Jeffrey, (founder of OSO) did a direct comparison between two Gladiators a few years ago, one a 525 and a side/side 525. IIRC, he said the handling and attitude of the boat was negligible, and the staggered was more difficult at the docks. You should be able to find the old post by searching here on OSO.

You're boat is beautiful and the right setup, it's the hours that concern me. Just my personal preference. I sent someone an email on it a week or two ago and received all the details, thanks.
Is that your personal boat or are you the broker?

I did a search here using "Gladiator" and came up with nothing??

Its our boat. The boat is in great shape, and everything is in tip top shape, motors and drives. I dont think your going to find a 525 boat for the same price with less hours!! Compared to the others out there you could go through everything on our boat even though you dont have to and still be under money wise. Let me know if you want any more info. Who gave you the information, Xtreme Marine or Ocean Performance?

Im pretty sure some of the real old posts dont come up anymore.

Not sure, Ken was the guys name. The email or email address didn't disclose which one. I just used the OSO classified ad, noticed there were 2 after sending request for more info. They did a good job of providing plenty of pictures and copies of the work orders for your resent service.

That was my dad, not a broker since he owns the boat.

This one is available also. Fresh water only and absolutely "as new" in every respect.

Thanks but, unfortunatly I can't view that attachment. Do you have a link for the ad?

That would explain the very prompt response with good supporting pic's and doc's.
