That is a good question. I look at the Gladiator and Comp (sorry I am a Donzi guy in here ;) ) this way now.
What was a $3 to 400,000 boat 5-8 years ago can be bought in the low $100s.
Now if I am someone who can spend $400,000 on a boat today, do I buy a new 39 Top Gun or......do I buy a Gladiator for poker runs and blasting around AND a cruiser or center console for my family boating etc.
I know what I would do....now I just need to save up for that Top Fish.:grinser010:

The resale has already been hurt because of production being halted and as Phil says, "there are only a few good ones left." You figure it out. Skip will build you a new one I am sure, but you are going to have to pay up.
