Hello to the c-brats! You know how they say that the two happiest days in a boaters life is the day he buys his boat and the day he sells it. Well, it turns out that is not true. I have sold the TomCat and it makes me so very sad. :( But I really do appreciate all the help and patience you...

Hello fellow C-Brats, I have decided to lower the price of this one-of-a-kind TomCat to $114,500 -- but only until November 1, 2014. After that, the price will be $125,000. And on April 1 of next year, the price goes back to $135,000. This is one unique boat. If you want her, now's the...

Hello to all... Lots of interest, but no takers yet. So I have dropped the price to $125k. -mike

Hello to all, So my taxes came back higher than I expected so I have decided to drop the price of this very unique TomCat to $134.5k. Gotta feed the taxes-monster. :( Mike...

Hi Ray, Phil Jones, the guy who did that fiberglass work is truly amazing. He just loves working with fiberglass, and he treats every project like he was working on his own boat. I was so worried about this part of the project, and when I saw the final product, I was like a 5 year-old at...

Well, it's been a long time since I a posted a message here on the C-Brats site, but I was catching up on what's been going here for the last few years and saw this thread. We mounted mine (Stryker Go-Light) on the bow rail, and it works great up there. I have a remote control for it on the...

Amen! Marines: Semper Fi! --- mike

Roger, you have Hondas BF150s, yes? Might you know the model number of your Piranha kit? --- mike

Almost done with installing the Garmin AIS xponder (I went all Garmin). Unfortunately, I won't be able to give you real-world feedback until next season. But, I am pretty jazzed about AIS. --- mike

Oh, I see I wasn't clear. I wasn't really talking about the Marinaut. As I said, it seems a lot of care has gone into that boat. I was actually commenting on all boats purchased new (as in not used). Not about new boat models. For example, the TomCat 255 had been in production for a few...

Yeah -- I don't like bugs either. In particular, spiders, which aren't really bugs. :) But it is interesting, and frustrating, that all new boats have their issues. For the amount of money they cost, you would think that the dumb little things would just have been caught, at least after the...

Hey - take a couple of days away from the forum and you miss so much. Congrats! No... she is contemplating whether it will be a CD25 or a TomCat when she grows up. :) --- mike

Ha! :) --- mike

Well I finally found an LED light for the cabin. It's from i2systems, but unfortunately it's on a four-month backorder. So, it looks like they'll go in just befor the next season starts. Here is the spec sheet on the lights. --- mike
