BMBoyer , I have no info on this boat , my comment was just in response to the marks on the drives . I know it's a big deal if a boat sinks but I also think that if bought right it could a hell of a deal .

There in lies the question. What is "bought right" when the most interesting photo of it is this -[ATTACH=CONFIG]552853[/ATTACH]

It spent its first few years in salt.

Learn something new every day..... Dad had a marionette that had to have the lead guppy hanging off it for proper grounding. I mentioned the drives not to be a deal breaker, just as a heads up. A friend bought a FRESHWATER TURN KEY top gun. Shortly after purchase he lost a engine and broke them both down. He had a great surprise to find out the internals we're destroyed from not properly flushing after salt water use. The thermostats and housings were rotted. I will let him know it was probably from sitting next to a ungrounded cruiser and will make sure to get a guppy to hang off my top gun. Thanks for lesson.

What a scary pic !!!!! Very sad......

I'd say about 2/3 of what a comparable boat with no history would trade for. That is pretty standard in the marine, aircraft, and auto market.

The Gladiator market has been holding around $125k for a staggered 525 boat, so using that math I would say if you could buy it for somewhere in the $80's it'd be a good deal.

I would go higher with complete disclosure of the repair and it was done by a with a reputable shop. Someone on here indicated that they knew the shop but I haven't heard who it was. Still would be considerably less than a no history boat though.

Gladiators are amazing boats! I can not say enough good things about how great they drive and handle. Any negative comments are coming from uneducated trolls.

Personally I would not be scared of any saltwater boat or sunk boat that has been properly maintained and repaired especially if the price is right.

The boat has run a lot since the incident. It was a soft roll and most damage was done during its retrieval. They don't all check in to OSO for their required Cigarette family update. I followed it close after the roll as one I would consider owning some day. Not the right time yet...

Had a party barge that was deemed unseaworthy after year and a half. Manufacture had some electrical issues and it ate the pontoons and all the metal on the boat. Same thing can happen with the drives trim tabs gamble etc
