I do not know this to be a fact, but I was told that Bryants have their fuel (gas) tank forward in the boat as opposed to the center back third area as most boats. This would have an effect of "keeping the nose in the water" even when trimmed up. A test drive of one (with a full tank) would be in order. Other than that, they look very much like a "knock off" Crownline hull design with a few interior differences.

As with any boat purchase -- it's all personal choice and budget. I think everyone here would echo the fact that you should avail yourself the opportunity to "test drive" all the different boats in your budget level. Thats one of the great things about Winni. It's amazing the subtle differences from one manufacturer to another. And don't be afraid to put the test drive through it's paces !!! When we did it years ago, I warned the salesguy to "hang on" as I was extrmely interested in how the boat took turns, trimmed & and handled chop at speed .
