An interesting question and one I hope remains theoretical. Sorry to hear Tyson's might be getting egg-beaters.

Speaking of reliable, waiting (forever) for my new CMI headers. then the engine rebuild is complete. Might put it on the market.

No header issues with outboards! Just saying...

I could consider painting the outboards aqua camo. All you can see below below are some antennas chasing a shiny anchor.

Sir, you are VERY correct! Wish these headers came with 'head.'

[QUOTE=Sydwayz;4784673]No header issues with outboards! Just saying...

Yamaha 350's have had trouble with their exhaust manifolds, about $5K to replace!

They say 29' Fountain with outboards does 90mph 6500 LB boat?

Depending on the outboards close, as a example my 32 with twin BBC is 7200 ish. I would think the OB 29 would not be as heavy, velocity is getting 100+ with 400R's on the their 29.

Whats the difference in handling between a side by side and a staggered Glad? I know its not apples to apples like outboards but...

Honestly every owner I've ever talked with raves about how good they both handle. It's too the point the it's like nails on a chalkboard when people assume they have issues. It just blows me away, Especially after running our boat extremely aggressive and never experiencing anything negative. But I understand how this sport works. I do believe the extra weight of our drives and boxes may help keep the stern planted I also know the better offshore props help bite. Shoot any Gladiator, or boat, may benefit from newer better prop technology nowadays.

I think outboards would work great on these hulls

Have you gotten your Glad back together? Haven’t seen you post any updates about it lately...

Finishing touches
