The Gladiator,
Is your boat the one listed on lip ship??......If so that's the boat that's got this thought running through my mind.

Re: 38 Lightning vs. 36 Gladiator
 

The lack of a cabin is something that has a rough spot on the idea but one thing about it is i never use my cabin. maybe to store some bumbers and some life jackets but that's about it. I really like doing poker runs and the gladiator seems to be more of a poker run style boat.

Turns on a dime, give ya nine cents change!!!

I need a cabin and at that a/c too. The 42' 2005 Fountain has a redesigned hull I understand. Both the Cigarettes and Fountains are Ferrari's in my humble opinion. Depending on the day I could go either way depending what I wanted to spend. The Fountain offers a lot of value. The Cigarette offers a lot of curb appeal on top of performance for a price.

I took a 42' Fountain out (and looks aside as that seems to be a key factor here) it is a wave crusher and very good at handling and very fast. I have not taken out a stepped Cigarette yet. So buy the one you like because you can't miss with either is what I say.

Notice the horizon....... that boat was about 3 degrees from rolling over!!!

So you do the law thing too>?

You were drivgin a Cig or Fountain in your dime turning pic?

Re: 38 Lightning vs. 36 Gladiator
 

Yup, I do the law thing..... of course it was a Cig, everybody knows that a fountain wont go fast enough to spin!!!

Re: 38 Lightning vs. 36 Gladiator
 

I have just reached a point where I think you can't knock a Cig or a Fountain. They are both winners.
