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 _________________ Pandy Girl |

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.
