The Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 vs Campion S 505i BR 2006 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 EX22 DC 2022 measures 22,9 feet overall (2022), giving it roughly 6,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion S 505i BR 2006 at 16,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 tips the scales at 2 880 lbs — 906 lbs more than the Campion S 505i BR 2006 at 1 974 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 Campion S 505i BR 2006 tops out at 135 hp. Engine specs for the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Campion Explorer EX22 DC 2022 carries 71 gallons versus 19 gallons in the Campion S 505i BR 2006. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 6 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.
