The insurance will be noticeably higher on the Skater (call your agent). If this isn't a big deal GO WITH THE SKATER!!!

What kind of water are you going to run in? A 32' anything is going to have issues when it get's 4'+.

Skater.

If you going to get stuck sitting down and without a cabin, go for the cat, it'll be a better ride and it's a faster boat.

skater. they are the best. Cabine wise i don;t think the gladiator has much on it. Cockpit wise they seat the same. Skater is gonna be faster with less power.

What kind of water, you will spend a lot of time at home if you get the Skater on the same day you would be out in the Gladiator. In my opinion you always have to compare a v to a bigger cat, not smaller.

And if you want a Gladiator you can buy the OSO one and I have a brand new set of 525's with warranty. You can buy the whole package for $175.

And no, this boat was not the boat that was hit in the St Pete race

Gladiator....It can handle the rough water.

Hard decision. I am a Skater man, but Skaters aren't for everyone. Get some seat time in both and then decide.

OSO, we will not tolerate the sale of boats in the general discussion area!! You must have a platinum or gold membership in order to advertise a boat for sale.....in the BOATS FOR SALE SECTION!! Someone call troutly quick! We have a violator on our hands.Move this thread!:D ;)

You aren't kidding! He'd be all over that statement like stink on chit!!! :D

Go Skater. Once you experience a big cat a speed you'll wonder why people screw around with vee's. They are amazing. Like others have said, go for a ride in one... there will be no question afterward.
