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.)

Now that I think of it, it was really clean, and you were up on the deck cleaning it!
One bad ass ride.

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 totally happy going from the Tiger to the Gladiator
