The transom is more like a Bumble Bee than like a Gambler.. The hull is on a 17.5 degree pitch at the pad which is slightly steeper than a Stratos but not as steep as a Gambler.. The Hull looks a lot like a Stratos but has some changes.. I just didn't see anything that looked like a Gambler to me.. I was under it , in it and all around all day.. I watched one go through various stages of production as well.. The boat is like a Stratos in some ways, in other ways it is like a Bumble Bee with a hint of Champion thrown in here and there..
