Campion boats

[saanauk]

Looking at a newer campion and was wondering what people thought. Seem to lack a little in fit and finish.

My brother has a Campion Explorer (outboard) a couple of years old - I think it is 18.5' or so...still the current model...it has the self draining floor and a cuddy cabin. Anyway, this is his second Campion and he bought it new after researching and looking at quite a few boats. He is using it mostly for fishing and his final choice was between a new traditional Double Eagle of the same size and the Campion. While the Double Eagle was probably a better rough water boat it had a number of rough edges and lacked the comfort and finish of the Campion. Both his boats have had no problems and both have held up well.

Incidently, the Campion was a couple grand more expensive than the Double Eagle so he got what he paid for.

I had a Campion 542 Explorer (2003) for 6 years before I got 2' itis and moved up to a 2101 WA Striper. The Campion was a great boat. Easy to trailer and a decent platform for fishing. Fit and finish on mine, at least, was very good. Biggest issue I had was that the Cuddy wasn't good for much other than storage.

I just parted with my 622WA and it was an awesome boat, no complaints at all!
wouldnt hesitate to recomend 1 to anybody, only non-complaint I may have had was it only had a 50 gal fuel tank
2 foot itis got the best of me is why we parted
