Guys, im selling my Fastech and looking into the idea of a Gladiator, looking for your pro's and cons of a performance V bottom sit down, Kinda got used to the bolsters, but love the idea of a sports car feeling.Previouse and current owners, how do you like the boat overall?
You will absolutely love the Gladiator. If you want a little more cockpit room, try to find a side by side setup. They are almost identical to the staggered Gladiators as far as performance is concerned.
There are also two different cockpit widths to choose from, one obviously being wider than the other. Sitting down rules. Long trips don't beat your knee's to death and the stepped hull smooths the landings out dramatically over a standard bottom boat.
I think you'll have a chitload of fun if you get one!!

Well put and my problem exactly. We love to bring people along and bail out at the lake. I know some Glads have swim platforms but I would think it would still be difficult to board with the painted engine hatch. I think I'll be in another Gun or Tiger.

Good question GrandTimes!
I always guessed the boat was since it didn't have a cabin that could contribute to a spin easier and maybe the lower eyeline since sitting attributed it more prone to to operator error.
(How's that for PC...)
