When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Bryant 233 2013 and the Bryant 246 2012 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 233 2013 at 23,3 ft versus Bryant 246 2012 at 24,5 ft. At 353 lbs and 382 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 246 2012 tops out at 430 hp. Engine specs for the Bryant 233 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Bryant 246 2012 carries 49 gallons versus 42 gallons in the Bryant 233 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
