Because opinions vary, which of the three in the classifieds are you referring to?

One of them is in Sweden the other is in Canada. I don’t want to deal with boats that are not in the USA. The white, black and orange boat in my eyes is overpriced but it is a beautiful boat.

The 2003 Gladiator listed at Performance Boat Center was originally the 2003 Miami Boat Show Lip Ship display. Absolute head-turner. Out of roughly 41 Gladiators made, several are wrecked and gone. Several others have been rolled or flipped. This hull has not been rolled or flipped. It has the original power set-up with some additions, like drive guardians. Highly recommended for anyone running bigger power through Bravo XRs.

The boat was completely redone in the last two years. It looks completely different from the original paint and interior. Owner appears to have spared no expense.

The owner can share details about the work done in the last few years. If you are looking to get into a Gladiator, this is one to look into closely. If the extent of work done matches the detail and quality of the paint and interior work, you're buying a boat that won't need much for a long time. Just be diligent with all the necessary maintenance, upkeep, and rebuild intervals on the drivetrain.

Team Virgin Glad (Glad #1) just came up on FB. Jason is selling without power and drives. This boat has always been my unicorn and wish I could finally go after it but times and life has changed with my family. I know he put a ton into rebuilding her and making her awesome again. I am sure you can buy the power and drives too for the right price. She may be an old race boat but she is my all-time fav though and a little piece of history.

I like that boat too, but for darn near same money could get the 45 Maximus.

Not sure why someone would tear a part a perfectly good boat, that a lot of chedda for a stripped hull
