Haha! That’s the way they were done at Cigarette on the newer Glads, so we just made this the same.

That's how the newer Gladiators were built

. Could be for grabbing on to when you climb over from the rear. IDK
Just figured I'd build it like the newer boats

Looks good. Reminds me back to my 2003 gladiator that i owned for one summer in 2006. Forgot how small the cockpits are.

Correct. But no better feeling as you are cruising at speed, out of the wind, sitting down, with the throttles in your hand.

Great project, love the Gladiator. Beautiful interior, clean and modern. I've been seeing more Gladiators around lately or maybe I'm just noticing them more.

Boat looks great back on the water!

Congrat's on a well executed overhaul. Definitely long overdue but it's time to enjoy the Glad.

No way you can look out the house every morning at this and not tent your trousers.

I have his boat at my house. Can't beat that view either!

Great colors and graphics!

bulletbob 01-27-2021 05:50 AM

It really does have a timeless paintjob. Also that is the most creative placement of the flag I have seen. Congrats on the completion of the refresh. I look forward to hearing of your new adventures in your new ride.

Have you gotten much seat time here lately? You gotta make a video of you driving that thing. I bet cruising it rides like a Cadillac.

speicher lane 02-10-2021 04:11 PM

No hard sun covers built onto the lifts/dock permitted in that area? interesting no one has them or is a hurricane issue???
