Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Campion LX 825i MC 2007 vs Campion S 505 BR 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Campion LX 825i MC 2007 vs Campion S 505 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 LX 825i MC 2007 measures 27,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 11,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Campion S 505 BR 2007 at 16,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Campion LX 825i MC 2007 tips the scales at 8 422 lbs — 8 294 lbs more than the Campion S 505 BR 2007 at 128 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 825i MC 2007 has a 300-hp advantage over the Campion S 505 BR 2007's 125-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 825i MC 2007 carries 111 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Campion S 505 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 LX 825i MC 2007 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Campion S 505 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 LX 825i MC 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Campion LX 825i MC 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 27,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Campion S 505 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.
