The side by side Gladiators have alot more cockpit space and are very close in speeds to the staggered. Could be a reason.

Re: New to me boat........
There is a stability with the side by side set up that is more pronounced than with staggered. The deal was very good, the boat is literally like brand new, and I just want to go have some fun..... I am really just at that point where if it isnt gonna be fun I am done. I am tired of worrying about how fast other boats are, who is first to the first card stop, blah blah blah. I want to run 70 mph with 2 or 3 of my buddies along side with our families, raft together at lunch, and hang together afterwards.
