The Bryant 190 2007 vs Bryant 246 2010 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 Bryant 246 2010 measures 24,5 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 6,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Bryant 190 2007 at 18,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Bryant 246 2010 tips the scales at 382 lbs — 106 lbs less than the Bryant 190 2007 at 276 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 4 hp for the Bryant 190 2007 and 8 hp for the Bryant 246 2010. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Bryant 246 2010 carries 49 gallons versus 31 gallons in the Bryant 190 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
The Bryant 190 2007 is rated for up to 5 people. Passenger data for the Bryant 246 2010 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Bryant 246 2010 at 24,5 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Bryant 190 2007 at 18,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
