The Campion Explorer 622 WA 2012 vs Campion S 595i BR 2008 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 2012 at 23,5 ft versus Campion S 595i BR 2008 at 21,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2012 tips the scales at 262 lbs — 228 lbs more than the Campion S 595i BR 2008 at 34 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 S 595i BR 2008 has a 95-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 622 WA 2012'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 2012 carries 71 gallons versus 53 gallons in the Campion S 595i BR 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
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.
Bottom line: The Campion Explorer 622 WA 2012 at 23,5 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Campion S 595i BR 2008 at 21,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
