Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 vs Campion Explorer 622br SD 2012 — A Close Look at Two Deep Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 and the Campion Explorer 622br SD 2012 are deep vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 at 23,1 ft versus Campion Explorer 622br SD 2012 at 23,1 ft. At 247 lbs and 247 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 — 225 hp for the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 and 225 hp for the Campion Explorer 622br SD 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. 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.

Bottom line: The Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 and Campion Explorer 622br SD 2012 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.

The Campion Explorer 622br SD 2012 is the longer of the two at 23,1 feet overall. The Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 comes in at 23,1 feet, making it roughly 0,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

Both the Campion Explorer 602 SC BRA 2012 and Campion Explorer 622br SD 2012 share an 7 ft. 8 in. (2.34 m) beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
