I know we have gone over this before, but is there anyone that truly knows whether a staggered Gladiator is faster than a side-by-side with the same power?

Does anyone know how many Gladiators have been made to date?

Thanks,

Staggered Gladiators should be slightly faster than side by side Gladiators.Last I heard,the factory was working on hull #45

Re: Gladiator Speeds

I believe Brett will be able to give you the best comparison of the two, apples to apples.

One note, If you ever might use another outdrive besides a bravo, The staggered set up will rule out drives with trannies in the boat and arneson drives.

Mike!!! Thanks for the gift!

As far as the comparison goes... I need some more seat time in the new boat. We are still chasing some instrument grounding issues and a few other detailing things before the fun starts. The boat runs very well though. I need to get BK1 some stick time so that I can concentrate on driving with both hands!!!!

Re: Gladiator Speeds

What is the reason some Gladiators are turning the props in?

I love my Gladiator.It was at the factory for some warranty work.It is now home in heated storage getting polished and over detailed!The factory sets up all the Gladiators with the props turning in.They claim it gets on plane faster and easier and overall rides better.It sure throws a nice rooster tail.

Re: Gladiator Speeds

And yes the staggered will be slightly faster because you can play with the toe in/out to get a few mph increase..... until the props touch!!!
