Hands down, my favorite 39 'Gun built to date. Nothing like a LipShip Cigarette. Yes, "The Devil is in the Details"

I'm sure the video has a few repeat views to hear the blowers screaming. Helps us northerners get thru the winter :) And nice ride as well. Hopefully it was taken care of.....

curious why the change from 39TG to Gladiator? Can you tell me the differences in running and handling

The Gladiator is a sit down vs stand-up, center console with shifters and throttles; similar hull (the Glad is like a cut down 38) but lighter (no cabin) and more nimble. My Glad also happens to have 800's which is a great combination of ride and performance. The analogy would be comparing a Z06 Corvette to a Camaro.

thanks, from you experiance running offshore how does the glad hold up to the 39tg? Do they run together or does the extra weight of the 39 make more stable for noticable difference?

You can go just as fast in the rough in the Glad, but it feels different because you are sitting down. Your legs absorb some of the shock in a stand-up. That said my wife fell asleep in the Glad running across Biscayne Bay at 75mph in a light chop - that would not have happened in the 39.

Drink enough and it might....

Exactly!! My wife passed out in the v berth of ours on time. She didn't wake up till she bumped off of the ceiling at least 5 times. Not happy then either lol

Quick question and no trying to start a big debate as I really like this boat...

Taken the boat is in great shape and pictures show its current condition, what do you think this boat is worth??
In my opinion... It has a ****ty trailer and 700's have 360 hours. 700 package is known to have transmission issues, assuming the boat is all original, what is she worth?? Headers 7 years old?. Transmissions and drives need to be looked into? How many hours are 700's good for?

Again not trying to start a huge debate just a simple value and reason why? This is coming from a guy that just re did a 39 last year with 525's w/ header issues, SCX drives new interior etc...

I'm looking for a boat right now and haven't found something all winter for the right piece!!!m

Patrick

Thanks Pat

You DO need a boat to run Kelly and I to the keys this November. Hurry on and get a boat.

But you're spot on with your concerns FYI
