    I've been perusing the adds

    Donald, I traded the 2003 24' TomCat for the 2006 255 TomCat. I sold the 2006 TC255 in 2020. It was getting harder to launch and load for us as we were in our mid 70's. The boat I should have kept was a 2006 22' Angler. Rear helm and the best fishing boat I have owned. We have been retired...

    I've been perusing the adds

    I first saw a C-Dory in 1980 in Cabo San Lucas, MX. We were there for Christmas visiting Dixie's parents who wintered there every year. A couple from Oregon, Ivy and Marge Howard as I recall owned two C-Dory classics. One they kept in Cabo for the winter, and a second they kept in Petersburg...

    R23 electrical upfit!

    Great write up! I'm going to follow as I'm retrofitting an Adventure 89RBS camper to solar and lithium. You give excellent diagrams and parts lists. Planning to make at least one more summer trip to Alaska. I bought a 555 AH battery from Lithionics in 2018 for our Tiffen motor home...

    120 VAC to 12 VDC water heater conversion anyone?

    We carried a Honda 2000W Inverter generator on our 255 TomCat. Kept it in the front starboard sponson, under the bed until needed. I put it on the swimstep, exhaust pointed aft to operate. Hot water in 15 minutes. Two could shower, one after the other. We often cruised for up to 3 months at...

    Big 'ole cooler to double as bench seat?

    https://www.k2-coolers.com/collections/hard-coolers I used a white Summit 120 K2 cooler in our TomCat for a seat and as an excellent cooler. Rugged and efficient. Sold the TomCat, but still have the cooler in the 5th wheel.

    The Passing of an Icon

    We first met Bill via the old C-Dog site. We were asking on info about the Texas coast to cruise our 24' TomCat. Bill sent us to Goose Island State Park in the Rockport, Texas area. We were at Lake Powell with the Fiero's for many different trips. His knowledge of the geology of the area...

    Water in port sponson

    I had a 2003 24" TomCat that leaked water through the baitwell drain hole. It was drilled oversize and would inject water at speed into the port sponson. The leak was between the laminations of the fiberglass and not visible from the top or bottom. In fact the leak was so bad and impossible...

    Not in the market - but IF I were...

    After the sale of Discovery we were very close to buying a larger boat and doing the Great Loop over a few years time. We really liked the Great Harbour N37 and actually had placed an offer to buy one. We had plane tickets and hotel reservations in Rhode Island to inspect the boat. The problem...
