Took my New Gladiator out and what a ride
 
I recently bought a Gladiator with 750 zuls and just got some free time to run the boat. Wow this thing is a amazing. We ran it upp to 105 with more left in it super smooth and stable. I have never rhode in a boat that feels as solid as a Cigarette. I bought Enriques old boat with 92 hours on it looks new and runs great. I think 108 will not be a problem, and with some new props 110 is possible. PS it has the original 29.5 pitch 6 blade herrings and 1.36 gears. Herring say the 5 blades are faster on the boat nad that the new props are faster than the old ones they have.

Congratulations! Gladiators are one of the coolest boats out there and best bang for the buck these days.

Yeah, those 3 minute laps at Allatoona will get old quick. I have a place in Alpharetta(but live in Ft. Laud) and lots of friends on Lanier. Give me a heads-up before you head over.

Nice rig BTW. I checked it out when Enrique took delivery cause I was looking to buy his Mystique. LOVE the RH throttle bolster.

That boat is bad ass! I'll never forget my ride in it a few years ago, with Phil & Neill. :cool:

You got a good one, and hopefully some of Anna's suntan oil is still on the passenger seat, lol. :drink:

I apologize for them not being far enough away to get the whole boat into the picture, but hopefully they'll do until "johnlomant" can post more. :cool:

Dude, this thing is just bad ass, no "for the money" caveat needed!

I guess you were used to not having a cabin so going from the Thor to this was easy.

I spent 10mins taking pics in the cabin of the Mystique. Finally Phil yells up "WTF are you doing in there?"

Answer: " I figure Anna has been naked in here at least once so I wanted pics for my friends"
