Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 vs Campion LX 825i MC 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 vs Campion LX 825i MC 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 measures 30,3 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 3,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion LX 825i MC 2007 at 27,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion LX 825i MC 2007 tips the scales at 8 422 lbs — 8 356 lbs less 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 425 hp, the Campion LX 825i MC 2007 has a 75-hp advantage over the Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010's 350-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 822 SC BRA 2010 carries 147 gallons versus 111 gallons in the Campion LX 825i MC 2007. 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 825i MC 2007 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion LX 825i MC 2007 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Campion LX 825i MC 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 27,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 vs Campion LX 825i MC 2007 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 or the Campion LX 825i MC 2007?
The Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 is the longer of the two at 30,3 feet overall. The Campion LX 825i MC 2007 comes in at 27,0 feet, making it roughly 3,3 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 or the Campion LX 825i MC 2007?
For trailering, the Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 has the edge at 66 lbs dry weight versus 8 422 lbs for the Campion LX 825i MC 2007. 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 825i MC 2007 is rated to a maximum of 425 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 tops out at 350 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 822 SC BRA 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 1 passengers, while the Campion LX 825i MC 2007 is certified for 9. 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 Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 measures 114" wide, compared to 112" for the Campion LX 825i MC 2007. 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 822 SC BRA 2010 or the Campion LX 825i MC 2007?
The Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 has the bigger tank at 147 gallons, versus 111 gallons on the Campion LX 825i MC 2007. That 35-gallon difference translates to roughly 106–177 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 and Campion LX 825i MC 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Campion Explorer 822 SC BRA 2010 and the Campion LX 825i MC 2007 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.
