After over ten years of great trips around the Northwest I have sadly decided to sell my Tomcat this spring.

After seeing her at the 2010 Seattle Boat Show, I purchased her from Master Marine in April 2010. At the show there were Suzuki 150hp engines fitted but I decided to have the 175's installed for better performance and the new VVT engine system.

I have made a number of improvements over the years, mostly by myself other than the electronics and the fabrication of the frame for the davit system since I wanted the stainless parts fully polished.

The only thing that isn't fully operational is the watermaker, for which I have the parts but haven't had time to finish.

She is in awesome condition!

She has always been kept indoors except for a few days between trips. I do have a very nice cover for the boat if it has to be outside for more than a few hours.

Ideally, I would like the 2001 Ford Excursion to go with the boat but since it has the much loved 7.3L diesel, it should be easy to sell separately.

I haven't decided on a price yet so I'm somewhat counting on the C-Brats combined wisdom to help me there. Smile

Added a few recent photos to my album.

Does anyone know which years of Tomcat had the complete interior done in marine vinyl? Mine has that and I was always impressed with how quiet it is inside and I also appreciated the insulation factor.

TIA

Hi Easy,

The boat is 5min away from me here. The price is not yet determined and I'll get some more photos when I show the boat this Saturday.

Wow what a boat. Not many boats better outfitted on the west coast. Good luck with the sale. If I didn’t just have to restructure my company I would be asking for a price and putting the hitch on my truck and coming down. Taking all of my will power not to ask for a price and going to the bank to get a bank draft!

Is there a rear canvas? I’m going to send it to a friend

Thanks for the comments. Looks like you get some great fishing up there.

No rear canvas. I didn't want to cramp my fishing.

Folks;

I looked at fellow Anderson Island resident Brian's Tomcat, which he is planning to put up for sale. I have fished on and visited many, many, boats in my 67 years (my father was a waterman on the Chesapeake, and I grew up there), including several C-Dorys, Ranger tugs, Boston whalers, and other various working boats. I find it hard to believe that this is a 10+ year-old boat. It clearly has been kept in a garage when not in use, and used carefully when it was out. If anyone is thinking about a Tomcat 255 at the higher end, you'll definitely want to consider this one. Based on what I saw, you'd be buying a nearly-new quality boat.

Rob,

Thanks for the visit and the report. I have added a bunch of photos to my album.

I have settled on an asking price after help from some C-Brats.

I am asking $135K for the boat and for an extra $10K you can drive away with the Excursion too!

Thanks to everyone.

I'm just across the ferry in Steilacoom. While I"m not in the market for a Tomcat, would love to meet up and pick your brain.

It looks like my Tomcat is sold and headed for Santa Barbara. Thanks to all the C-Brats that helped me through the process.
