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

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.

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?
