02 gladiator
Dose anyone have any info on this boat.... i believe its been for sale for a while but it looks really clean! I am considering trying to sell or trade my gun for it. I would prefer a staggered gladiator but the this one is in the speed range i want and in the price range.

Lots of hours, especially for a V-tech boat. Heard from reliable source they(motors) have been in and out of boat "more than a few times". Nice boat though, and I've seen it up close.

I'd personally go with the OSO boat, similar set up without the chargers and the 525 is a big improvement over a 500EFI.
Take the 525 boat and then put a little of the difference in money into cosmetics that you like graphics/interior stuff and you will have a better package, lower hours, and probably still come out lower on price.

Re: 02 gladiator
I was on that boat 2 years ago.The boat had vortech superchargers at the time and ran well oner 100mph. Vortech is 100% better than pro-chargers.The bad news is that two years ago that boat was in what I would consider heavily-used ,fair condition.It was painted by Harold @ grafikworx and is a good looking boat that probably needs some TLC (if not done already)
