Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 vs Campion Svfara SV3 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 is a modified-V design and the Campion Svfara SV3 2013 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 at 23,5 ft versus Campion Svfara SV3 2013 at 25,6 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 tips the scales at 4 392 lbs - 192 lbs more than the Campion Svfara SV3 2013 at 4 200 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 420 hp, the Campion Svfara SV3 2013 has a 195-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011'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 622 SD BRA 2011 carries 71 gallons versus 60 gallons in the Campion Svfara SV3 2013. 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 Svfara SV3 2013 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Svfara SV3 2013 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Campion Svfara SV3 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 25,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 vs Campion Svfara SV3 2013 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 or the Campion Svfara SV3 2013?
The Campion Svfara SV3 2013 is the longer of the two at 25,6 feet overall. The Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 comes in at 23,5 feet, making it roughly 2,1 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 or the Campion Svfara SV3 2013?
For trailering, the Campion Svfara SV3 2013 has the edge at 4 200 lbs dry weight versus 4 392 lbs for the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Campion Svfara SV3 2013 is rated to a maximum of 420 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 tops out at 225 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 8 passengers, while the Campion Svfara SV3 2013 is certified for 10. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Campion Svfara SV3 2013 measures 102" wide, compared to 96" for the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 or the Campion Svfara SV3 2013?
The Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 has the bigger tank at 71 gallons, versus 60 gallons on the Campion Svfara SV3 2013. That 10-gallon difference translates to roughly 31–52 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 and Campion Svfara SV3 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Campion Explorer 622 SD BRA 2011 and the Campion Svfara SV3 2013 are built by Campion. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
