36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

With all the wisdom here I thought I would get some opinions. So which one is it? Which one is the TOP DOG??
Thank for the input. :D

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

I would prefer the Gladiator. I think it's hard to beat the looks of this boat. It also runs in big water. The Gladiator has seating for 5, I think the Fountain has seating for 4. I only looked at the Fountain 42 Poker Run in the magazines and it looked pretty sharp. I just would prefer the Cig. It all about personal preference :D

Odds are Cig won't kill your re-sale by dropping the price of new ones also...

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

I dont think fountain builds a 35 or 38 Poker run.

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

donzr zr puts them both to shame

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

There are some GREAT deals on Gladiators right now. Fountain does not have 35/38 Poker Run, but will build a race boat if you want. Same thing, maybe more industrial.

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

Is that why they sell so well.

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

all it takes is one ride.. i forgot the gladiator is such a hot seller

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

You got that right. The Gladiator is liking driving a sports car

cig gods @ work :D

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

OSG, are there seat belts in your cockpit? Your graphics are mint.

Gladiator will give you a nice custom paint, Fountain will be plain'r.

i think you might be biased.... :D

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

Gladiator, no doubt!

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

All I'm saying is that the dealers can't seem to give those Donzi's away. Nothing wrong with the boat. The Gladiators have outsold the Donzi by a massive margin. Every Donzi we've seen on any big runs are owned by dealers.

I thought we were supposed to get you some help?

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

Gladiator is an awesome boat and will probably be my next ride.

Cool video of the Gladiator at www.raceboattest.com. Search all, high-performance boats, and you'll see it in the list.

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

42' FTN Poker Run and 36 Gladiator will run together in any seas. We ran the piss out of OSO Steve's boat and all I can say is wow. Both boats have small cockpits, but the cig will seat 5 vs. 4 in the PR (hey, a seat is a seat!)

Drive both and see which one you like better.

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run

cigarette nuff said :evilb: what makes ya ask this kinda of question

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

I've been looking at the 32 Spectre and since there is nothing under the deck... just looking at the options for the V. No since getting a T.G. if the cat didn't have any room underneath

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

comparing a 36 gladiator to a 32 spectre would be closer than comparing to the 42 fountain or donzi... the 32 will be much faster obviously, but won't take the water like a 36 or 42 deep vee either.... the spectre will have as much or more cockpit room, probably more storage due to the wider beam and i would guess better wind protection than the gladiator.. the spectre will be much cheaper compared to a gladiator... until you have to get insurance, then you probalby will pay more...

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

I've seen that boat in person in LHC, it's a very nice piece. I would still take a Gladiator in my opinion. Something about its lines impress me, plus I love the look of the sides with no rub rail. :drink: :drink:

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

I've ridden in that boat. It's the sole reason I like those Donzi's. It is super NIIIIICE! Darryl is as anal as it comes to taking care of it too. Someone is going to get a one of a kind bad a$$ ride w/that one!

Re: 36 Gladiator or 35/38 Fountian Poker Run
 

You're right, I was tied up to it at LBR and it's near perfect.... :drink:
