playboats ahve a much different fit than that WhipIt so it would be helpful to know your weight (in kilos) height, long/short legs, etc so that people can lead you in the right direction. Besides, someone with a similar built might have a playboat that htey really enjoy.

Also, where do you plan to use the boat most? What type of river?

I would not suggest u 2 buy bliss-stick RAD it's not so good in Long-use, we had one in Siberia - 2 seasons of quote intensive use - and a lot of problems with outfitting, hull, bolts, etc, I remember it was allways broken or repairing on second season. Than owner sold it.

go for the Star range great lil boats and the classic series offer great value for money. Allthough I could be tempted to sell my Ronin 49 in Ninja green if you want to save even more money?
