Both the Bryant 239 2009 and the Bryant 246 2009 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 239 2009 at 23,0 ft versus Bryant 246 2009 at 24,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Bryant 246 2009 tips the scales at 3 820 lbs - 330 lbs less than the Bryant 239 2009 at 3 490 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 239 2009 and 8 hp for the Bryant 246 2009. 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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 49 gal and 49 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Bottom line: The Bryant 239 2009 and Bryant 246 2009 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
