Gladiator prices..
#1
I am seriously considering a Gladiator for the next boat. The prices seem to be all over the place. Some of the newer (used) ones are $250K+ and there are some that are in the $140K range here on OSO. I am truely wondering what they are worth, since it takes a special buyer (I'm special
) to buy a boat with little storage, no head and no cabin.

Your even more special after you get one !!!
I think the reason for such a wide range of pricing is there have been alot of little detail changes to make the boats more comfortable and a finished look. Some of the less expensive ones are converted race boats and depending on who did the conversion the interiors may not have as much storage or comfort features. I converted mine and shortly thereafter had it redone again to be more like the new ones and now it has quite a bit of storage. I can carry all my fenders, lines, cooler, jackets for 6 and have room for the girls bags without using any of the huge storage under the bow; last year there was no way.
They are fun boats kind of like a Ferrari on water. Good Luck.

Dead serious, It will be used for special runs and winters in Florida. My wife bought a boat and I dont think I need all the extra comforts anymore that the Tiger offers. Its alot of boat for this lake. If things dont work out exactly like I want them to, I will keep my boat. Im very pleased with it. I also have two other boats that I can run besides my wifes.
