    Tomcat Fishbox filling up

    Sure will keep you posted on the livewell / fishbox if we ever create it. The basic idea would be to use the port side fish box as a live well and somehow plum the water intake from the existing raw water washdown which is already on that side. We would drain using the pvc with holes in it...

    Inverter for boat

    The inverter we installed in previous boats was hard wired to the house battery. We have used the portable inverters purchased from Costco for around $40 and they worked fine for laptops, etc.

    Spot Prawns?

    I went spot pawning with Starcraft Tom a few years back. It was my first experience with it. Since then, I have done shrimping in the San Juans (Iceberg Point) and it was a blast. The prawns can be very easy to catch or somewhat challenging to find. Most important thing is to have bait and...

    Loan Value on a 23 Venture...

    I have seen the banks struggle to loan on c-dorys as the value is almost certain to be lower than what the actually sell for. Give Boeing Employee Credit Union a call. They seem to be more in touch with the actual values on boats and have favorable rates provided you have good credit. You do...

    Fish Box Macerator Pump

    Could be a fuse. Could also be your pump failed. We have rebuilt and replaced those pumps several times already on the various tomcats that we owned.. Other times if we turned it on and heard no sound, it was an electrical problem. Good luck in your troubleshooting.

    What are the REAL TomCat 255 performance numbers.....PLEASE!

    Our Tomcat with Suzuki 150's was doing 42MPH moderately loaded. Im not sure if different props could squeeze a few extra MPH. Given that this is plenty fast enough, we have no interest in changing props to find out.

    What are the REAL TomCat 255 performance numbers.....PLEASE!

    Seems pretty good given that the factory numbers are likely with brand new engines and ideal conditions. If you are wanting more performance, you might need to find one with 175 suzukis swinging props mated for the top end you are seeking. Having had now 3 Tomcats, I can say that each handled...

    Would you consider a penthouse suite for your C-Dory

    Perhaps it would work for sleeping accommodations when tied up at the marina for those extra overnight passengers. We have slept 5 on the Tomcat 255 in the cabin and it was tight. It helped that the other occupants were 2 women and 2 young kids. 5 adults would have been too much. Not sure...

    NEXUS Passes Applied For

    We applied for Nexus and have primarily used it for traveling by car to Canada. One time earlier this year prior to receiving our passes, it took over 2 hours to cross into Canada by car. The last time we went to Canada, now having the pass, it took 5 minutes. The customs officer asked where...

    Camframo "Stor-Dry", model 9406

    Our TC24 in addition to heater, insulation, and small dehumidifier had a solar ceiling fan. Between those 4 items, the interior stayed dry, warm and fresh (not stale) inside.

    Camframo "Stor-Dry", model 9406

    Tom The dehumidifier we use is the Gurin DHMD-210 Electric Compact Dehumidifier found on Amazon for under $50 shipped. It is small, lightweight and quiet. As a side benefit it uses only a small amount of electricity but still gets the job done. Every time we go to the boat, it has collected...

    Camframo "Stor-Dry", model 9406

    We ran heaters while the boat was in storage to keep mold and mildew at bay. What I discovered was that using a heater and a small table top dehumidifier it kept moisture down more than just the heater alone did. Just a suggestion for folks who are trying to battle moisture during the winter.

    Also, if you insulate the cabin, it will lower the temps inside.
