The Kid 'n' me has found a new home with a young, caring family in the Northwest and wishes to thank the many C-Brats that expressed a keen interest in adopting her.

Bob, Thanks for the helpful information regarding cat trailers. I didn't take note of the trailer used to deliver the Kid 'n' me but suspect it may have been a cat trailer temporarily modified for a Tomcat.

You're right Jack. A buyer would want to hire an experienced, insured boat hauler. Such a hauler delivered the Kid 'n' me to us without a scratch, properly blocked and strapped to a multipurpose trailer. Photo "Kid-21.jpg" was taken just prior to launching her into the Galveston Yacht Basin...

Jack, We didn't plan on moving the Kid 'n' me from the Galveston Yacht Club and Marina, so we saved the expense of a trailer. The marina has a 4-wheel apparatus that enters the water to straddle and lift medium to large boats and carry them onto land: or onto a flatbed trailer to be securely...

1999 24 TomCat, $42,000 (Galveston, TX). Kid 'n' me has white hull with blue underpinnings and blue cabin upholstery. Original, dual, 4-cycle, F-100 (hp) Yamaha TXRX's, with 171 hr on each (200 hr servicing in April of 2012). Kept on slings in a covered slip at the Galveston Yacht Club and...

Kitsop and rogerbum, I greatly appreciate your helpful quick responses.

Could someone give me a ballpark figure on the market value of a 1999 24 Tomcat kept on slings in covered slip, in very good condition with: ca. 150 hr on original pair of Yamaha 100's, diesel stove, sink, dinette/xtra bed, portable head, queen bed, cockpit canopy, Garmin GPS/depth & fish...

Georgs, Special greetings and welcome from fellow 24 Tomcat owners. We know that, like us, you-all will find it well worth the wait. Have fun bonding with "At Last"! Kerry and Lisa Harris

Joe, If the amount of concern that people have for one's well being is a measure of how much one is loved, you are a very fortunate man indeed! Wecome home. Kerry and Lisa

WELCOME ABOARD MATE. YOU HAVE YOURSELF A GREAT BOAT. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING SOME PHOTOS! KERRY AND LISA

Hi Jeff. Congrats on your new boat! Check with the factory about the the tank's height. There should be plenty of space beneath the shelf. The 25 (30?) gal water tank in our 24' TomCat is in the same location and doesn't come anywhere near half way up. If the tank height is a problem, I...

Jim, I am interested. I believe my Garmin 235 dates to 1999. Do you know if Garmin 235 and Garmin 185 charts are interchangeable? I look forward to hearing from you upon your return. All the best, Kerry

Our 24 Tomcat came with a Garmin GPS Map 235 Sounder. Rather than replacing the unit with a new model, I'm thinking of keeping it and buying a new hand-held for backup. Admittedly, it is a bit of a dinosaur; however, it works well and seems adequate. Do any of you know where I might obtain a...

Bob, You are in our prayers and wishes for a speedy recovery. Lisa and I always appreciate and learn a lot from your posts.

I second Dusty's TC24 comment, "You are not alone, Fred!" But what's with the "ugly" and "butt ugly" references to the 24's design. Are we alone in preferring the 24's lines and appearance to the 255's? Both cats are arguably the best in their class. The price of our used TC24 certainly...

Art, we are saddened by the news of your heart attack. We pray for your speedy recovery and many more enjoyable years ahead: with, of course, a goodly amount of time spent aboard your Sea Angel. Cordially, Kerry and Lisa

Alok, Those are excellent leads on earlier GB/CD postings. Lisa and I are finding it difficult being here in Bryan with the Kid'n'me in Galveston. We have only been down twice since it was delivered: quick 1-day visits to clean and organize the boat and set up the slip to our liking. We...

You've got a big second on welcoming a comparative discussion of the merits and seaworthiness of the Tomcat versus the Glacier Bay. There are a lot of Glacier Bays at the marina where we dock our Tomcat. The two boats definitely take a very different approach with respect to hull design. The...

I get 19 mpg city/31 mpg (one more than stock) hwy in my 1999 Doug Rippie Motorsports (500 hp) Corvette. The 31 mpg number is contingent on my being able to run in 6th gear at 75-85 mph. ( 65-70 mph in 5th gear yields 27 mpg.)

Ted J, Welcome aboard! We are happy you joined the family and wish you and your C-Dory all the best. My wife Lisa and I joined the group about 2 mths ago. You will not find a friendlier more helpful group of brats anywhere else. Kerry and Lisa
