i watched them pull the gladiator in and it was sitting very low in the water but not under, the tow boat made a few circles around the marina at a fairly good clip to keep the boat from sinking till they could get the trailer in i guess. i went over and looked at it a bit later in the day and didnt see any damage. must have been bellows or somthing. that has always been one of my favorite boats to see, great graphics.
