When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Bryant 198W 2013 and the Bryant 220 2013 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Bryant 198W 2013 at 19,7 ft versus Bryant 220 2013 at 22,0 ft. At 283 lbs and 314 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 198W 2013 is rated for up to 5 people. Passenger data for the Bryant 220 2013 wasn't available.
