Sorry if you already have answered this,I’m getting old and can’t remember so well,what are you doing for the Floor?

Seeing your build, is starting to persuade me to hunt for a gladiator.... I really want a playboy edition 35, but these gladiators are growing on me, and have me thinking a little. Nice work tho, looks really great!

I can't wait to see it finished. I need a trip to FL this winter.

Poker Face Xtreme 10-26-2020 07:05 PM

boat looks terrific. While you await your first splash, may want to have a clear windscreen produced. I have a smoked windscreen but always go with the clear. Much easier to see.

It is a clear windscreen, just has brown paper over it so it doesn’t get scratched. 👍

hey Steve, I should have assumed you thought of every possible detail and were simply protecting the clear windscreen. Both looks terrific. Congratulations on a great project.

They are not normally thru-bolted and can work themselves loose.

Excited to see your finished project.

Mine is getting some needed work, including new CMI headers as we speak.

Awesome! That’s slick how the armrest mold into/around the gunnels.

TYPHOON 12-23-2020 10:39 AM

Im shocked the seat will come out or go back in with the arm rest wider than the cockpit. I do like it.

Wildman_grafix 12-23-2020 11:33 AM

I was wondering how they could get the seat in as well.

Surprised that its framed out of wood and not star board?

Educate me on how they lay out a Glad when they are staggered? Where does the back seat go?

The backseat in a staggered Gladiator is right behind the behind the two front seats. There is a lot less cockpit room in a staggered.

Staggered. Just less space between front and rear seats.

Absolutely gorgeous! Super classy yet understated. Bravo!

Quinlan 01-19-2021 07:30 AM

Looks great! What are the indentions in the back of the head rest about? Another drink holder while floating?
