Campion LS 705i SC 2007 vs Campion Svfara SV3 2012: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Campion LS 705i SC 2007 vs Campion Svfara SV3 2012 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Campion LS 705i SC 2007 at 26,0 ft versus Campion Svfara SV3 2012 at 25,6 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion LS 705i SC 2007 tips the scales at 4 550 lbs - 350 lbs more than the Campion Svfara SV3 2012 at 4 200 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 420 hp, the Campion Svfara SV3 2012 has a 100-hp advantage over the Campion LS 705i SC 2007's 320-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 LS 705i SC 2007 carries 69 gallons versus 60 gallons in the Campion Svfara SV3 2012. 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 Svfara SV3 2012 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Campion LS 705i SC 2007 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion Svfara SV3 2012 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Campion Svfara SV3 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 25,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion LS 705i SC 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Campion LS 705i SC 2007 vs Campion Svfara SV3 2012 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Campion LS 705i SC 2007 or the Campion Svfara SV3 2012?
The Campion LS 705i SC 2007 is the longer of the two at 26,0 feet overall. The Campion Svfara SV3 2012 comes in at 25,6 feet, making it roughly 0,4 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Campion LS 705i SC 2007 or the Campion Svfara SV3 2012?
For trailering, the Campion Svfara SV3 2012 has the edge at 4 200 lbs dry weight versus 4 550 lbs for the Campion LS 705i SC 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 Svfara SV3 2012 is rated to a maximum of 420 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Campion LS 705i SC 2007 tops out at 320 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 LS 705i SC 2007 is Coast Guard rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion Svfara SV3 2012 is certified for 10. 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.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Campion LS 705i SC 2007 and Campion Svfara SV3 2012 share an 8 ft. 6 in. (2.59 m) beam - meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Campion LS 705i SC 2007 or the Campion Svfara SV3 2012?
The Campion LS 705i SC 2007 has the bigger tank at 69 gallons, versus 60 gallons on the Campion Svfara SV3 2012. That 9-gallon difference translates to roughly 27–46 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Campion LS 705i SC 2007 and Campion Svfara SV3 2012 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Campion LS 705i SC 2007 and the Campion Svfara SV3 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.
