I don't know where you come up with the 140-160 range because it is way off.
I ended up selling my 2001 Gun for 185k in less than 8 hours this past year. Could have sold it for 195k if I waited a couple of days, but I had a deal lined up on my current boat and did not wan't to lose it.

Re: Does this Gladiator sound like a steal?
Ah, I get it now...
The first one I saw was the blue one in this thread with staggered 525's. They wanted 265k and I offered 235k after it had been siiting for a few months. They turned my offer down and had to unload it for 190k less than 6 months later. |

Re: Does this Gladiator sound like a steal?
There are a few good deals to be had on Gladiators in the classifieds, mine included. I dont think they ever sold for $150 new though.

Chad &/or Jeffrey,
What speed did you guys get from the old F-2 TG when it had the HP500's? What did you get with the latest power? By the way, glad to see you back Jeffrey. |
Re: Does this Gladiator sound like a steal?
Gordo-
As JJ said, Speed Racer ran 89-90mph w/ the 500's. In the current setup w/ 725HP turning 5-blades, it runs 99.7mph GPS. It ran a couple mph faster on the top end w/ the 4-blades, but it handles a lot better w/ the 5-blades at high speeds. The acceleration in that boat was absolutely crazy....... Chad |
