My boat in 2000 was 29ft single step. with bone stock 500 efi boat ran 88 mph. They have made huge advancements in prop technology. I can only imagine how it would run with a 525 and new prop. As light as this boat is i bet the figures are close. Remeber this thing is very light. All there new boats are light and hence one of the reasons they see the speeds they do.

Why does everything need to be wrapped in alcantara, how does it hold up to water being all over it?

I just got back from a ride in the new 29 with Mike. Boat is unbeleivable runs perfect, no chine walk, no tab needed. Very smooth over 2-3ft waves, and yes top speed was 94 on the rev limiter. It will go close to 100 when Mike is finished playing with it. These are not whipple boxes so lets not start that.

94, Very nice.
Somebody, tell OL to update their website. It still says 28sv? and has the line drawing & computer mock up. I'm still not clear whether this is 29 + the swim step, or 29 including the swimstep? Anyone know? |

Thank you for that! Some of these claims sure seem outrageous, and honestly how did Warlock come into play as the fastest V? I've never heard that. Typically in this size it's a Velocity with steps and a big pad I thought that topped out the highest?
What do I know, I do 70 w/ 500 hp.:lolhit: |
uncle dave
my boat weighed 4000 lbs ran that number all day long. I ended up over a min ahead of the second place boat at trhe worlds. I lapped almost half of the field. I am sorry you dont believe the figures. The boat beat several f2 boats at the worlds. I had the boat hooked up. If you have any other questions let me know.I will be more than happy to give examples. |
It is also one of the best handling single engine boats . Period.

It was a super light canopy boat though. The race version of this 28 EVO which holds it own against anything HP/LB Velocities are always fast per ft/hp Unsure if they are a true 24 degree v though. The 27-29 ft single engine space has a lots of really great choices and Outerlimits is one of the few that could impress me. UD |

A stock boat and engine will absolutely not do that. Makes MUCH more sense - A stripped down no interior raceboat weighing around 4K would probably do about what you are describing. UD |

Sorry I didnt explain better. The motor was bone stock. After the first race they tore me down. Also I as spinning both 30 p bravo 1 or a 32 depending on what the conditions were. |
The boat was a 2000 but I ran it starting in Jully 1999.ran through 2000. Won the worlds in 99. Some of the f2 guys came up to us after the race and were telling us how awesome we ran. The boat just plain flew.

I ran some in 200o. I had the yellow boat and ran under the warlock factory name.

Few things I don't like:
1) Rear vents that are way too close to the water. One wake against the transom and those vents will be underwater. 2) The stern design makes poor use of length and pretty much eliminates any effort to have a working swim platform or a ladder. 3) Looks very hard to get to the bow. 4) Cockpit is limited to sit down seating. 5) Colors chosen will be extremely hot in the summer. So much so that you simply could not enjoy sitting in the cockpit of this boat in TX in the dead heat of summer for any length of time with the motors off. Your best bet will be to jump in the water, but your pretty much SOL if you want to get back in. To get to the bow, it just takes a little bending. I like lower, sleeker boats so I don't mind that, my 43 coming is cut down. Plenty of room for the ladder in center, you are correct if you talk about it being offset. The sides is strong enough to stand on though so technically you could get on there, but not quite as easy as a normal swim platform. Standard ladder can be bolted from bottom, another option is the ladder that slides in and is hidden, same as 43/44. I thought, and most did as well, cockpit was actually huge. I'm 6-1 and had ample room for my knees in every seat. Colors were picked by owner, which boats in Mass so its not really an issue on the north/east coast. Also, the alcantara does not get anywhere near as hot as vinyl or leather. Still in Havasu, it would be warm but not unbearable. |

Physics? Do you know what torque steer is? Thats the problem with all big single engine boats..........torque steer. In general, most of the 28ft+ boats with single 500+hp are also plagued with out drive problems on a regular basis.........especially in rough water use......... which may be why OL and merc are rumored to not be getting along. Don't believe me go look at all the big powerd sabers, panteras, activators, etc. Their always fighting drive problems.......which makes for an unreliable boat IMO. I may be entirely wrong seeing that it doesn't appear to be a 29ft boat at all. I'm just throwing out words of caution. This boat could certainly be lightened enough to eliminate drive concerns and maximize speed by going to a bare bones cabin and super light layup, but really, at that point your much better off going with a 28 skater or the like. I don't have any problem with ya'll drinking the koolaid but I'm not going to be forcefed the utter BS coming out of the three plus threads on this boat just cause it has an OL on the side. I mean chit guys, you act like you never seen a bustle on the stern of a boat before..........OL puts one on a 28 to call it a 29 and you guys run around pretending its a revolutionary design. This boat isn't any more or less revolutionary than the deck design of the failed adrenaline 30 or the steps of the new 38 HyperSonic. Did I hear 90mph with the 525? If so this boat doesn't even match up to a superboat Y2K IMO, the superboat is two feet longer, has a useable cabin, and will run close to the same speeds with a 525, while costing the buyer almost half as much. The 29 warlock will run 100mph with 525 and cost half as much. So whats left? The shiny bezels and chrome? The paint job and colors that makes the entire boat useless in warm climates? Not for $100K over the competition......... With the magazine test and reviews coming soon, this boat will certainly set new standards. The monocoque design, agressive styling, quality materials and componets and race inspired design will set it apart from others. As with everything, it won't be for everyone, whether its price, style or fear of speed. Many that crave speed, handling and the OL look and feel will love it. There will be quite a few coming soon so time will tell. |

And i gotta say... the alcantara seats in my S4 are nice and grippy... don't get hot or cold to the touch. Just not sure i'd wanna hose them down. But if i swung as big of a d'ck as the owner of this 29... i'd just replace the alcantara every year. :evilb: |
There sure is a lot of pissing & moaning going on about a boat, by people that probably can't afford it to begin with, going on here.
Neat boat for sure. If you don't like the colors, the power or the interior I'm sure OL will build it & color it just how you want. That's what they do. They build custom boats. Pretty cool custom boats in my opinion. |

I dont have that boat any more.It was purchased by a professional hockey player and I cant seem to find it. It was a special piece of glass. Not many were built like it. Lance payed special attention to it due to the fact he was going to be racing in it. I always felt safe in it. I wish someine would buy the mold and out a new deck on it. I currently have a 27 warlock. I have a 540 with blower and FI I will be using to tear up the ocean around AC. |

I see no need for emotional outbursts (name calling) when simple disagreement can suffice.

I believe Raylar said the Merc 600SC makes around 670hp.
That's a lot different than a 525, although still pretty impressive. |
