Bryant 190 2006 vs Bryant 198W 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bryant 190 2006 vs Bryant 198W 2013 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Bryant 190 2006 at 18,0 ft versus Bryant 198W 2013 at 19,7 ft. At 2 760 lbs and 2 830 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class - either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Bryant 190 2006 carries a rated maximum of 4 hp. Engine data for the Bryant 198W 2013 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 31 gal and 31 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 5 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Bryant 190 2006 and Bryant 198W 2013 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
