Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 vs Campion LX 925 MC 2009: Which Modified-V Boat Fits Your Needs?
Both the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 and the Campion LX 925 MC 2009 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Campion LX 925 MC 2009 measures 30,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 6,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 at 23,5 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion LX 925 MC 2009 tips the scales at 10 460 lbs - 6 068 lbs less than the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 at 4 392 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 640 hp, the Campion LX 925 MC 2009 has a 415-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 622i SD 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 LX 925 MC 2009 carries 111 gallons versus 50 gallons in the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011. 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 LX 925 MC 2009 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion LX 925 MC 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion LX 925 MC 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 30,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
