How does the Gladiator handle above 100mph
 
i am in the process of buying a Gladiator with 750 Zuls that runs well over 100. I am wondering how they handle at those speeds and what is the limit on this hull with staggered motors as far as safety. It is Enriques old boat so if anyone has any info on the boat that would be great.

I believe that boat ran 108mph.

Phil's 700 boat was running 120ish. I think you'll be ok assuming you've had some time in a stepped hull.

But that is a totally different animal than any other Gladiator.

Well I,m no expert by any sense of the word but I have ridden in one on a long poker run over 100 mph at times and I was damn impressed the way it stuck to the water. Water at the time was a little snotty too. It was a staggered Zul /Lipship boat. Just my .02

I had a Glad with 775 Zuls w/full stagger and it handled great over 100! No issues at all. Great boat!

I have an 04 glad with 800 zuls/ staggered, very stable over 100, gets a little light in the rear over 110. Fantastic boat, zuls motors are unbelievible!!!!
