Beautiful boat. I love how the carpet and SeaDek come together. I saw the first 1 a couple of times in Laughlin last year.
I’ve mentioned many times that I felt my 24’ Lavey would be great with an outboard. But I’ve always been an outboard boat guy, the wife picked the Lavey.
wanted a Daytona my whole life.
I grew up with the poster that had the 19’ with a front spoiler between the forks on it in my bedroom.
Fell in love with the 22’ Daytona that bully had.
Would actually consider the “Mardi Gras” boat with the V-10. Last I saw it was 98k at an open house. At...
It’s not going to win any races. But it does fine. Usually faster than the Big Rigs, but still slower than passenger cars on long grades. I have not really driven it without 6-7k lb behind, does better with more gear options than our V10 rig did.
We bought the Gladiator specifically so we could;
Wheel It
Tow it
Tow with it
And daily it.
Works well in all situations. But every single situation does have another vehicle that would do better. But in my opinion, no other vehicle can do all those tasks as well.
Bryant’s were money whores with or without the accident. I had no respect/concern about them before. And still don’t.
Never have really given a damn about how someone plays a child’s playground game.
I guess this post means I have already payed them too much attention.
🙊. 😝
BTW, the...
A lot of the ppl on
Our construction crew have been wearing the Heatwave safety glasses. I can’t wear glasses all day after they’ve been scratched, so I can’t (choose not) afford to spend $45 every other week.
But those who wear them seem to like them.
Got my 11 yr old a traxxas trx4 for Christmas. He loves it.

My son is 11, and I told him recently that I wanted to get us standups. Was thinking a 440 for him and a 750+ for me. Tricky part is living at lake Mead which has a ban on 2-stroke pwc’s (apparently, though I have seen many in the last couple of years). But we enjoy the Blythe and Needles parts...
Thanks, We like the Sting Grey, but there are so many of them. We have a ruining joke every time we see another. One of us will say “You know, there’s other colors, Lol”
Wife wanted Gobi which wasn’t an option. If I were buying again, it would be Hydro Blue or Snazberry.
I think they are a great all around vehicle. We tow our boat with it (≈6000lbs). We trail it, and tow it behind our RV. We opted for the diesel and get just over 20mpg on road trips, though the current price of diesel means it doesn’t really pencil out like it did when we bought it.
Not totally sure. Owner’s manual states “in park”. For the manual trans it says to tow in 1st.
I think it has something to do with the transmission free spinning while towing. 🤷♂️
Transfer case in Nutral, transmission in park. I have the NSA surge brake tow bar for braking requirements. Aftermarket winch bumpers can sometimes be cheaper than a baseplate. Currie makes a decent baseplate also. And Maximus 3 make towloops that bolt on behind the bumper.
