Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Explorer 622i SD 2010 vs Campion LS 645i BR 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Campion Explorer 622i SD 2010 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 622i SD 2010 at 23,5 ft versus Campion LS 645i BR 2005 at 21,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2010 tips the scales at 4 392 lbs — 4 355 lbs more than the Campion LS 645i BR 2005 at 37 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 622i SD 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 — 50 gal and 51 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Campion Explorer 622i SD 2010 is rated for 9 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 622i SD 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 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.
