I have two pairs of the generation one Bodacious, 185cm and 196cm. This year's Bodacious is the relaunch of that layup, and I'm about to acquire a new pair as one of mine has a lot of days. Have not known anybody who really "needs" a ski of the size {193cm-196cm}, and who had skied many days on the original Bodacious who liked, let alone preferred, the model that they're selling here. Never did it for me. They've been a tough sale, I hear. So yes, attractive price. And if you had not skied the original, aka the 2017-2018, and didn't have that comparison, these might work. I know a few people under contract with Blizz, who kept the original Bodacious in the closet.
I'm still curious about a response to the question of where the OP intends ski his big bad, long skis. Same question as @BGreen. I know pros who ski 200+ days a year, who only ski some of the "big" skis on his list a few days a season. Generally stepping out of a heli into very wide open spaces. I've skied my 196cm in similar situations, in the morning and then sized down as things get skied out. No way am I skiing the long ski in tight spaces. I have ten times as many days on the 185cm. I'm also hoping to get my mitts on a pair of gently used Enforcer Pro's.115mm, 191cm. The current owner has a couple of pairs.....Hear very good things.
So......I'm curious about the OP's skier size, skier destinations, deep snow and steeps experience, etc. Kind a quick explanation of why he wants them, and thinks they are the right ski. They well might be. Could also be a handful. The references to "if it were stiffer"......confuse me a bit. As do the comments about float. If it's about playful, fun floaters....different list, IMO.
