Bliss-Stick Playboat Pics(Lots Of Pics!) 16 years 7 months ago #22927

A friend of mine asked me to take a couple of comparison photos of the RAD's & Smoothy and I got a little carried away. Mainly these pics compare the Smoothy to the RAD 180 & 185. If you are a fan of either of the RAD's you should seriously consider checking out the new Smoothy!


Here is the current BS playboat lineup minus the RAD 175 & 195. As you can see, no matter what you're size Bliss-stick has a boat for you!


A pic of what I think sets Bliss-stick apart from the competition.


From left to right, Specialist, RAD 180, Smoothy, RAD 185


The Smoothy vs the RAD 185. As you can see the Smoothy's hull is a tad narrower than the RAD 185


In this shot you can see the Smoothy's hull is just a tad wider than the RAD 180


The Smoothy Stern vs the RAD 185 Stern. The RAD's stern is quite a bit wider but the Smoothy might just be a tad looser on a wave.


Smoothy vs the RAD 180. Very similar sized sterns as far as width but the Smoothy has a little longer
planing surface out back.














RAD 180 vs Smoothy


Smoothy vs RAD 185


Smoothy vs RAD 185 Bow to Bow!


Smoothy vs RAD 180 Stern to Stern!


Rocker comparison, as you can see the Smoothy scores big here!


Just a tad more rocker than its big brother the RAD 185. Also notice how much taller the knee area is. This means
big time pop out of the water and big time comfort!


Side by side comparison, the Smoothy is just a bit larger than the RAD 180......


And a bit smaller than the RAD 185












Gotta love the new HI-VIS RED!


I think this pic gives an idea of just how much rocker the new Smoothy has!
















The best outfitting on the market to date! Light, simple, effective and oh so comfortable!




There you have it! I'm sure Norm & Tobin will chime in with some more info if anyone needs it!
