    Trip from Virginia to Alaska with Tomcat in tow.

    I bought my first Tomcat a year and a half ago in Norfolk Virginia, but I never wrote about my trip. Now I am. After looking for boats for four years I decided on a C-Dory Tomcat. I live in Anchorage Alaska, and there were not many for sale close by so I broadened my search to the what we...

    Removal of motor bracket on 2006 Tomcat 255.

    Hi All, Well I (we) got the bracket off my Tomcat. It was not easy and it was not pretty, but it is off. I tried Anti Bond 2015 from West Marine, that was all they had at the time and they said it worked. It did not help as far as I could tell. I could not find DeBond or Un-Hesive, which others...

    ARE 200 hp Suzukis too much for the 255 Tomcat?

    Hi Again, I am thinking repowering my 2006 255 Tomcat with 175 hp or 200 hp Suzukis. I am mainly considering the 200hp because they are only 25 pounds, each, more than the 175 hp and they have the latest technology. I am thinking I may get better gas mileage if I keep my speed down. Also I...

    Converting water heater tank to diesel fuel tank for heater?

    Hi, I have a 255 Tom Cat and I am getting an esbar D2 heater installed. I plan to remove my water heater tank and use that space for the heater, but then I wondered if I could use that tank, modified to store the diesel for the esbar. Any comments would be helpful Dave
