I will agree about resale not being as strong as the TopGun. However, it is comparable or better when compared to the competition.( OL,Fountain,Etc.)

I saw this rig at the place where the picture was taken1 She is BEAUTIFUL!!
Now that I think of it, it was really clean, and you were up on the deck cleaning it! :drink: One bad ass ride. :cool:

Gary G.'s Gladiator sold. I believe to someone in Miami. Thanks for the plug FF2. That would be me, always cleaning.

This one is way worse than the Gladiator.

I am not sure of the exact measurement differences, but the narrow/ short cockpit looks the best. If you are a big guy and need the extra room, the wide cockpit gives you a little more elbow room. The narrow/ short cockpit makes the Gladiator "look like a little race boat" according to Philly.

So, when I see 500s with Vortechs, I'm scared. When I see a Keith Eickert 675EFI, I'm fine with it. I may be wrong but that's just me...

If you are referring to my boat, Carolina Racing worked w/ Bob Endress of Vortech to put my motors together specifically for the Vortech system. It has been a trouble free setup for me. A lot of it has to do with who set it up and how they set it up.

I am totally happy going from the Tiger to the Gladiator

I am totally with you here. This is why I have one. Otis, Your's is really interesting. I am interested in the lack of side air intakes etc. I don't know the history, did you have it built?

Boy, I am suprised how anxious these sellers are.
