Matching a modified vee Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2010 against a deep vee Campion Explorer 822 BRA 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 822 BRA 2013 measures 30,3 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 7,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2010 at 23,1 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 822 BRA 2013 tips the scales at 7 877 lbs — 7 630 lbs less than the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2010 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 350 hp, the Campion Explorer 822 BRA 2013 has a 125-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2010's 225-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 BRA 2013 carries 147 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2010. 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 Explorer 602 SC BRA 2010 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 822 BRA 2013 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2010 could be the deciding factor.
