Gladiator with diesels - speed?
Hi!
The fuel costs USD 5 for a gallon in Norway... However, if you buy diesel you pay less than 2,5 USD for a gallon...
Yanmar has a new engine up and running - a true 500 HP diesel. What kind of speed can be expected with those engines and ASD8 Arneson Drives?
Gladiator is one of the 3 best looking boats ever built in my opinion.
PS! Can it be delivered with a small cabin...

Actually,you could put a small cabin in,but there would be no place to enter from the cockpit.The way the dash and floor are set up make it almost impossible.

Maybe its possible to enter from the deck?
Will Smith at Phantomboats delivered 2 x 420 Yanmarks on their Phantom 34 Classic. It ran 80 mph +. So it should be possible to mount twin Yanmar 500 in a Gladiator (bigger boat).
