That seems like a more realistic number than the 80-100 that was mentioned.

That's a shame, I've always liked the Gladiator .

I was told they build 75-80 boats per year.

It's too bad the Glad is going away, I always thought it was one of the nicest looking boats, I think the fact that it didn't have a cabin may have hurt sales.

New oil coolers (only thing we didn't change when we did the engines), MSD Ignition, New Drives, going to remove the fridge. Other than that we did it all last year. Oh, may add a pad under the carpet. My 93 had it and made it very cushy.

May look at putting a frame under the real bolster and put in drop outs or may buy the frame Phil has and make it conventional cockpit. I like the drop out idea better since I really like the storage area behind the bolster. It holds 6 large fenders, ropes, a tool kit, subwoofer, battery booster and still room to spare.
