Gladiator Speeds
 

I know that a 525EFI boat will run 90mph, but I'm wondering how much hp it will take to run 100mph? How fast with 700s? Is a Gladiator stable at speeds over 100mph?

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,
LS JR.

I have kind of been wandering the same thing. I just
ordered a gladiator with 750 Sterlings. Neil told me
he thought around 108-112 if we get it propped right??

:eek: WoW, do they really go that fast???

Re: Gladiator Speeds
 

Cool, will it be staggered or side-by-side? I remember Enrique's Gladiator with 750 Zul's ran 107mph.

"ONESICKGLADIATOR" has 800 Zul's and runs 112mph.

So, if there is a 5mph difference between 750 & 800, a boat with 700s should run 102mph? Can anyone clarify this?

In one ear, out the other. :rolleyes:


T.A.'s boat ran 102-103 when I drove it. Side by side setup, 700 Zul's. The one with 750 Sterlings and the left side driver station only ran high 90's until they completely retuned it. It ran maybe 100 or so afterward. Better have good engines to get the good speeds. :D :D
