Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Allante 705i SC 2013 vs Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Campion Allante 705i SC 2013 against a modified vee Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 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 822 SC BRA 2010 measures 30,3 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 4,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Allante 705i SC 2013 at 26,2 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Allante 705i SC 2013 tips the scales at 455 lbs — 389 lbs more than the Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 at 66 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 430 hp, the Campion Allante 705i SC 2013 has a 80-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010's 350-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 822 SC BRA 2010 carries 147 gallons versus 69 gallons in the Campion Allante 705i SC 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 Allante 705i SC 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Allante 705i SC 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Allante 705i SC 2013 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 Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
