SLT Collection, our Florida dealer, presented three Gladiator specifically build and equipped with the US client in mind.

A Gladiator 431 Walk Around with twin Mercury V12 - 600 hp was on display together with two Gladiator 493 Grand, one with triple Mercury V12 - 600 hp and a specific aft deck design where the sun pad has been replaced by two L-Shaped sofas and a bar with three stools while the other one, more Euro styled, was powered by twin Volvo Penta D11 - 725 hp coupled to surface drives.

Unfortunately for our team, the card gave us the exterior line, thus making the first lap a bit longer and bringing us closer to the beach where the backwash of the swell is tricky. Therefore, and with a high-speed potential and a perfect set-up of the boat, and starting in 4th position, Gladiator passed two boats and with a good 4 mph faster than the leader, it decided to head for first position before turn one. Unfortunately, at the time of passing the leader, the proximity to the beach and passing over a sand bank played their role and the boat hit an unexpected bigger hole.
