Looks Nice.
They took the "TomCat" logo decal off the side, and without the shearstripe it will be harder to recognize as part of the C-Dory Family from more than a couple hundred yards off, but yes, it does look nice.
For comparison look at this pix of a TomCat in my Album.

Padded/finished ceiling with wood trim. Nice. Dig the white engines. _________________ "We can go over there...behind the 'little one'....."

Yeah, I noticed those too. Merc, and Yami's all dressed in white. Wonder what their reasoning for that color choice is?

What are prop specs?
Max rpm?
Is the transom bracket deck plate hold a big foot? |

Still trying different props . Many ways to prop a boat . We like to find the best . These are 6100 RPM red line motors .
Not sure what you mean by big foot ? Transom bracket is super strong . If you mean kicker I am still confused as its a twin engine boat ......

How do you determine when to install 4 blade props? |

Work boats, flats boats , jack plate boats [prop close to surface] , go fast offshore boats that fly out of the water etc are all candidates for 4 blades . You generally lose high speed performance but gain alot of bite on the water. You have to go down in pitch for the 4th blade and therefore lose top end .
We have never found benefit on a Tomcat .

A couple of questions.
Without a water line in the gel coat, how do you determine where to apply bottom paint?
I see that the motor pod is in the water at rest. Can the pod be bottom painted?
Can the motors be tipped up to clear the water? _________________ Larry H

I like the dark hull on the Tomcat. That boat looks classy and expensive, and it is. When we visited Wefing's last October my wife REALLY liked that particular Tomcat, and still mentions it whenever boats come up. That one really did it for her, and we were only on dry land! She didn't get to feel the stability or smooth ride in a chop, just "nice and roomy but not too big" was her refrain. Alas, it is at least twice what we will spend on a boat (or, at least, our first boat).
But a used Tomcat is on the short list when it is boat-buying time. _________________ Bill & Sherry C-25 sold 2020, next? |

I guess I'll be the grouch, that dark hull just doesn't do it for me. I'm sure it's a fantastic boat, but I still like the white hull and colorful sheer strake best.
Those 175s should push it right along. _________________ "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln |
