Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Explorer 552i SC 2012 vs Campion Infinyte i2 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Campion Explorer 552i SC 2012 against a tunnel Campion Infinyte i2 2013 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 552i SC 2012 measures 20,8 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 11,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Infinyte i2 2013 at 9,3 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 552i SC 2012 tips the scales at 3 171 lbs — 3 162 lbs more than the Campion Infinyte i2 2013 at 9 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 Campion Explorer 552i SC 2012 carries a rated maximum of 225 hp. Engine data for the Campion Infinyte i2 2013 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Campion Explorer 552i SC 2012 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Campion Infinyte i2 2013 caps at 2. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Explorer 552i SC 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Explorer 552i SC 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 20,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Infinyte i2 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 2 that costs less to run day-to-day.
