It's been 7 months since we purchased our new boat. We were so excited to be able to get a boat like this but the excited soon faded when both engines failed the first time out.
Well 7 months later it is back together again and we are finaly able to start enjoying the water again. Yesterday we took her out and everything ran find!
This boat is BADASS, Only took her to 80 mph, still in the break in period, will change the oil again before next week end. Didn't even get into the boost eek!

Warlock25,
I am not big on Warlocks, but your ride is most definately in the top 5 of my favorite boats. Glad to hear that you finaly got to take it out. I dont think I could have waited as long as you did to run it. Maybe someday I can bum a ride from you to see how she runs. Have fun.

Why would you want to sell it after waiting so long? What kind of top end could you expect out of it. That boat is "most excellent". If I was a lake boat kind of guy, I'd be looking at a twin engined cat. Very nice.

Top end should be in the 130 range.
We just have so much capital tied up in this thing and are starting to feel the pinch, living here in Havasu working for these F&^%ked up wages its alot of boat to support.
Don't get me wrong, WE LOVE THIS BOAT, it is purfect in every way. It's just hard to justify having our life savings tied up in a boat. So if we get a reasonble offer, we will probable sell it. cry

John thats funny (blow by) Thats what you would have done if you did see me. Was actully parked at Park Moabi most of the after noon.Then hit up the sandbar for a couple hours, then hit the channel til about 8:30 or so. Drove home this morning still exahusted after another great weekend at the lake. I think that was like my 17th weekend this year and there's only been 28 or 29

Why did the motors fail? Did Carter take care of them under warranty? That boat looks like the 28, but your name is Warlock25??

Glad to hear you're back on the water but i have three questions, Since I am planing in a new boat purchase.
!. Why are you wanting to sell it already?
2. what went wrong with the engines?
3. Why did it take seven months.
I've been looking for a new boat (not real hard) So I just want to know about the different boat companies and the customer service they have.

I've been looking for a new boat (not real hard) So I just want to know about the different boat companies and the customer service they have. 1. Really don't want to sell it But, I'm trying to get my business off the ground and need to build a new Air conditioned garage. The Boat is perfect and will never be worth more.
2. They were never put together right in the first place. Everything was wrong right down to the cracks in the blocks. One motor seized and the other one had water in the oil.
3. It took seven months, well actually about 5 from when we pulled the motors, because in Havasu you have to send everything out and wait to get them back. Once all the parts were back it only took a couple of weeks to re-assemble and drop them back in.
also Carter had nothing to do with the boat or engines anymore. It is a four year old boat and didn't have the original motors in it that Carter built.

Nice boat...Very nice. :D
Can't you get a second job to support your boating habit? J/K
Hope you can enjoy it for at least the rest of the season before you give her up... cry

Mr.Havasu
07-14-2003, 06:19 PM
We will! It's not like were advertising it anywhere. We really aren't sure if we are going to keep her or not. Probably won't do anything until next season. Unless someone from here wants it and contacts us.

Warlock your boat is bad ass and your priorities are straight - make money now, there are always boats to buy later.
