I'd guess 112 MPH+ poker run boat.... But, yes, it would.

no way it will go 112 mph with a pair of 700's and NST drives

That is a little optimistic. What is your guess?

If a TG goes 106ish, it should be close.

Merc says the bullett on the lower for the NXT is the most efficient ever made.....

....no, but it might with the "NXT" drives! hehe. :D

the gladiator is appx. 4-5 MPH faster than the 38 TG, right.....

So, do the math --- besides.... The red/silver 700 boat has hit 108 on GPS, says the current owner. I was personally in it at 106 (in fresh water). In salt, we backed off before hitting the rev. limiters..... at we were right at 106 MPH at that point in time.... We'll see what happens. You guys might be right.

The Gladiator with NXT's should be faster than an XR boat with equal power due to the ability to run bigger wheels. It would stay hooked up better and you could play with the gear ratio more.
