Or maybe you like a wacker on the backer like me, but want an offshore deep v hull like a 22 Classic. If so, then this 1996 Superboat 24' would be a great fit and there are not a lot of them out there. It's not a Warlock but these Superboats are true 24 degree dead rise hulls with deep freeboard and a small cabin. This boat is in mint condition and turnkey ready to go with a 2011 Mercury 300XS OB and mint trailer. The Opti XS motors get incredible gas mileage while still pushing the boat to 75mph on GPS.
The price? Asking $24,900 but no "book of the month club" option so who knows what it will end up selling at

I had a 24 for a bit and liked it. A lot of eastern seabord people like the Superboat 24 because of the true cabin and wave crushing 24 degree V we all love and the narrow seven foot beam. It's also nice to be able to run for a 10 hour day with the family on $100 worth of gas with the Optimax 300. That said, the 300XS motor alone is $18,500 new, yet the owner can't get $25,000 for the whole darn rig and might accept $20k I suspect.

Now maybe someone wants "newer" as Bert had mentioned. You don't need to spend even close to $100,000. Here is a 2009 Sutphen 21 SSX OB with a 2009 Mercury 225 Optimax. This boat is in "as new" condition, freshwater use only, and turn key ready to go with several options. This is Richie Jr's new 21 design. The Sutphens have 40 years of boat building experience and a ton of racing wins. This particular 21' boat with the little fishin motor runs 72.8 on GPS. What would this hull do with a 300XS? Calculations say about 88mph. The exact same boat with a stock 525 Mercury blue race motor clocked 93.4mph on radar. Not bad for a round bottom, non pad hull design like a Donzi 22 Classic. Give Jeff a call and pay him $30,500 and go boating. The exact same boat is also for sale with a 377 Merc B1 package right now. That hull is a 2011.

How about a "new" 16 footer like our 16s? No problem.......you can buy the brand new Tuff 16 with a Mercury 60hp EFI 4 stroke and do 61mph. Huh? Yes that is correct, a 60hp 4 stroke race motor on a 16 foot hull from Canada. 60hp for 61mph. That is technology at work when I think of Buizilla's Donzi 16 doing the exact same 61mph with TWICE the horsepower. Somewhere over the rainbow .......

If I had the coin this would be hanging behind the house. I too have a 22c that I would like to sell but fear the scrutiny will be way overwhelming with $25k invested 6 years ago I don’t have a clue where to start for an asking price.

Am I seeing the price correctly at $55,000?

Yes that boat has been on the market for years and started out at $69k it was a $150k restore. That is a lot of boat and a exelent quality restoration for the money.
Not to mention its one of 3 and only 2 are left from what I have researched. It may be the only all glass one made too.
Here is a 28 too.

Not exactly my "cup of tea"...
Now, how about $6,000 for this project including it's deck?

The three boats above are great used performance boat deals but sooner or later, any discussion on good performance boat values ends up at a Warlock's doorstep. This 1995 Ultimate Warlock 210 LXI Open Bow is the first small hi performance hull to be fitted with a Duramax Diesel. That must have been expensive just for the motor you say? You would be correct, but none of that "investment" really matters now as you can buy the entire mint condition rig and go 77mph for $30,000. And I'm not blowin any ............. smoke
Just give Ken a call, he's had the boat for sale for over a year now with no takers at $30k. No monthly coupons though, only a bag full of benjamins!
1995 Ultimate Warlock 210 LXI – 650hp 6.6L Duramax Diesel - Over $60,000 Invested
Your viewing the first boat documented to be rigged with a modern GM Duramax diesel engine. In 2007 California base diesel performance specialists Pacific Performance Engineering “PPE” combined a pristine condition 21ft Warlock open bow hull, with a 2005 LLY Duramax modified to produce 650hp and 1300ft lbs of torque. The boat was fitted with custom fabricated 4” stainless steel thru hull exhaust, marine sea water pump, marine oil coolers, and a custom built water to air charge cooler. All electrical components like wiring harness, fuse blocks, and engine monitoring systems were specifically designed and fabricated to fit this engine setup.
Once the engine was ready, an out-drive with proper gearing capable of handling the Duramax power was needed. They equipped this boat with a brand new Mercury Marine Bravo1 XR stern drive unit featuring a 1.26:1 gear ratio. By mid 2007 the boat was completed and used for performance testing and advertising by PPE. In November 2007 the boat was featured in Diesel Power magazine, article available online here:
http://www.dieselpowermag.com/featur...sel_speedboat/
I purchased this boat in late 2009 with about 50 hours on it. During the first summer of ownership an oil system restriction was discovered, the engine was removed and disassembled for inspection. At that time we decided to do a complete overhaul, updating it with the latest in Duramax performance parts. A complete list of upgrades is shown below. Since the overhaul the boat has performed flawlessly. It's been used exclusively on lakes and rivers from Florida to Canada. It's also been used for promoting Biodiesel fuel and is recognized as the worlds fastest Biodiesel powered boat. A video of this record setting run, along with several others of the boat are available here.

The performance of this boat is unmatched by any production boats of this size. Beside running 80+ mph, the fuel mileage is incredible. Depending on chosen power settings, average mileage is between 5mpg and 7.5mpg. With an 85 gallon fuel tank, range exceeds 350 miles. Due to the sheer cost and difficulty of this boats build, today it remains one of only a few custom Duramax powered boats that I'm aware of. So it's highly unlikely you'll see another like it anywhere. To build another today would still cost over $50,000 in parts alone.
