The Gladiator 631 Next was developed by several national and world champions of offshore powerboats to finally bring high technology within reach of everyday boaters who will soon enjoy the best of all: an astonishing power-to-speed ratio, reduced consumption and incredible range, comfort, silence, and space. The Gladiator 631 Next represents a whole new breed of high-performance luxury cruising boats. Its hull, deck, and superstructure are entirely constructed from high-tech composite materials, with a blend of carbon fiber, Kevlar, and E-glass with vacuum core samples. The hull is designed with two ventilated steps and negative cushions to optimize water flow to the propellers. The entire aft part of the hull has been designed to install JDM Special transmissions optimizing performance, comfort, and reliability by eliminating all external hydraulic hoses and fittings. As a result, with only two
Volvo 1000 hp engines, the Gladiator 631 Next can reach 48 knots / 55 mph. For those who need more adrenaline and speed, the Gladiator 631 Next also comes in a reduced deck version, called 631 Record, which, fully made of carbon fiber and powered by three Scania DI16 V8 diesel engines of 1150 hp each, reaches 65 knots / 74 mph, making it the fastest large center console ever built in the world. At 19.35 m / 63'6", the Gladiator 631 is also a true luxury yacht. It is available in two versions: two cabins + crew cabin or three cabins + crew cabin. The interiors are built with extreme lightness thanks to the intensive use of carbon fiber, noise and vibration damping foam, and a high-tech honeycomb furniture production process by the renowned Canados cabinetmakers. With a beam of 4.73 m / 15'6", the owner’s suite of the large cruiser offers spacious accommodations. We have chosen the Volvo Penta D13-1000 hp as the standard engine package.
