38 Lightning vs. 36 Gladiator
I just wanted to get some opinions on what some different people thought. I currently own an 03' 38 lightning w/ stag. 700's. I've been looking at a couple different gladiators on the internet and have kind of got a wild hair about trading for one. Any thoughts???

I wish I had that problem!!!!!!!!!! I think you would enjoy the gladiator with similiar power. I think the speeds would be similiar, and the gladiator would handle the rougher water maybe a little bit better. Only one way to find out!!!

Why?? Whats wrong with what you have now??
You could trade it in on the regular Fountain it would be faster.
The Gladiator does not have anything up front .

There seems to be alot of newer Gladiators for sale. No cabin, but a cool ride. Buy one and then weigh in on what you think between the two.

Wait for the new sit down 42 fountain and see. I looked at the OSO gladiator friday and while the cool factor was high after going to the shoot out today and using my cabin I would only be able to do it for a second boat.

Sorry Mike Fountains are not sexy. It's like comparing a Viper to a Ferrari. The Ferrari is sexy! (Ferrari being the Gladiator) Ask any cig owner.

With all due respect... having ridden in both in rough water the Gladiator is in a different league. This is not a hack on Fountains just the truth, the ride is superior.
