    Anchors aweigh!

    Oh yea we tried the back pull— I once hauled a 10 ft section of pinetree to retrieve an anchor out of Lake Lanier- but not even a bit of budge this time. And yes my D/H was yelling “ Put yer ass into it!” The entire time. No luck. As Towboat said, One for the books! ( and we’ve paid for many...

    Anchors aweigh!

    Something funny happened on the way to the ....... As TomCat newbies we attended the Pontoon Gathering a few weeks ago--highly recommend to all boat or not--and attended one of the seminars on anchoring. We thought we knew about that subject but found out we really didn't. Thanks Dr. Bob. On...

    Insurance

    For all TomCat owners we are curious as to who you have as an insurer and what is your payment. We called a few companies but no one seemed sure just how to price our policy as the boat was so unusual. We have Geico and pay almost $700 a year. Our Cat is an ‘06. We had one claim in 2014 when...

Can anyone enlighten us to what...

    Boat show repower deals

    Not an expert in outboards by any means. I can only go on empirical knowledge. I have had three very bad boating incidents in the past 4 years since increasing my time on the water due to retirement. 4 out of four involved Suzuki outboards all new or new new. All involved major engine malfunctions.

    Looking at the Tomcat 255 on the market.

    Unfortunately no. Owners don’t always update after boat is sold. I know admin tries but they don’t over rule the ads unless specific knowledge of a sale is apparent.

    Holding tank

    We have an 06 Tomkat hull #15. The holding tank is a 25 gallon version under the port berth. Our water tank is 40 gallons located starboard under the galley.

    Holding tank

    Does anyone know why the holding tank on the Tomkat is port side of the berth rather than under the head? My friends have a 06 26’ Dory and their tank is under the head. This makes way more sense than pumping all the way to the front of the boat. Also would cut down on smell while trying to...

    Housing was not working. Tried cleaning all but still nothing. So just spliced into wiring with Led bulb with leads and put housing shell over.

    2006 Tomkat windows

    Well I hope I am not jinxing myself but after scraping and scraping and cleaning old caulking out from around the window from the berth side I reapplied elastomeric caulk from Sudberry 301. I also added some Lifecaulk clear around the outside of the trim. I replaced the old gasket with new and...

    Cross bars

    Any advice on which cross bars or work best to put across top of Tomkat from stainless rails so you can put kayaks and such and maybe a roof box on top? Even an ad how system would be fine.
