Ultra Rare Warlock 25 World Class

[Greg Guimond]

I've never seen one of these offered. This is a rare 25 degree V with a step and a pad. One of the best rough water boats under 32', it also has very high freeboard and a spot for a potti for the wife. This is not the Offshore model that Warlock offered, it was based on the Warlock raceboat and very few were made. This could almost convert me to I/O. Fast hull with stock 502 power and looks like freshwater She probably has no idea what she has Someone will get a family sleeper and a wave crusher.

This one http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/boa/2236551257.html
Back around the year 2000 when racing in the APBA P-1 class,, these Warlocks were hard to beat..

nice boat if it was closer it would be in my barn

Correct smidgen, that is the CL listing. Warlock has had two ownership periods, I have one from the Tom Stolarz old school era who was the brains behind the designs. Yes, they won a LOT of races but most folks have no idea what they are capable of. This one has the better option of the 502 which is nice for future fiddling if so desired. Most of the left coasters take these things to the River and raft 'em, so the use is normally very light. They tend to wax 'em more than run them........ This model World Class is a lot different with a 12" delta pad that allows the hull to free up big time for speed when conditions are right. Or drop the snout and let the 25 degrees go to work

I met Tom Stolarz at the 1990 worlds in Key West nice guy. Tom tried to get us in one of his 31' cats to replace our tired Eastern Express Shadow cat . We went with a 32' Skater instead.

Is it true. I read someware that warlocks have a wood floor covered in carpet ?

[Greg Guimond]

I can't say on this particular hull but my hull does have a sealed wood floor covered in carpet. Remember these are west coast hulls, you'll often find carpet. You would have to confirm the exact build on this 25 but in general it is built in the 27's footsteps. Remember though this model is a drivers hull, you won't get in an master the step run one, and if you have never worked with a delta pad it will take time to understand how to make it run. Warlock did a lot of different models, although none in large numbers. Most folks get the models confused. This 25 is an 8' beam boat, unusual for that deep a V. This is not a boat to buy remote and have shipped in, you have to go and sea trial it, and have it surveyed properly. One thing is the sale will not break the $20k mark. Most folks are scared off by a step in a small hull. You could never touch a Powerplay 25 or Active Thunder 25 Tantrum for close to that # and they might be a tougher sell to the better half

greg
what is the differance betweem the euro and this boat is beam differant degree of hull different,

[MDonziM]

A good friend of mine had a 23' Warlock back in the early- mid 90's with a 454 mag. Honest 70mph boat with no steps, no pad. Super solid boats.

[Greg Guimond]

Two totally different hulls. Euro 24 is a 25 degree straight V with a 6'6" beam. It was a carry on from the 23 World Class Offshore but with the integrated swim platform added for the extra foot. Here is a watershot of the Warlock 24 World Class Euro in pic #1. The yellow Warlock 25 World Class is a 25 degree V with a step and a delta pad plus tremendous freeboard height. It has an 8' beam. Hope that helps

thanks greg
are the open bow euros the same 6.6 beam found one i like with a hp500
but 6.6 is narrow

[Greg Guimond]

What year is the Euro you found?

[DAULEY]

late 90s i think its a 98 its a freind of a treinds boat that he is thinking of selling
are the open bows 6.6 beam ?

[Greg Guimond]

Check the exact build date and the HIN. It would be very unusual (not impossible) to see a Euro built that deep into the 90's decade as they were mostly 88-93. The bowrider is also a bit out of the norm as the Euro's were almost always closed bow. The left coast crowd could have installed the open bow well after the boats birth. I would need to see a transom shot to be sure that it is in fact a Euro but the fact it has a bow rider area installed means nothing as it would still be a 6'6" beam hull. The snout on these hulls is especially narrow, and don't lend themselves to bowrider installs. Send more photos. If the boat is in fact a Euro, you should know that the design of that boat makes for a nice ski jump for water into your _ockpit if you are not careful when coming off plane. If the bowrider, in a wave crushing V is appealing to you, there are much better options then the Warlock World Class Euro 24.

Dauley did you grab the 25 yet? To illustrate how fast the 25 World Class hull is, here is the test data from Hot Boat when they tested the boat back in 2001. Pretty efficient at 66mph out of a SBC.
