How would you compare the ride of a 35 T/S, Gladiator, 38T/S?
Also, does anyone know anything about this Gladiator?

Gladiator and 38 TG should give you a better ride than a 35.A staggered Gladiator setup correctly might be a hair better than a TG.

Speed wise the Gladiator will easily be the faster boat with equal power. The Top Gun will take a more abuse than a Gladiator mostly due to the higher freeboard and weight.

If you're interested, and ready to buy, I'd suggest calling Phil. He has several boats that are not on his site. We were there last week for the boat show run - He has a "sick" gladiatorhe's wanting to get rid of, if you're interested.
Thanks again for ALL of your help, Phil.

I dont own a fountain used to a couple of years ago. I've changed boats and didn't change my name. I now own a Hustler. I am flying down this weekend to Phils to test drive a Gladiator.

In all seriousness, there's nothing wrong w/ Fountains. They're obviously good boats. Hopefully, you knew I was poking fun.
Keep us posted.
