36' Gladiator Lip-Ship - Differences Between Model Years '02 - '05
 

When shopping for a 36' Gladiator, preferably Lip-Ship edition, are there any differences that I should be aware of between 2002 - 2005? Major design\performance changes like hull design etc..?

Also any speed difference in a staggered vs side by side power config? Looking at 525's.

Thanks for any feedback

Not going to find any pre '02 Glads. Thats the year they started making them

Check my 2002 out in the classifieds. I can tell you everthing from staggered to side by side. Plus, my boat is about 20 miles from you!!

Is yours the one with the prochargers?
If not, how about a link.

From what I have gathered, there was a hull change in 03. The bottom was re-worked by Michael Peters. There are staggered and non staggered set-ups, and there are wide and narrow cockpits. Also, in late 03, the X dimensions were lowered slightly.

Thanks, thats the kind of details I'm looking for!
Also noticed in research and reading there were a couple of Left hand drives (example)

Is one of the boats listed in the classified section the one that rolled and was redone?

Yes

Can you point out which one?

I just bought a 04 Glad. I can tell you one thing for sure before you buy talk to the guys here about the boat. They saved me alot of time and I found out alot of behind the sale issues on some of the boats. The guys here really came thru for me I can't thank them enough.
