Anyone know the background, sounds interesting, would like to know a few answeres before I call on it.

ive never seen it.

I believe it's the redone first sterling boat rigged by TNT and Phil had it for sale for a while. Was green and yellow.

You are most likely right.

I have an email into owner, requested more pics etc.

Any background from the TX guys about the boat in the last couple of years?

Seems to be a good deal what drives bravo? seems the power is stout.

Don't know why anyone would spend 90K on that when there are two of the nicest ones ever built for around 20k more on the market.:drink:

20k reasons

Cuz there 20k more, not for nothing but an extra 20k goes a long ways and that boat doesn't look to be a rat

Casey, Well, there is number of Glads out there... Tried to buy yours a couple of weeks ago, but it was sold when I got there, just the luck....

So back in the hunt, and the price is $25-28K different...

That does buy alot of fuel... Besides, who says this one isn't as nice? waiting on pics, no response yet...

Hahahaha, at least I'm not the only one to call him Casey. :lolhit:

Lol, that's what she said!

Had mine out yesterday, twas 65 at LOTO - perfect water since most of the boats have been put away...sunny, light chop...what a nice ride, then came back and took the bird off the grille...I was very thankful to say the least. That.boat is so much fun to drive...

Sounds like a nice day. The Gladiator is a fun boat to drive.

If those are genuine Sterling motors, and not something someone threw valve covers on, that's worth something.

Guy must not be to worried about selling it, I have sent few emails now, absolutely no response. Might be BS???

why don't you pick up the phone and call?

Cant really tell from the pics, is that boat blue or purple?

He might still be out of town for the holiday.

It will also go to cover leaky headers, wore out drives, etc. I'd rather have something that was ready...

Brian, if you really want a Gladiator, you know who has done all the work on mine... hint hint.

Call me and we'll try and work something out on Redbuds, I know i don't haft to tell you how nice it is....:drink:

If finding the best price on a Gladiator is someone's main goal, I'd buy Otis311's former Gladiator.

It has Merc 500's, brand new interior, an all white paint job to do what you want with, & was priced at $79k with a trailer the last time I looked. It's probably even less now, since it's been a few months since I last saw it for sale through Yacht Auctions.

I've seen the boat in person. Very nice for the money.

No question there! But I need some comps to negotiate.:kiss:

sweet ride

So did anyone ever get a response on this one?

Yes, I have rcvd a number of pics. There is an "interesting" personal touch in the paint job... In my opinion, unless you REALLY like having someone else's business logo and idea of art, you will need to repaint.

I am still waiting on pics of the hour meters etc before I make the trek to see it and go through checking the motors and drives more thoroughly.

He is very clear, no real negotiation on his price...

In the pics other than the "personal touches" looks fairly good. Claims low hours and only been splashed a few times in last couple of years.

The boat was originally white w/ blue/blue and,yellow stripes

any pics before the new paint?

was this the venezuelan "import/export" guys boat? he is on a long vacation

Again, IT WAS teal/blue/gold before. NOT red/blue. The Venezuelan boat was a right hand wheel.

Check the Glad pic thread.

This pics that he sent me showed the original colors as white with Blue Blue and yellow stripes, has blue interior as current pics show. Is now blue w/white silver and ghost flames and a "special custom touch".

It is also a left side drive cockpit. He claims was no damage when repainted, just wanted a more personal paint job.
