The Campion Allante A23 IO SC 2022 vs Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2013 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 A23 IO SC 2022 at 25,1 ft versus Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2013 at 23,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Allante A23 IO SC 2022 tips the scales at 4 037 lbs — 3 790 lbs more than the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2013 at 247 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 A23 IO SC 2022 has a 155-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2013's 225-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 6 gal and 6 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

Both boats are rated for 7 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.
