Was wondering what top end would be on Gladiator with 575's in it. Have been told in they run in the 95-98 mph range. Understand staggered 525's run at 92-93 mph. Anyone have any experience in either one. Looking at taking the plunge and getting one and the prices seem to be somewhat reasonable. Comments?

Your speed estimates are probably dead on. My 2002 with 500EFI's is running in the 87-88 mph range (side by side setup). The boat is a great boat. Everyone wondered if I would like a sit down offshore boat. Believe it or not - I have gotten used to sitting very quickly and really like it. The hardest transition has been the left hand throttling versus all other Cigarettes.

I have yet to see any photos of your new boat. I did see it LIVE last Saturday (I was at Woody's).
How about some photos. Or if you have already posted some, where are they?
I am considering the 36 Glad' myself. Do you LOVE it ?

Yeah, quit holding out on us Jeffery. I didn't even know you picked one up.

i guess i no longer have to keep the secret now that the cat is out of the bag. i have a few pics, but i'll let jeffrey post pics of his new ride. let me just say that the paint is awesome. it is a great looking gladiator.

Chad - Thanks for keeping it under you hat for a while. Yes ... I did pick up a Gladiator about a month ago. I have run it twice and it is an awesome boat. It is a "new" 2002. It had about 10 hours on it when I bought it. Long story ...

Anyway, here are some pics of the boat ...
