Hi John, Nice article with a well rounded discussion of the downsizing process and the attributes of the TomCat. Would be glad to welcome them to the C-BRATS fold. Wonder if they are still around, or were ever active here. The post-article note says "This article originally appeared in the December 2011 issue." of Soundings.
Hope they are still enjoying the advantages of the TC255. Love that boat name, "View Finder".
George Sass Sr., if you are here, check in and say "Howdy" and tell us how you are still doing with your TomCat.
Harvey

John,
The boat appeared to have Honda’s, based upon the color… _________________ Steve Baum

My gut tells me this was probably not "Viewfinder". Viewfinder definitely had black Suzuki's. They are based in the North Chesapeake area, and don't trailer the boat themselves--have trailering hired out.
I had the Privilege of spending some time with George Sass Sr. and discussing the Tom Cat 255. He agreed with me that the tunnel needed to be 6" higher. (the hulls 6" deeper). _________________ Bob Austin

We flew into Ketchikan, AK Sept 1 to depart on the David B ‘Learn to Cruise the Inside Passage of BC’ on Sept 5.
We saw several C-Dorys in Bar Harbor, cool!
Safe travels!
