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.

For real???? Have you ever been in a Cafe?? In big water!!

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.



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.

Gladiator hands down

Wow!! Thanks guys I would have never thought that..

i dont buy it....

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 run better... not ride better in 5 foot walls

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?

Sorry couldn't resist
