Well....since I live at LOTO I have a pretty good idea of what the lake is like year round. I just sold a 39 Cig and picked up a Gladiator; I have no reservations about the boat on this lake. Sitting down feels much different than standing for sure; will it ride like the 39, no way (there isn't too much out there that will) but will it KA on Sat afternoon...yup.

BTW all the personal "pleasure" boats Phil Lipschutz built and ran were Gladiators...and there isn't anyone out there that I know of that knows more about Cigarettes than Phil.

Got to see your boat Friday at PBB. Looks very nice. Are we going to see it in Miami next month?

I have spent a little time in Red Bud's and must say the glad is like a sports car while a stand up boat like my Apache is more like Caddy. Personally, the glad is one of the funnest sit downs I have ridden in and really changed my opinions of sitdowns. As far as bumpy water I would say it can handle what ever loto could throw at it, however your back may not appreciate flying off waves for much more than an hour at time. In a heavy stand up boat your 3 year old can sleep on the back bench while you fly through that same slop (going 25-30mph slower of course). If your are looking for a "sports car" type boat the glad is a great boat at a great price but if you want a caddy ride you may not be as happy. Run one before you buy it and you will know right away.

Too me the Glad is perfect boat to add to the arsenal if you already have a cruiser or daytrip type boat. It is the sports car and your cruiser is your SUV sort of speak.

I can only afford one boat so I prefer the standup and a cabin but if I was looking for a "sportscar" type ride you don't get much more bank for the buck IMO.

As far as the recent interest:
1.) lots of bang/performance for the buck with legendary oval on the back
2.) Tow easily with a 3/4 pickup
3.) One guy buys one it makes another guy take a look.
4.) (same as #1) A lot of performance with reliable 525s a stagger and shorty ITS XRs hanging off the back for a little bit of change. My boat would need 850+ HP to run in the low to mid 90's
Geez, maybe I should pick one up as a 2nd boat...are you on commission???

I think I figured it out HAHA. I moved that 47' out of the barn so I could slide a glad in next to the apache if you need storage LOL.
No commissions but currently I am taking donations for the Apache Refresh project (these are not tax-deductible contributions)...

I think the Glads would be a great boat for the lake. They look badass sitting still and look even better throwing a roost down the lake. Alex and Tom, look foward to seeing you in Miami. Would be a great run with those two boats running around So Beach.

Is this boat FS? I haven't noticed it listed if so.
