Early Gladiator with the old bottom and dubious history. You get what you pay for. On a more positive note, it is workable.

Probably dumb question. Do they paint the boat after the drives are mounted?

pm203

Yes, most of the time.

It did go under a couple years ago.

It's been discussed - Difficult to deal with Nat. Liquidators. I do have pics of it being towed in after flipping in Havasu (not that I personally give a crap about that...But some do).

And let's make this thread interesting:

Motors 20k (at least!).
Drives 10k (gimbals/drives)
Various mounting hardware, tabs, resevoirs, headers, etc. etc....I don't know 20k (at least)?
Interior 15k
gauges and dash panesl (10k).

Where you at!?

Buy the old OSO boat. Cause you know what they say about boat work...Take the estimated price and double it!

Tank,

Exactly what I was thinking figure wise..

Then double it...

No bargain after all.

Paul,

You are right..it looks great, but too much to invest when you can buy a turn-key boat for the same or less..

Hope all is well with you..

Joe,
Alot of people just don't realize that there is alot of junk out there. Why buy a boat with a questionable history that needs restoration when you can pay a little more and get a turn-key boat that just need gas? All you end up with is a redone , rehashed mediocre boat that will never be a 10 again. By the way, all is well with me, hope you are fine as well.
