Campion Explorer 822br 2012 vs Campion Infinyte i3 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a deep vee Campion Explorer 822br 2012 against a tunnel Campion Infinyte i3 2012 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Campion Explorer 822br 2012 measures 30,3 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 18,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion Infinyte i3 2012 at 12,0 feet (2012). At 66 lbs and 18 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 350 hp, the Campion Explorer 822br 2012 has a 340-hp advantage over the Campion Infinyte i3 2012's 10-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Campion Infinyte i3 2012 is rated for 3 passengers, while the Campion Explorer 822br 2012 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Infinyte i3 2012 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Campion Infinyte i3 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 3 passengers and at 12,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion Explorer 822br 2012 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 822br 2012 vs Campion Infinyte i3 2012 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Campion Explorer 822br 2012 or the Campion Infinyte i3 2012?
The Campion Explorer 822br 2012 is the longer of the two at 30,3 feet overall. The Campion Infinyte i3 2012 comes in at 12,0 feet, making it roughly 18,3 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Campion Explorer 822br 2012 or the Campion Infinyte i3 2012?
For trailering, the Campion Infinyte i3 2012 has the edge at 18 lbs dry weight versus 66 lbs for the Campion Explorer 822br 2012. 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 Explorer 822br 2012 is rated to a maximum of 350 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Campion Infinyte i3 2012 tops out at 10 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 822br 2012 is Coast Guard rated for 1 passengers, while the Campion Infinyte i3 2012 is certified for 3. 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 822br 2012 measures 114" wide, compared to 66" for the Campion Infinyte i3 2012. 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.
Are the Campion Explorer 822br 2012 and Campion Infinyte i3 2012 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Campion Explorer 822br 2012 and the Campion Infinyte i3 2012 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.
