Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion LX 825 MC 2009 vs Campion S 535i BR 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Campion LX 825 MC 2009 vs Campion S 535i 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 LX 825 MC 2009 measures 27,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 9,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion S 535i BR 2006 at 18,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion LX 825 MC 2009 tips the scales at 8 422 lbs — 8 398 lbs more than the Campion S 535i BR 2006 at 24 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 825 MC 2009 has a 200-hp advantage over the Campion S 535i BR 2006's 225-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 LX 825 MC 2009 carries 111 gallons versus 29 gallons in the Campion S 535i BR 2006. 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 825 MC 2009 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Campion S 535i BR 2006 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Campion LX 825 MC 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion LX 825 MC 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 27,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion S 535i BR 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
