tomcat towed into marker 4 venice fl

[patrick and linda]

Was enjoying dinner at marker 4 on the icw Venice Fl. And in come this nice looking tomcat being towed. Had twin outboards so not sure what happened.

Perhaps the 2nd Tom Cat in history to need a tow.
See "Tough boating day ends with Sea-Tow."
Most likely, just practicing.



Cheers!

I can assure you this wasn't a practice run! Sea tow captain clipboard in hand. Collecting info for invoice. I was wondering how both engines shut down.

Hi Pat. I let Pandy Girl Sit in the Barn for about 6 weeks this Summer & the Carbs. Had to be Cleaned out. (Bad Gas & had fuel adds in it) With the Tom Cat he could have had some Elc. Problems. Do you have your boat down here? We are at Fort Myers Beach

 

[patrick and linda]

No boat, motorhome, hope you and your bride are both doing well.

 

[Pandy Girl]

Thanks Pat. We are doing great, I sent you a PM

I lost both engines a couple of years ago, and had to be towed in. Bad gas in Friday Harbor was the #1 suspect, although not proven. Had to drain the fuel tanks and 6 carbs. Not a thing you can do on the open water, so a tow it was.
