You should hear how the conversation went regarding me selling it. Short version.... after a couple years of Bobby asking me if I'd sell it, he and I were casually chatting about nothing special and I flippantly said something to the effect of... "I just don't think I'm ever going to get around to resto-modding my Gladiator. Maybe I'll sell it. What's it worth without motors and drives -- $X.XX dollars? I've got too much money invested in them to let them go with the boat" Bobby quickly said yes.... it's worth EXACTLY that.... and the rest is history! LOL Couldn't have gone to any two better Cig guys! :-)

And when Joe delivered the boat to me and before I paid him he
made me promise if & when I want to sell it he has the rite of !st refusal.

He's now buying another boat so he told me he's waving his rite.

Default Diamond Stitching


Longer Diamonds or Shorter?
I think were going to go with a little longer than the longer ones on the piece on top

I like the longer. The short ones are too square.

It looks like a failed attempt to do diamond stitching... the level of refurb your putting into into the Cig would draw attention to the "Square" diamonds being "odd"
