Default Why a Gladiator?

If I am not mistaken there is no cabin in a Gladiator, so why do you have one? Are they just a fast big A boat to cruse around in? Do people ski behind them?

To go fast. No cabin, less weight, more speed.

no, the center stringer comes up too high. from the top of the center stringer to underside of the deck is probably only 18" give or take. the only thing that you can really do is put a floor on both sides of the center stringer, which is what i will do with mine this winter if it does not sell.

Good thread......... I am also in the market for one as well. Well as soon am my 05 Spectre sells. I don't have any use for a bed on a boat. I just want to haul azz all day in big water and go home or to the hotel at night.

What do some of you think of staggered versus side by side. I am leaning towards the side by side via a conversation with a owner.
