How would you rank Bryant Boats?
I want one but they don't have a fishing package.
Is there something more suited for a broad range of fresh water and
perhaps a little salt?

Beats me, man. I've never heard of the brand. And i've never sen them
advertized at 4 local boat sales in my area.


That's a name I haven't looked up... yet.

Thanks and good luck.

We had a poster here some years ago who was connected with the brand. I
saw a few of the brand at a boat show somewhere. They looked a bit
better than the average of their I/O runabout/deckboat/et cetera type.
I think they were or are Canadian made.

You smell like a troll. If that's not the case, why not expand on your
intended use? OK, your into fishing. A little salt? Inshore? Near
shore? Offshore? Island hopping?

I love to fish but I'm not a fisherman.
I like to cruise the river and put in at isolated spots.
I use to like to fish salt water but age kinda got to me. I got sick the
last few time including Lake Superior. We came in, even though the
Browns, Steelhead, and everything else was biting.
Given big enough boat it might not be such a problem but got too many
other toys etc to afford a 60 fter.
The Bryant has not an ounce of wood in it, and fit and finish seems
superior to everything else we have seen a boat shows. They don't come
with fishing seats or wiring etc for trolling motors etc.
I haven't seen every brand though so that is why I asked.
I would like something for the Great Lakes, but also shallow water.
They don't make something that is perfection for everything?

How big a boat are you looking for? I like my Key West. It's a little
small for any long distance salt water stuff, but it's great for the
Chesapeake, when the winds aren't too strong.

Yup, I have looked over John's boat (sister at a show) and they indeed
are beautiful boats.

And, of course, they do make them bigger!

Of course there is no one boat for every application. You might want to
consider the fish & ski models from various manufacturers. I'd stick
with an OB if you plan on putting it in salt. Here are two examples...
