Questions for Gladiator owners
 

what waters do you boat in most?

How do you like sitting down?

What are your favorite qualities of the boat?

What are your least favorite qualities?

Thanks for your input.

As a former owner,

Boated all over the NE. Home waters 75% rough 25% calm

Once you sit down you never go back

Boat was awesome just wish mine went faster

Liked everything about it

Only negative is seating is limited to 5. Other than that, you can't buy a better built, cooler looking and nicer running boat for anything close to what these are selling for.

I love the fact that a 36' boat is almost 40' long and it still runs great with minimal power 750 zuls and I am running 111gps

Dan, I know this is apples and oranges, but how would you compare the ride quality and rough water handling characteristics of your Gladiator compared to your Motion?



I'd love to own a Gladiator, but the lack of even a minimal cabin makes it a much tougher sell for me.

36'-11" is the actual length if I have it right; what prop are you running and how stable at 111?

I'd like to know too how the Glad compares to the 35 Motion?

I love the 700/NXT1 Glad that Lip Ship built. Were any built with 6's?

What a great sport where 750hp BBC's are considered "minimal". LOVE IT!!!!!

Awesome...Best bang for your buck..

I was never a fan of sitdown boats until I spent a couple of days in Joe's old boat with Alex. The boat is very comfortable, and the visibility is more like a cat than a sitdown V. Definately one of the funnest boats I have been in.
Talk about efficient as well. twin 525's and 90+mph!!

We really didn't find much rough water to play in but we hit a bluewater wake at about 75mph and the the boat flew level and landed soft. Here is a little vid I attempted to shoot while throttling.
