Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion Explorer EX24 BRA SC 2022 vs Campion S 505i BR 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Campion Explorer EX24 BRA SC 2022 vs Campion S 505i 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Campion Explorer EX24 BRA SC 2022 measures 26,3 feet overall (2022), giving it roughly 10,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion S 505i BR 2007 at 16,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion Explorer EX24 BRA SC 2022 tips the scales at 3 640 lbs — 1 666 lbs more than the Campion S 505i BR 2007 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Campion Explorer EX24 BRA SC 2022 has a 165-hp advantage over the Campion S 505i BR 2007's 135-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 EX24 BRA SC 2022 carries 107 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Campion S 505i BR 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 Explorer EX24 BRA SC 2022 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Campion S 505i BR 2007 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Explorer EX24 BRA SC 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion Explorer EX24 BRA SC 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 26,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion S 505i BR 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
