Cafe vs Gladiator???
 
Thinking about buying a gladiator. How does a gladiator compaired to a Cafe, (ride wise)???? I know the gladiator is WAY FASTER and I dig that. But how is the ride and what is it like to sit down in BIG water??

Ride-wise there is no comparison. Gladiator rides better.

The bad news is yes. And I have had several straight bottom guns as well. The twin steps ride better. Can I turn as fast as a Cafe? Nope. :D



P.S. The T/S,s are a different type of ride. The Cafe's still instill plenty of confidence when the going gets rough.

i know what u r asking scott... and u will get the crap beat outta ya copare to ur cafe in erie... its simple physics of weight

The glad will handle the swells great, and ride just as good if not better than the cafe..and run faster..

not a chance in terms of ride at same speed... cafe has to be 3000 lbs heavier... and erie doesnt have "swells" they r 5 foot walls at a 35ft interval.... my buddies 38 tg couldnt touch my t/s playboy... but it rode better... same wth my buddies 36 apache

Hmmm..but if the gladiator was $15K less on a trailer would you buy it then? Or would the cafe still be a better deal?:party-smiley-004:

Sorry couldn't resist
