Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 vs Campion LS 645i BR 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 vs Campion LS 645i BR 2007 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 682i SC BRA 2010 at 25,7 ft versus Campion LS 645i BR 2007 at 23,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion LS 645i BR 2007 tips the scales at 4 037 lbs — 3 673 lbs less than the Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010 at 364 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 2007 has a 70-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 682i SC BRA 2010's 250-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 682i SC BRA 2010 carries 104 gallons versus 56 gallons in the Campion LS 645i BR 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 9 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 682i SC BRA 2010 at 25,7 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Campion LS 645i BR 2007 at 23,0 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.
