What exactly happens when you trim in while turning in a step bottom??
tends to lift the stern moving the point of turn to the first step and basically over airates the running surface |

I know the consensus points to driver error......
but 2 Gladiators in less than a month?.... Is there something more radical about the glads' steps than other manufacturers? Is there less lateral stability with staggered motors over non-staggered which would increase the likelyhood to roll due to the center of gravity being tighter in from side to side?? |

"DON'T" get into something as unforgiving as a boat (any boat) w/ out first having the knowledge of understanding it's limits and the many possibilities as to how it could bite you! How's that -- for a synopsis!!! :D (all in fun), Joe |
Brad, we'll see you in Key West....Unless of course you plan on making it to the SCOPE Poker Run in Sept....Get out here man!![/QUOTE]
The SCOPE run is on my calender.. But I can not yet commit. We are also working on a winter trip to Havasu. Tres is in San Diego right now and I'm pissed. I wish I still had my house in Redondo. I do miss the pacific... See you soon. |

but 2 Gladiators in less than a month?.... Is there something more radical about the glads' steps than other manufacturers? ...full-blown race boat (with very little extra weight), makes for a boat w/ more teeth than one might expect -- esp. considering how stable it feels while running in a straight-line! Oh, and then there's the "A" Type aggressive personalities that we all share --- not that it helps! :D Joe |
Don't assume if you have a straight bottom boat you dont need to take the school... they can get you in trouble also.

Piper came out with a plane called a Malibu, it was called a Dr Killer because of the same reason. It was pilot error when there was a crash.

Actually it was a Piper Saratoga II which is a single engine. But you're right, he was flying in IFR conditions but was only rated for VFR. He was doing something with out the proper training and experience needed and paid the ultimate price for his mistakes. |
