Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bryant 206 2007 vs Bryant 220 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Bryant 206 2007 vs Bryant 220 2011 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 220 2011 measures 22,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 20,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Bryant 206 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Bryant 206 2007 tips the scales at 334 lbs — 301 lbs more than the Bryant 220 2011 at 33 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 — 6 hp for the Bryant 206 2007 and 6 hp for the Bryant 220 2011. 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 206 2007 carries 49 gallons versus 42 gallons in the Bryant 220 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
The Bryant 206 2007 is rated for up to 6 people. Passenger data for the Bryant 220 2011 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Bryant 220 2011 at 22,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Bryant 206 2007 at 2,0 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.
