DAMN !! I herd a couple of these rolled in Havasu. Is that one of them ?

Does anyone know what caused this to happen ?

Only one rolled in Havasu. Jeff Chengs old boat. The owner was giving a demo ride prior to sale and let the buyer get behind the wheel (20/20 being hind sight, probably a bad idea).

The other one is the blue and silver Glad from LOTO.

Texoma, Philly boy. :grinser010:

2005 Glad.
 

I have a nice 2005 36' Cigarette with 750hp Sterlings and a black powdercoated aluminum Myco trailer "FOR SALE" Maybe Mavrick10 has some pictures. To dark to take some tonight.

Already for sale??
here's a few old pics i have.

Thanks
 

Mavrick, Thanks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,he traded for the 39' w/1075's

I believe that boat was having it's headers built simultaneously with mine. I know that as I worked with Randy at Stellings, He was building a nearly identical set for Bud at Cig.

Daaaaaamn, where you been wildman! What are you floating around on these days? :drink:

i've been out of the loop is where i've been! I'm kind of missing it though......i think the only thing to my name to float around on is a life vest and maybe a couple noodles. I'll be back though........How's Grand and the skater?? lots of alcohol and fast/fun times i'm sure!

Hey Blume. Any luck with that thing going to OHIO ?? :cool:

here some info on the boat

make a move "BIG DADDY"

What is the OAL on the Glad and the weight fully rigged w/ 500's, and was curiouse of the leg room , Im 6'-2" 245lbs, will I pour into this thing, is the seat adjustable or is it only on some of them?

??
 

Someone else might know some of these answers but I'll try. Overall lenght is 36', the dry weight fully rigged is probably around 7500lb's, I am 6'2" also and have about 50lb's on you and the boat fits nice. The seat is not adjustable but you should have enough leg room with no problem. It's here on Texoma if you want to come down and look?

36'11", 8000 lbs, seats have 3 adjustable positions at least in ours. Im sure others do to.

Thanks, my boat sold, deposit should be here today, and the new owner will take delivery of it sunday at LOTO after the shootout, if all goes as planned ill be shopping very soon.

Mine is ready to go!! Hope your sale goes well!!

?????
 

Dan???? I thought you wanted to trade????

Let me know!!!
 

The boat is close if you want to see it.

what about the blue/ silver?

any others u know about... 525s?

Congrats! Let the fun begin. :drink:

This is the cleanest Gladiator available anywhere, bar none. 2004.5 (newer style vents and updates), fresh water and perfect in every respect. Condition wise, it will match any 09 coming out of the factory today!

Just thinkin out loud blume. It would be better if we sold our boat instead of trade.

Let me know!!!
 

Good luck with the sale and let me know if you need anything.

Is it for sale though? :food-smiley-007:

All in good time, my friend. Have patience. Need to take some new photos.

Did you ever been find this boat?

love the sit down boat just fun to ride

There is a reason if someone comes out of the blue and cuts you off unexpectedly. That's what happened to one of the Donzi 45ZX's that rolled and sunk. And that aint driver error, except the other driver. I have been in my boat, in the channel and someone just decided to throttle up and cut directly in front of me from outside the channel at a 90 degree angle into it and right in front of me. Complete stupidity but I had to do an evasive maneuver to not hit the A-hole.

The first generation of stepped bottoms manufacturers learned a lot. Wasn't just Cig. Donzi 22ZX and 45ZX are in the mix too.

What manufacturers seemed to do on version 1 of their stepped hulls is simply put steps in their old V bottoms. What happens then is the boat rolls in turns just like the older straight bottom boats. This means the boat rolls to one side of the V, then slides on air/water and there is a definite sideways momentum that builds. This is not a problem.... unless the middle of the V 'catches' during the turn which stops the center middle of the hull from sliding and all that sideways momentum ****s to the top of the boat so it rolls over. If one is lucky it's just eject-o-seat-o. unlucky or too much speed and it rolls/sinks.

On newer stepped bottom hulls you'll see little tweaks to alleviate the roll. When you turn at speed the boat will remain relatively flat versus old straight bottom V's. The feeling is totally different too. Turn at speed and the ass end just kinda shifts from side to side and you are pointing in a new direction versus that dig in and roll we used to get in straight bottoms. Watch the Donzi Miami Vice trailer/promo on youtube and you can see multiple examples of how little the boats roll and how the rear ends just kinda move around in turns.... that is only when they are moving fast enough to be ventilated. During slow speeds they act just like a regular V, so you get big roll slow.

attached is a pic of my old 28ZX, you can see there are 2 small delta pads on the bottom after each step highlighted in red... at speed it helps keep the boat flat and stops the sharp part of a normal V from catching in a turn.

Dan should hire you to run R&D for bottom design at Outerlimits!!
