Campion boats...Any good?
 

Hi all,

Had a number of test drives today...Four Winns 180 Horizon, 190
Horizon and Larson 190 SEi. But I happen to chance a 2001 leftover
Campion in a marina I was driving by. Had never heard of them, so I
stopped?

Actually, the boat was pretty nice. Looked a lot like a Four Winns.
Salesperson pointed out a number of trinkets I never thought of, like
bolt construction versus a typical screw or self-tapping screw.

Anyway, anybody own one of these or know anything about the quality?

As someone said, good quality Canadian made boat. Made in Kelona, BC. More
popular here than a Bayliner (and MUCH better quality!). Had a 1983
Campion 18ft hardtop for a few years - very well built and good-running
boat.

I know I am resurrecting an old thread, I am a new member and curious about older Campions in the 24-26 foot range. Late 70's and early 80's.

I have seen a few advertised in the Vancouver area and there are a few things about them I really like. I was wondering if there are any know problems to look for in the older boats, particuarly in the fiberglass, it seems each manufacturer had a period where they were learning or trying something new and should be avoided.
I will appreciate any input.
