Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Explorer 622 WA 2011 vs Campion LS 645i BR 2005: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Campion Explorer 622 WA 2011 vs Campion LS 645i BR 2005 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 2011 at 23,5 ft versus Campion LS 645i BR 2005 at 21,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion LS 645i BR 2005 tips the scales at 3 700 lbs - 1 080 lbs less than the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2011 at 2 620 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 645i BR 2005 has a 95-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 622 WA 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 WA 2011 carries 71 gallons versus 51 gallons in the Campion LS 645i BR 2005. 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 622 WA 2011 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Campion LS 645i BR 2005 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 8 passengers and at 23,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion LS 645i BR 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
