Couldn't make it past 5 min.(and I love Gamblers) That dude is SERIOUSLY long winded-babbling.
Never the less it'll be cool to see some new boats get built this year hopefully. Wishing the new ownership much success !

Terrible video, I called and priced a new Sterling, crazy high prices for a start up company. Just my thoughts.

I’m glad they’re being built again buttttt don’t think the vid helps anything.

I don't know who that guy is or care to know who that guy is, but not helping the cause in my opinion. Classifying a Champion above a 2000 and newer Gambler/Sterling is completely insane.
That dude obviously had no experience in a modern Gambler and he admitted no knowledge of a Sterling.
3 Gamblers and now in a Sterling, from 1990 183, 2001 Intimidator 2000, 2005 Intimidator 2000, 2010 Sterling 22.
Gambler/Sterling has always been a custom boat in my eyes. If I want the quality and the expense that comes with CUSTOM, I for sure want to pick my colors and setup.
From what I hear the new owner is trying to set up dealer network, that will be a failure in my opinion. The first major failure will be the new owner's pricing.
The new owner's pricing made my decision to repower my 2010 Sterling a whole lot easier.
Hey Gambler/Sterling take care of the thousands of boat owners on the water before you start spitting out more.

Not a gambler guy but could be, like the boat but hate the way it sets in the water. Can you get them to level out.

no, that’s part of the boats style.Originally Posted by 6xd
This guy is long-winded and kinda hard to follow but I can appreciate his passion! I am excited to see what the future holds for Gambler.

The Sterling 22 doesn't sit @ss heavy. You can level out any model just with moving T-motor batteries to center compartment OR switching to lithium batteries.
I get that these new Gamblers are out of most people's price range, but you gotta understand that these are a hand built, bespoke product. I've been deeper into my 209 than I maybe ever should have, and being a mechanical/manufacturing engineer for a living, I would NOT want to build bass boats, let alone a liner built boat like a Gambler for profit. It's extremely expensive and time consuming to do this stuff. Otherwise, I'm glad that they're back, and the new owner knows his stuff.
My gambler sits very low in the rear. If I ever get too old to walk up the hill to the deck, I'll probably buy a......
another one
What was the price for a new Sterling?
What was the price quote for new Sterling?
I would guess that the price would be on par with every other manufacture building boats.

What the hell did he just say, sounds like some politicians rambling nonsense, can't even read his own email
I all boils down to a Startup company. Having owned 3 G boats, I knew the quality was there.
I think base model was being advertised around $80K with the Upper models north of $100K.
If they're pricing the boats at 80k-100k, then that is comparable to a new Johnny Morris Ranger of similar size...you pick what you'd rather own.
