Whoever buys that boat will pay all the money to have a boat they can never sell, should fit in well in the OSO classifieds! :ernaehrung004:

Well, I don't know about that (I'm no psychic)...But I know it'll be another boat that will be out of your price range that you can keep talking about to make yourself feel better in the hopes that some day maybe you'll be able to finally afford a Cigarette.:eek: cheers back at cha:ernaehrung004:

Tank,

Got to keep you and Stecz on your toes (gets you guys off your knees for a few minutes)!

Boat is cool but I would imagine it will cost more than a 39 TG/700 boat (500K+). I think you could buy a ragged out Gladiator and repaint/repower/re-upolster for significantly less and have the same cool result. I like all of Phil's stuff whether it is a 20 or a 46 RR. That guy is what Renntech is to Mercedes or RUF is to Porsches.

This is how it looked at our factory tour back in March.

So they mount and assemble all the transom hardware, motors, drives, etc before painting, then guess they pull it all off again to paint it??

This thread is about the last Gladiator, not about resale values, not about what you could buy for the same money, not what you could rebuild for less money. Its about Phil deciding to build one more Gladiator which probably happens to be the last Gladiator. It is being built because he thought it would be fun and also cool.(Isn't that why we are here?) He could have sold the boat several times during the build, but passed at the time. Please enjoy this thread for what it was intended for and leave any negativity out of it.

pm203, I tried to get back on track!! :evilb:

Answer my question on build/paint process. I have not had the pleasure of going thru a new hull boat build rig process with Cig factory yet :)

Most boats are painted after all the transom hardware has been installed.
