC 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Campion Allante 705i SC 2011 against a deep vee Campion Explorer 682br SC 2012 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 705i SC 2011 at 26,2 ft versus Campion Explorer 682br SC 2012 at 25,7 ft. At 455 lbs and 364 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 SC 2011 and 300 hp for the Campion Explorer 682br SC 2012. 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 682br SC 2012 carries 104 gallons versus 69 gallons in the Campion Allante 705i SC 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 9 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: Performance buyers should lean toward the Campion Allante 705i SC 2011 and its 320-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Campion Explorer 682br SC 2012 with its 300-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
