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.

Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 vs Campion LX 925 MC 2009 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 or the Campion LX 925 MC 2009?
The Campion LX 925 MC 2009 is the longer of the two at 30,0 feet overall. The Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 comes in at 23,5 feet, making it roughly 6,5 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 or the Campion LX 925 MC 2009?
For trailering, the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 has the edge at 4 392 lbs dry weight versus 10 460 lbs for the Campion LX 925 MC 2009. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Campion LX 925 MC 2009 is rated to a maximum of 640 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 tops out at 225 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion LX 925 MC 2009 is certified for 10. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Campion LX 925 MC 2009 measures 124" wide, compared to 96" for the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 or the Campion LX 925 MC 2009?
The Campion LX 925 MC 2009 has the bigger tank at 111 gallons, versus 50 gallons on the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011. That 60-gallon difference translates to roughly 182–303 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 and Campion LX 925 MC 2009 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Campion Explorer 622i SD 2011 and the Campion LX 925 MC 2009 are built by Campion. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
