My buddy's Scout. He's had it 50 years now and had rolled it both ways lol.
That's pretty cool that he's had it all these years. Does he drive it often?My buddy's Scout. He's had it 50 years now and had rolled it both ways lol.

Yeah he drives it fairly often. He lives off grid about 20 minutes up a dirt road from me, it's good for that.That's pretty cool that he's had it all these years. Does he drive it often?
You’re not getting away that easy. LOL. We need to see a bit more. Please!!!Arms are tired today. A lot of White Diamond action to bring some shine back. Slow but sure.

Some 502’s with Vortech V4 Race M’s on them. 750hp a side to push 36 feet of Gladiator.You’re not getting away that easy. LOL. We need to see a bit more. Please!!!![]()
Damn impressive. Next level. Hats off!Some 502’s with Vortech V4 Race M’s on them. 750hp a side to push 36 feet of Gladiator.
The Gladiators are pretty much a race layup, 5-6 seats and the entire nose is all stringers and bulk head (no cabin).
It’s been a work in progress trying to get everything up to snuff. Been working on it with what little bit of free time I have.
Below is a thread a buddy of mine made on a boating forum:

Oh my Lord, I got 10X what I asked for. LOL. The pics and the LINK was more than I expected. Thanks! I went through the entire 2-page thread and learned a lot about you. You not only have two awesome race boats, but your care for them (and your trailer) is meticulous. I'm sure you get a ton of enjoyment from them and the friends you've made. Looks like your wife is an active participant with you, and that's awesome as well.Some 502’s with Vortech V4 Race M’s on them. 750hp a side to push 36 feet of Gladiator.

I'll be watching for them.I’m glad you enjoyed it Bob! I can get picky with my stuff, try to keep it tip top and make improvements along the way (chipping away slowly at this one, parts are expensive!)
We do get a ton of enjoyment out of the boats. Practically all summer whether it’s on mine or friends. I’ve met a ton of good dudes in the boating world that I talk to daily.
Yup, I keep her busy with upkeep too. Cleaning/polishing and she’s my driver when it’s time to launch them. She grew up country, so it’s no issue for her to back in/pull the 43’ trailer around.
I’ll have a string of updates for that thread this spring. Like to do it in batches rather any small updates.
