Bryant Boats

[mikestein]

I got a Bryant Boats promotional DVD in the mail yesterday. Wow. Not only do the boats seem high quality, but what a great marketing tool. Beats the crap out of a traditional brochure. Anyone have any experience with Bryant? Don't get me wrong, I love my Sea Ray, but I was very impressed with Bryants product.

P.S. I don't think I've ever seen one in person, we don't have a dealer nearby and they don't seem to have much of a presence here.

One of our friends has the Bryant dealership for Lake Winni. He has been very successful with the line. His marina is next to where we keep our boat, so we see a parade of them every weekend. From my observations (and a couple of rides), they seem like very high quality, well made boats. I was particularly impressed with the gelcoat and the fact that they are 100% wood free. Nice styling too. They used to only offer boats up to 24 feet, but I think they're now up to 27.

Yes, I'm not sure I like the lines of the Bryants as much as I do Sea Ray, but I was very impressed with the gelled-in pinstripes, and the overall attention to detail. The boats look like tanks.

I looked at them in '03 when I bought. They seem like a very solid well made boat. Their styling is not as current as the SR line and their dealer network is limited.

Looks like by their web-site they're exclusively lake boats :huh:
Mainly bow-riders and one cuddy.

There is one thing for sure about boats like these, their styling and layouts look just like a Reinell, FourWinns or Crownline.
To me they're all chasing SeaRay's signature look.

Somewhat like the new Hyundai's and Kai's; there's a reason they look nearly identical to a Honda

According to boatinglife the only make about 600 boats a year. Sound like a well made boat to me, but I thats just an opinion.
