It's set to private so nobody can see it.

I can see the page easily. You may have to have a Face Book Acount and be signed up for the C Dory page?

The boat is $35,000. A good price. I would guess that this may be an estate sale, or someone selling for an older person, judging from the photos. The Boat has Washington registration, and is in a high tidal area. I don't recognize the harbor.

If interested one should call the phone number and find out about the boat.

De Moines, WA.

It's a 1999.

Two Honda 90's... the phone # is 206-940-5837. Donna Vincent.

I agree that it seems to be a sale from someone other than the "the owner"... I'm guessing a widow. There's little actual info, but my initial gut reaction (which I shared with her, TBH) is that it was underpriced - but obviously that depends on a lot of unseen variables.

There is a boat which fits this description from De Moines, WA, with twin Hondas Gray trim "TabbyCat"?

Does anyone have correspondence with or knowledge of the owner: Ted Osborne?

The 24 Tom Cat is considerably lighter than the 255, thus rides better, with better tunnel clearance. There is a disadvantage in the Southern waters, of the slowing forward window, being s solar collector. That is at least partly resolved by a canvas "Bill" over the forward window in a SS frame, and opening the window to get air flow.

We have one in Pensacola, which did belong to my neighbor--and is now owned by his son. Jame's "Molly Brown" comes to the Hontoon gatherings.

These are great boats, but different than the 255--more like a 22 is to the C Dory 25.

Dr.Bob is right in that it's not comparable to the 255, but for us having owned a 22, the TC24 is 3 times the boat. I will never forget the first ride home from 3Rivers Marine....It looked and felt sooo much bigger than the 22 we traded in. For us, a great boat and we are very comfortable on her.
