Based on other site postings this Drew cat owns it.

Good looking boat and the price was pretty aggressive if it’s in overall good condition. Only complaint I have is it has the cockpit of a stagger without the stagger.

Yup, I tried to buy it a while back (2019 I believe when we were at Tickfaw) when we were in the market for one, know the history on this one and most of them pretty well. Drew just bought it. Again, if this is the boat we are talking about.

Who bought Virgin 1? Keep seeing Tres rebuilding/re-rigging the boat... Sure hope the orig. paint goes back on it, still wish we had pulled the trigger on that one many moons ago.

10 years ago there were plenty of glads for sale under 100k. This boat was listed at 90-95 a few times. The Virgin glad was sub 100. The all white one was down to 85 I believe at one point, Joe Baca's out of Ca was around 90. They all needed love but a lotta boat for the money. Even back then.

A few were in the 75-80K range and sold there too. The Maroon one that went to Canada that got wet in FL. was a good buy back in 16ish I believe it was along with Virgin before it went to the Northeast and a few others. Amazing how they went from (what would be considered now) giving them away for way sub 100K to now $150K +++ 10 + years older and later. Such an awesome boat!

I was there when Allan Smith picked up the OSO Gladiator from Steve, in FLL. He borrowed BillR 's (RIP) yellow steel Myco at the time, and we lifted it on with only two Yardarms as the boat was nearly stripped.
Good times. Allan still has the boat in the Virginia Beach area. I just pinged him to see if he has any current-ish pics. Last I knew it was still all white, and I think he put pro-charged engines in it.

I bet these boats would do well with a set of LSX marine blocks back there. And even a set of 500Rs would be "interesting". Or maybe even the new Ramey Racing 750 Demon Time outboard (it starts with a 450R).

May be an image of text

I heard Tyson had/has one of the white ones still that (a long time ago) was talking about OB's or someone mentioned it. Last I heard it was in a barn somewhere but that was a few less gray hairs and a few Tito's ago. Could you imagine the 750s on one, holy crap!!
