Both the Bryant 246 2013 and the Bryant 255 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 246 2013 at 24,5 ft versus Bryant 255 2013 at 25,4 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Bryant 255 2013 tips the scales at 4 460 lbs - 640 lbs less than the Bryant 246 2013 at 3 820 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.
