I would say no. People can ask whatever they want but that doesn’t mean they will sell. I haven’t seen much move in the last 6-8 months.

Most of the Gladiators have sold quickly, even unlisted ones. The TS TG prices are way up.

The clean stuff sells quick........but then there are a bunch of tired boats (15-20 years old) that are trying to replicate the pricing for the clean stuff. This goes across all brands.

Hard to spend money on something all yellow or splashed with a bunch of colors like purple with old I/O power when you can start fresh with something like this:

34 w/400r's that has never been wet/new myco never dunked. Lots of warranty too!

I bet with statement owning them those prices won't stay there for long.

I think the reason V hull prices are up is simply for the most part other then a few Cigs and very high dollar OL's there has not been any made for what,,,,,, a decade now?

There still are people that want performance V hulls, sure we all want more reliable motors but the cost of getting into a OB cat and the cost of insurance rules those out for a lot of people. I have thought of buying a performance V and putting OB on but when the cost for the 450 is 58-62K BEFORE rigging it doesn't work out.

I will say if I paid over 100K for 900HP they better Dam well be dependable.

When playing with O/B's the question isn't dependability, or if you will blow it up, it is when. For HP to weight they can't be beat, unfortunately we all want to go fast and push them.

900hp and reliable? I guess you are not considering maintenance and general wear?

Statement has always been in the middle with pricing when looking at boats of similar style/comfort. I see no reason the price goes up much if at all now that they have it. One reason would be a totally custom job with materials not usually used.

I thought the Gladiators were relatively cheap compared to other cigs. There was a beautiful yellow, blue and red one with 750s I think that I believe was under 130k just a few months ago.

I also think at some of the gladiator price points it gets a customer in a sit down v bottom at a decent price , like some said , compared to a newer sit down OL. A buyer at 150k isn’t necessarily a 300k buyer. I think there a desirable boat in my opinion.

Unless you are talking about that 29 OL sit down for 150K..........8 years old! I think they were just about 200K new
