Re: 2003 gladiator seems like a helluva deal !!
Some body please buy my Kryptonite so I can buy JBK's boat!
By the way, JBK, I saw your boat listed with Custom Marine Sales. Is it brokered or would they be willing to take a trade in

Re: 2003 gladiator seems like a helluva deal !!
as i said Gary's boat is gorgeous just not priced to sell, which is maybe why its been for sale for over a year and brokered by every dealer known to man. the boat should be taken down from every listing and re-advertised by 1 or 2 in diff markets in the spring...have been there b4 it over exposed

I know man, I know. 
I think it's at 175 though, or at least the last time I spoke with him it was. That's about 10k higher than some of the others listed here and a much nicer boat (in my opinion) with a ton more $$ in equipment, but it's a buyers market so if someone really wants to sell then they have to re-think pricing!

Re: 2003 gladiator seems like a helluva deal !!
Both Gladiators seem like good deals. I couldn't live with the Conan the Barbarian comic book look of the first one.
But JBK's boat is not only a screaming deal, it's got nice paint too. I think that boat is the bargain Gladiator of the month!!!!!!!

As far as handling, I don't know...I've not been in the side by side boat, so I couldnt comment which is better. Perhaps you'll take me for a ride so I can better answer that question...
BTW,
How many staggered Gladiators are there?

I have no idea how many of each were built. Mine is unique as it is a side by side setup in the engine compartment but with a staggered cockpit arrangement.... smaller
