Where is the Sterling powered Glad that was in Texas these days? I ran in it a couple times at 108-109.

Maybe time for Cig to re-introduce the Glad with a pair o staggered 1350s???

THAT would be a raunchy ride!

I think Cig should bring back the Glad, stretch it to 39ft, do alittle bottom work, and put big power in it....

So nobody has put 900's in a Glad yet ?????

The Gladiator is a great boat up to 100, then hold on.

It would need a few more feet and a lot of work to handle big power.

I owned the 750 zul boat ran 110. Very dangerous at that speed I would keep it under 100. Loved the boat just felt like I could die at any time above 100.

The 39 Glad is a great idea, isnt that basically the 399 Skater though?

That was proven to run pretty good with Eddie Young power at high speed.

I had a 775 Zul powered Glad and it was Awesome! Mine ran 108 with Bravo props and 104 with 6blade Herings. Handled great and was not scary at all over 100.

I love the idea of a Glad with the 39 bottom!
