I'm not sure if he meant the price or the speed when he said it "runs 84-3" as it sits".  :(

If the pics don't work I can try to host them, they are hotlinked.

I know a few guys around Michigan that have G boats. They seem to handle the big water pretty well, maybe better than expected. The Gamblers are real nice and I like the features in this new one, but they are way above average price wise. I've always liked how big the front deck is. I think last year's top end boat was $65,000, I'm afraid to ask where this one comes in.

wow

with tax that is around 90,000.00.   Put 20,000.00 down and it is only 585.00 a month for 20 years.

That's more than I paid for my house. But then again I can't fish out of my house.

Gamblers seem to run pretty well in rough water.....I think they are a quality boat...Not really what I am looking for but if they fit your niche I am sure they would make a great rig....

I think you could get 4 houses for that. I have wanted a gambler since I was probably 12.

There's an ad for the Sterling in the new Bassmaster.  It doesn't mention anything about Gambler.  Is this a new spin off or something?

I saw it in Bassmaster too and I was wondering the same thing. I don't see the name Gambler anywhere on the boat. I would think that if it was a new model made by Gambler it would say Gambler on it somewhere. ???

It's a "Special Edition", like the Intimidators (Intimidator and Intimidator Dale Ernhart Edition). Neither of them have Gambler on the side (they have Intimidator). As a matter of fact, the only ones that have Gambler on the side are the 2100 and 2200 models.

I think that the reason that you don't see it on the website is because the Sterling is brand new, and Gambler is a bit slow updating their website.

gambler/sterling either way it looks the same to me, sure maybe some new storage ideas but that's it. the hull dosn't look changed at all, and from what i've read the company is now called Sterling not Gambler.

a g-ride is a good, well made boat. it runs very well, handles very good, has a massive front deck, and is fast..

however
there live wells are in the back on the very out side of the boat.
the back deck is not really made for partner fishing.-i have more back deck space in my 16 foot stratos-
if your into shoulder to shoulder team fishing the front deck is great..

customer service is close to non-exsitant..

i was goin to buy on in 02 till i got the 411 from a friend..
