Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Explorer 822 BRA 2013 vs Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Campion Explorer 822 BRA 2013 against a modified vee Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Campion Explorer 822 BRA 2013 at 30,3 ft versus Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 at 30,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer 822 BRA 2013 tips the scales at 7 877 lbs — 7 811 lbs more than the Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 at 66 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 350 hp for the Campion Explorer 822 BRA 2013 and 350 hp for the Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 147 gal and 147 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 1 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 822 BRA 2013 and Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
