The Award-Winning Gladiator 8.0

A deep-V bow shape with planing strakes delivers a fluid ride, while the raised sheerline keeps spray off the deck. The flattened stern and extended reverse-chine gullwings enable effortless planing, and increase stability at rest, whilst allowing the transducer to be mounted flush for better protection.

The cutting-edge centre cabin configuration is the ultimate platform to accommodate the entire range of fishing techniques used by the modern angler, operating up to many miles offshore, in frequently unpredictable climates.

Twin walk-through transom gates provide easy access for fishing and diving, as well as the ability to boat big game fish on either side. Duckboards extend the usable space, and Broadbill's unique tapered duckboard design keeps the stern up when backing down on a fish, as well as eliminating slapping at rest.

Rod holders exactly where you need them hold up to 35 rods from stem to stern. Multiple species of live bait can be kept in top condition, thanks to two separate live bait tanks and four built-in tuna tubes. And there’s ample room to keep your catch fresh, with two high-capacity, floodable kill bins in the cockpit floor.

Hull construction is 6mm marine-grade aluminium plate with full-length keel doubler. The 550l fuel tank gives a cruising range of ~400nm. Dual battery banks provide ample power for overnighting. Some would call it overkill, but redundancy is reassuring when you’re miles offshore.

An intuitive electrical system with fully automatic VSRs and always-on bilge pumps; dual anchor winch with remote anchoring from the cabin; drive-on trailer with remote-operated winch. These are just some of the many features that make the Gladiator 8.0 one of the most user-friendly boats on the market.
