warlock 29 world class pros and cons
I'm in the market for new to me boat narrow my search down to late 90s 29 world class warlock or 27 fountain. Just want the good and bad in the two boats. I can't find much info about warlock boats other than there is a lot of wood problem in floor and such. Is that a problem in this year and is there anything else I need to look for.

I own a 01 25' World class. The wood and carpet floor is nice. It's like anything else, if it's not taken care of it will go to ****. (ie. left uncovered) I eventually want to step up to a 29wc. I'm partial, but I just love the hull design. World class hulls are built extremely well. Beast in rough water. Four full length stringers, very efficient stepped hull, 24 degree deadrise, Top and bottom decks are glassed together (not just bolted together, like so many boat companies do), which makes it supper rigid. A lot of attention went into the building of these boats, have to see one in person to really appreciate, better yet go for a ride!
I have to say they are faster hull. I get 73 GPS in fresh water with a Stock 454 mpi with only emi exhaust, K&N intake and a labbed 26p Bravo 1 prop. I know a lot of other comparable boats need more power to achieve the same speed.
One last thing to consider is that the 29 World Class is a true 29ft boat. It has no swim platform or beak like a fountain does added into its length. 27ft fountain is more like a 25ft warlock if you were considering the waterline length.
Just my 2 cents...
Best of luck with your search!

I think 2001 summed it up pretty good. Great offshore boat. Built solid. Very different then a fountain. Once you own one or ride in one the small fountain seems bland. I can run 91 with 725hp.
Ran in 2 to 4s this weekend and was a easy ride. Averaged 45mph solid run.

Not sure if the swimstep is included in the length of the 29 or not.
The fountains build quality will be more consistent than the warlocks so all you need to do is find a "good one" - but it is a small 27 comparatively and it has a 60 gallon fuel tank.
