I agree.... Loe seems like a very straight up guy and in reading this thread this boat seems like a real nice piece... One question?? Any concerns about the drives on boat??? I had a 38 Gun with 700 Zul's and I broke 3 drives in the 24 months I owned it.... My Gun was a fun, bad ass ride so I imagine that this Glad is really fast....

I have to say I never get involved in any of the usual oso drama but some of you guys are brutal! This boat is a great deal @ 135000 and everybody here knows it. I myself would buy it but with the state of the economy, I refuse to be a two boat owner. As far as Blume goes, I spoke with him last week and he seemed like a good guy doing just about as much as he could possibly do to sell his clients boats! I do think they would take any" reasonable" offer but the problem is he priced the boat so right that there is not a lot of room to move. My personal feeling is that if the boat was listed at 115000 some of you guys would only want to pay 100000! I am not trying to piss anyone off but give the guy a break. Imho anyone buying this boat should not redo with different motors. There are not alot of these boats built that way from the factory and too many pieces of junk out there already. By the way Blume call me maybe you can sell my boat for me and I will buy this from you for 135000! I have the cash waiting and I promise not to dismantle it!
Brian, I will call you tomorrow or call me..............903-814-8848, Thanks, Blume

The boat has had one drive fix on it from what I'm told by the guy that owned it last and the service center that did the work for the first owner. My experience with the 36' is it is easier on drives than the 38' because of the weight difference??

That boat is a super deal at 135,000 and the only reason its not gone is because we are in a recession. When things straighten out hopefully the boat market will too. By the way here is the picture of the silver glad sunk and after sunk.

Some of you guys make me laugh. You are like buzzards circling around your prey. It used to be that you had to have big balls to buy a performance boat like this. But, at $135K, it takes no balls. You could buy this boat, use it for several seasons, and lose very little, if any at all. Its a no-brainer. Its about as risk-free as a performance boat can get, (dollar-wise). Blume owes no one any apologies, and if you make a ridiculous offer on this boat, you don't deserve the time of day. The boat is already priced for the current market conditions, give or take several thousands. If Blume is including the trailer, which I think he is, you are actually buying the boat for $125K. HELLO!??

risk free? come on Paul... with this drive package its not "if" but when something fails. could be minor could be a disaster..my offer allows for this..at 135 you could wind up with 150 in a hurry...a big hurry.. Im Just giving my opinion.. if he can find a buyer at 135 thats great! the price is just to high for me...
