Ride Quality
 

How would you compare the ride of a 35 T/S, Gladiator, 38T/S?

Also, does anyone know anything about this Gladiator?

Thanks

Gladiator and 38 TG should give you a better ride than a 35.A staggered Gladiator setup correctly might be a hair better than a TG.

Re: Ride Quality
 

Speed wise the Gladiator will easily be the faster boat with equal power. The Top Gun will take a more abuse than a Gladiator mostly due to the higher freeboard and weight.

If you're interested, and ready to buy, I'd suggest calling Phil. He has several boats that are not on his site. We were there last week for the boat show run - He has a "sick" gladiatorhe's wanting to get rid of, if you're interested.

Thanks again for ALL of your help, Phil.

Better than ANY fountain!!!! haha... :D

Re: Ride Quality
 

I dont own a fountain used to a couple of years ago. I've changed boats and didn't change my name. I now own a Hustler. I am flying down this weekend to Phils to test drive a Gladiator.

You will like dealing with Phil. No BS and he knows his Cigarettes !

Well... pre-maturely, welcome to the family. If it's the Gladiator I know of.... it's a beaut!

In all seriousness, there's nothing wrong w/ Fountains. They're obviously good boats. Hopefully, you knew I was poking fun.

Keep us posted.

It's the one in the link posted in the first post. Theres nothing wrong with fountains except they dont have a #1 on the side of their boats.

Re: Ride Quality
 

The link you posted brings up his pre-owned boats. In order to bring up a specific boat, you have to click on it in the pre-owned section and then copy the link of the particular boat. It's tricky. Phil's a good guy.

Here is an example - 03 Gladiator 550 Carolinas:
