Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Twin Screws Did You Get The Last Set Of 575 Sci ?? How Did You Pull That Off ??

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Yes that is the last set of 575's Cigarette had. I didn't want the 525's and wasn't going to pay what they wanted for the 600's.

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Wow Awsome Paint. Awsome boats. Congrats :drink:

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Great looking pair of Cigs. Could`nt help but notice that it looked warm there too.

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Twin Screw, A tear came to my eye when I saw the pictures of your boat. :) See how easy it was once you made up your damn mind! Congrats and may you enjoy her with health and happiness. Extra cash dont hurt either!! :D

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Actually it is from the Performance Group out of Texas. They've been good to work with.


Power is 750 Sterlings.

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Stock 525,s for now.

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

pm203, from the looks of your avitar, that's a beautiful Gladiator. Can you post some pics? 525's are a great package for the Gladiator. Mid 90's?

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Mavrick,

Who painted your boat?

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Cigarette painted it in house.

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Decided against TAOD?

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Dean did drawings and helped me with the design and then sent everything to cigarette where it was actually painted.

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

I was told TOAD will no longer paint for Cig. More pics.

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

TAOD painted our cig he does great work. Why wont he paint for cig anymore?
Hunter

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

I was told the same, but i didn't look into it really. None of my business i figured. All i cared was that i got the paint job i wanted.

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Toad does some of the best work I've seen. I was just told when I wanted to use them that they no longer painted for Cig. Didn't ask why, figured if they wanted me to know they would have said. I wanted a classic look with simple lines so it wasn't near as complicated as some cigs you see now a days. George Paparo painted it and the line are very clean. He did a very nice job on the boat. He was very patient and easy to work with, just a great guy. I'm not sure who paints in house for Cig now. What do you guys think, maybe to simple?

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Is that a little lightning I see Mr. B? Hmm... Nice touch. Flag??
Mr. B. I had my dually at George's warehouse waiting to have it painted to match my boat but they had to move it out cuz some Georgia high roller's Cigarette was coming. Would you know anything about that? :rolleyes: I'm going to Florida the 12th thru the 15th of next month and again the 30th thru May 7. If you are down there try and stay a day or two and we'll go for a boat ride. Seeing that yours isnt ready I guess I could get mine wet. I really dont want to go over 20 hours on it though!! :D

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

You are way too funny Greek. Why would you not want to go over 20 hours? Don't sell that boat yet Mike, I want to buy it one year from today. I'm dead serious.

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Can I get that in writing? :D Damn, you'll have more hours on your boat in one year than I'd have on all of my boats combined. I have to be nuts. Seriously, your boat looks awesome. And no its not to plain. George always did nice work. I'll try and give you a call today so we could catch up.

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Spent yesterday with Rob from TPG. He seems like a really cool guy. He seems really eager to please! He was telling me about your boat.... It looks great!

If you need me to make sure everything is in proper working order for a few months before you come get it I will be happy to... I will just need a gas voucher for about $5,000. I will run her for the summer and make sure it is dialed and save you the trouble of working the kinks out of her... :D

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

If you're going to run her all summer you may need more than $5,000 with gas prices the way they are....haha.....i'm not griping though.....Dad's in the in oil business so things are good!

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

I will be fair and pay the excess gas bill :D :D

Is your Dad the one responsible for the prices lately? :mad: :D :D

Re: New Gladiator..........Almost finished!!
 

Twin Screws,
Boat does low 90s,would like to post some photos but having a little trouble downsizing.By the way,I think your Topguns paint is very distinctive and different.Nice colors,tastefully done,and very saleable when it comes time to sell/.George does a great job!I
