When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2010 and the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2011 are modified 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 622 SD BRA 2010 at 23,5 ft versus Campion Explorer 622 WA 2011 at 23,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2010 tips the scales at 4 392 lbs — 4 130 lbs more than the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2011 at 262 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 225 hp for the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2010 and 225 hp for the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2011. 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 — 71 gal and 71 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

Both boats are rated for 8 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.
