Both the Bryant 233 2012 and the Bryant 246 2013 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so 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 233 2012 at 23,3 ft versus Bryant 246 2013 at 24,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Bryant 246 2013 tips the scales at 3 820 lbs - 290 lbs less than the Bryant 233 2012 at 3 530 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 233 2012 carries a rated maximum of 320 hp. Engine data for the Bryant 246 2013 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Bryant 246 2013 carries 49 gallons versus 42 gallons in the Bryant 233 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
