Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Bryant 210 2013 vs Bryant 246 2008 — A Close Look at Two Modified Vees
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Bryant 210 2013 and the Bryant 246 2008 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 210 2013 at 21,0 ft versus Bryant 246 2008 at 24,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Bryant 210 2013 tips the scales at 3 075 lbs — 2 693 lbs more than the Bryant 246 2008 at 382 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.
The Bryant 246 2008 tops out at 8 hp. Engine specs for the Bryant 210 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Bryant 246 2008 carries 49 gallons versus 31 gallons in the Bryant 210 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Bryant 246 2008 at 24,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Bryant 210 2013 at 21,0 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.
