Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Explorer 622 WA 2010 vs Campion LS 705i BR 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Campion Explorer 622 WA 2010 vs Campion LS 705i BR 2006 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion Explorer 622 WA 2010 at 23,5 ft versus Campion LS 705i BR 2006 at 23,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion LS 705i BR 2006 tips the scales at 4 627 lbs — 4 365 lbs less than the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2010 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 320 hp, the Campion LS 705i BR 2006 has a 95-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2010's 225-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 71 gal and 69 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Campion LS 705i BR 2006 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2010 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion LS 705i BR 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion LS 705i BR 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 23,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Explorer 622 WA 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
