When my Top Gun and my Gladiator are parked 5 feet apart and I take a tape measure to the steps I tend to believe the tape. Things may have changed in post 2002 boats but I see what I see.......

I'd have to agree with HavasuCig here. I was with him at Havasu when his '01 Gun was right next to Jeffrey's '02 Gladiator. The Gladiator hull looked like it was cut down about 8" lower than the Top Gun hull. We noticed that because the boweye on the Gladiator was about 5" lower where the rubrail would be. On the gun, the boweye is about 13" lower than the rubrail. Also, the "crease" on the Gun is in the middle, on the Gladitor, it is higher (looked like the deck was cut down) Everything else was IDENTICAL.

I wasn't pointing fingers counselor. (had to)

I think your boat is one of the exceptions. Probably because it was one of the first ones.

Myco claims same bottom,but shorter.This is getting stranger by the moment!

No, No ,No.... I sold my Gun a few months ago, I just got rid of the Virgin boat and replaced it with this new boat. Christ, if my wife reads that I have three boats she will be convinced that I am hiding them from her!!!
