I was told the Glad hull is a cut down 38 with differing step positions?

I believe the OAL for the Glad is 36-11 and the 38TG 37-6- only 7 inches difference.

I can only compare the 39; IMHO the 39 s a better ride and the 36 is more fun to drive.T

The original early Glads had the same bottom as a Topgun. Later Glads had a bottom redesign by Michael Peters I believe, with the steps moved.

Dragon's an epoxy boat, glads a glass boat. Dragon felt like a cat more than a vee when we ran the first one. Very nice boat.

Boat runs 90-92. im running a 6 blade herrin. was thinking about whipples. The gladiator doesn't tear the drives up like the top gun. I just did the Miami boat show poker run with it. I love it!
Here are a few pictures of your boat on the run. What a cool boat! Nice to meet you guys. See you in a few weeks for the FMO run?

When that boat was new, it hit 95 mph with 5 bladed Herings. The conditions must have been perfect that day.

My ride runs a easy 95mph w/600 HP and 4 blade hearings. Never breaks a drive and makes my competition shake in there shoes. :-)
