I'll up it one.... I smoked a 41 Apache in 3-4's with 800's and SSM 3's. I sliced the waves and he chopped them. Dont get me wrong other boats are nice too.

This summer a 2014 Cigarette 42x with 1100 mercs tried to hang with me at the old saybrook poker run.water was pretty rough I paced him at 110 mph which was top speed for him and a 0 boost cruise for me.

After a few minutes of that I got bored so I showed him what a fountain can really do (142 mph ). I'm not a cheerleader for ANY brand but I know MY fountain will crush any cigarette. Oh by the way I live on Long Island south shore and do the majority of my boating in the Atlantic Ocean not a calm water lake.

Seems like a 42x with those motors should be faster than that, I thought 42's with 700's run over a 100. No doubt a 42 poker run is a bad machine.

Ok, this thread can go on for 10,00 years..... SO, go take a ride in both. Se which one ya like better, which one looks better to you and then go get one of your own. They both have a huge name in the industry. Bottom line you gotta wake up to it everyday and look at it everyday. Not us. Just tryin to help.

I will admit the 36 gladiator is an awesome machine. I love it. no cabin but no rubrail either , and it just looks sweet. just be careful at low speeds it will go over.
and coryyc has a very valid point.

indeed. skater has one of if not the finest layup schedules in the industry. others are fine as well but they are great at strong , light, layups.
