I absolutly love my Gladiator. It is like driving a sports car. Sitting takes a little getting used to as far as reading the waves go, but once you get the feel, you will love it. the two man operation is the safest way to run hard. I have stock 500 efi's and the boat runs 88 mph all day long and have hit 91 with a light load !!
Mine is also going to be up for sale. I am going back to a Gun or Tiger for the purpose of the cabin. My wife, who never ever used the cabin in our previous boats now wants a cabin.

Love mine. Ride is spectacular. Build quality is superb. It is extremely fast. Best lines on the water. My wife understands sacrifices need to be made
and it is not for sale, probably never will be

Its going to cost me between 50 and 100K to have a cabin instead of the Gladiator. I will never ever get the speed or that sports car feel that I do with similar power in a Tiger. But it is hard to entertain with the Glad.and the Tiger is more of a wave crusherin the rough stuff in the Atlantic.
If it sells..it sells. If not, not a wink of sleep lost.
Im not really activly shopping a new boat. I have one Tiger in mind that caught my eye and is in my range. We shall see how it plays out
Gladiator = Corvette
Tiger = Hummer
