Stopped by Lip Ship on my way home from Key West. I got a look at the very last Gladiator to be built. Phil and his men did an outstanding job on this beauty. The paint has got to be seen, up close it looks like brushed stainless steel. In my opinion, the Lip Ship Editions are in a league of their own when compared to factory ordered Cigarettes.

Check out the attention to detail! Lip Ship Rocks!!!!:sifone:

The pics really don't capture the depth of this project, the stitching was perfect, assembly was spot on, no corners cut, a really classy clean piece.

I was talking to Tommy Gun about his new 39 Unlimited- it has the 700/nxt's. His GPS tattle tale reads 107. I don't know if I want to go 125+ in a Gladiator. :)

P.S. What's with that bump on the hatch?

Has Philly let out the numbers on this ride yet?? Itd be interesting to see what and how it runs.

He's just started to dial it in, not sure of speeds so far.

Phil and Neill Hernandez worked for over 6 months on the cockpit interior alone. It's some of the best stuff I've seen from Cigarette and when these two men team up on a project the end results really stand out in a big way.

As a big Fan of the Lip Ship Editions, the heads at Cigarette should be real proud of this piece and Lip Ship Cigarette in general for being such a great ambassador for their fine product!

She's bad, and according to Phil, runs better with the NXT than any Glad he's ever been in.....And it's FAST! Like Kurt said, not done dialing in but it's already looking good.

She's running 110 right out of the box. Phil's got several more sets of props to try. I would imagine it's a totally different set up with the NXT's and much larger dia props.

Any final speed results on this boat? Is it also true that this is the last gladiator they will build?
