Tank,

As far as Gladiators with the 575 style ,staggered sunpad hatches, there was the one that Phil had with the Sterlings, Enriques Glad and Gerry Brewis's Glad. Those are the three that I can think of.

P.S. Check out this Gladiator. NICE!!

He wasn't the one selling the boat to you though, was he?

I'm sure you weren't looking for him to kiss your ass, but expecting someone to work even harder for you because of the economy, when they aren't even the seller, is asking the same thing in a nondirect way.

Best of luck with the boat. It's a really nice one.

I am planning on doing a new custom interior and new scx drives plus a few other custom things and he was my first choice because he built the boat. Not a big deal.

None of my business, sorry for the comment.

I didn't think there would be much you could do to that boat to make it nicer. Keep us posted if you can with pictures of the updates you end up doing?

I will. I have some pretty sick ideas for the boat but one thing at atime I need to get the boat proped right first. Those 6 blade herrings are a little dated, from 2003.

When you say dated, do you mean worn out/old?

Ahhhh....I've never seen the "America" Glad. Nice set up. Which boat was it before?

The prop technology has changed drastically since 2003 and the newer designs are faster and more efficient

That is the second to last Gladiator built, I believe. It was new at the time.

What's up Tank ... missed you Saturday at the Poker Run

Phil ... haven't forgotten about you ... think about you every Jan 25th ... next time in Miami, you'll be the first person I look up.

sorry for the hi-jack
