Mark, I recently put a tall radar arch on a 2009 Tomcat. There is a 7.5" drop from the area near the outside where the feet would be mounted. With that in mind, I ordered one made 22" in height. That allows about 14.5" for a dinghy. I also had the rocket launchers mounted on the sides. The...

Coming off the Alaska State Ferry.

Roger, no I don't know my fuel burn yet. I will get it dialed in and let you know later in the season.

Hello Bob, We took the boat out yesterday. According to the dealer, the tack was not hooked up correctly. Our rmp came up to 6,300 or so. I am not sure of the specifics. At 3,500 we were getting approximately 20 knots. We were heavy and there was 2 - 3 foot chop. Thanks for your comments.

Hello Mike, I would also like to change my username. I joined before I had a boat name (dbrena) and now I would like my username to be my boat name (C-Roamer). Thanks,

We splashed the boat today and tried again after finding that the tack was not properly calibrated. The rpm came up to 6,000 - 6,200 at a speed of approximately 40 mph. This was with three persons, full fuel and full water. The prop that is installed is a SS 3 x 15 1/4 x 17. I am satisfied with...

My bolt holes are also on the No. 1 position or as far into the water as possible. I forgot to mention in my original question but I also have Permatrims installed.

Hello All, I received my Tomcat on the ferry from Juneau and took it out for the first time last week. I only had 8 hrs on the motors so I didn't open it up for long but, it would only reach 32 knots at 3,800 rpm. That was WOT. We were heavy, with 4 persons, full fuel and full water. I have...

There is a good book, How to Catch Trophy Halibut. Also www.halibut.net and google for salmon university for some good information. I will be going out for several trips toward Cross Sound this summer. Can't wait.

Waiting for trailer parts.

One more thought: You could trailer to Prince Rupert and load the trailer/truck on the ferry to another port, like Skagway, and then boat in one direction. Arrangements could probably be made to take the truck/trailer off at the destination port.

Richard, trailer and truck storage is available in Skagway at the City lot near Skagway harbor. The harbor master is Matt (907) 983-2628. It is getting kind of late in the year to get ferry reservations. They do book up quickly in and around the summer. You can drive to either Skagway or...

Just wondering if anyone went to the trouble of installing wiring to their front receiver? I am installing a Draw-tite front receiver soon and I have the EZ Loader with the Buddy Model A-160 Surge brake actuator with disk brakes. I will also be installing the electric over hydraulic for the...

I just measured my Tomcat which is sitting on an EZ Loader trailer. The overall height is somewhat between 12' 8" and 12' 10". This includes a 22" radar arch and a Furuno 4kw dome. The 22" radar arch actually sits approximately 14.5" above the highest portion of the pilothouse because of the...

Congratulations on your purchase Brian, Mounting the chart plotter is a bit of an issue. Depending on the size, the options are on the curved portion of the console, behind the curved portion in the area between the starboard window and the center window, or from the top of the pilot house...

Just wondering if anyone remembered the size or part numbers of the Rev-a-Shelf wire baskets and the door mounted shelves for a TC? Thanks.

I would think that the fewer possible obstructions the better and I would mount it outside and high up. We do lose Sirius signal and even GPS in Alaska on a regular basis. Why compromise when a potentially better mounting is available?

Hello Doryman, I am not sure you would want to be out in a 30' - 40' boat if a Tomcat couldn't handle it. My last boat was an American Tug 34 and I have been in a storm force storm with it near the north end of Queen Charlotte Sound. The boat was fine but I wouldn't want to be fishing, I was...

Hello - I am currently in the process of having electronics installed on a new 2009 TC. This boat has the Wallas heater which I think is ok for heat but not much good for cooking. I had the same heater on an Eaglecraft and I used a small butane cooktop to cook. I prefer MFD and am installing...
