[Guest]

Guys, i have been offered an opportunity to gain on someones loss . The gain in this would be a Campion 925, has anyone heard of these boats? Im goin to research myself tonight but i thought i would hit you all first. Any pros cons ? I have never heard of this manufacturer.

Campion has been around quite a few years - they are located in Kelowna, BC Canada. My previous boat was a 1978 26' Campion Toba flybride, 350cu block marinized by Volvo, Volvo Penta 280 outdrive. Owned it for 18 years before buying the 38 Bay. My buddy had a 1978 24' Campion Haida flybridge for 15 years before buying a 2858 Bayliner. They made a lot of smaller runabout boats too.

Here is a link to their website: http://www.campionboats.com/boat/model-925/

I had a friend that had one it seemed like a good strong boat. For its size it did seem a little heavy.

They are made in Canada.

Very nice quality.

I almost traded in our 3055 at the end of 2002 on thier 30' Cruiser. The marina had 1 left on close out, $95,000. Not sure about under powered as this one had twin Merc's with Bravo 3 and stated max speed of 50+. On our sea trial, a very cold October day in MI with all canvas up we hit low 40's.

thanks guys, this one is about 40 mins away , he says it is perfect. we have been wanting to move to the 3055 , not sure if im financially ready for a 50,000.00 jump . which is what he is asking . its an 2004 campion alante 925i. he says it has 180 hrs. I did some research last night looks like they are smilar to the Doral in quality. Im gona chek it out but it is a little outa my pricerange and we just bought some upgrades for our 2655 we are really looking forward to this season, i definitley cant afford 2 boats! Thanks for replies.

I owned two of them....a 23 foot fly bridge version and a 25 foot sun bridge which I bought brand new. Great boats, well built. The only reason I didn't buy a third one is that they didn't make anything big enough at the time.

From a space point of view more like a 2855 not like a 3055. Hi quality Kelvar hull Volvo power worth the drive.

The Doral is balsa cored hull so you need to really do a moisture survey has this can be big trouble if damaged.

Campion did not use balsa in the past......not sure now!
