Posted by mistake.

I'm pleased to say that I can answer my original question as to whether TomCats are still being built.........yes they are! Found a dealer ad for a 2012 today, although I suppose it's debatable if it's a 2012 or a 2011. The interior is trimmed in the manner of the 2009 pics I've seen (in which...

It's a nice thought, but even if both companies were to agree I could see it becoming a nightmare if we ever had to deal with warranty issues.

We recently visited Marc at Wefins and were able to look at a variety of boats around the 25' range. Thanks for being so generous with your time Marc, we had an informative and educational afternoon. We found that we liked the basic concept of the TomCat, but not the execution. It appears to...

From what you said earlier it sounds as though you've lightened the boat and you're not dragging a forest of plant life around on the submerged portion of the hulls. That makes it likely that it's an engine problem of one sort or another, and if so then it would be unusual for both engines to...

Yes, fuel consumption in terms of volume/time (gph) is more meaningful than volume/distance (mpg), unless you're always boating in conditions of zero wind/tide/current. My knowledge of the higher power four stroke outboards is minimal at the moment. Do all the larger manufacturers now use a...

I was under the impression that it was one of the major features of the boat. This is from the current Triton site, Tomcats section, at the bottom of the 'Features' page: http://c-dory.com/boats/tomcat/catamaran-255/ "The fuel tanks are located in each pontoon and can be accessed or removed...

Yes please, I'm really keen to see the difference between the two, especially as to whether the fuel tanks can be as easily removed with the one piece interior as they're supposed to be with the earlier one.

Thank you!

That's really good to see. Is there a link to the factory album? I couldn't see one on the Triton home page.

Thanks, it looks to be a lovely boat but we're really set on a cat.

I'm hoping that's what was meant! :wink: Bob, thanks for the invitation to Pensacola, but it's a 700 mile round trip from here which is a bit too far for a quick look. I'm hoping to get to Wefings in the next couple of weeks to see Alock's boat, and if 'Captains Cat' is in Sarasota in a few...

Thanks for posting that link, it was probably the most detailed review I'd come across so far.

Thanks guys, that's all good news. :D As long as a couple of things fall into place I'm going to try to get up to Wefings in the next week or two, which should be a good starting point. I see that Alok's Tomcat is there, so we'll be able to see one first hand if it hasn't been sold.

Hello all. I'm already a cat convert as we sail a PDQ 32 catamaran sailboat. However, we're thinking of transitioning to a powerboat and the Tomcat 225 seems to fit the bill in almost every respect that suits us. We don't have any problem with buying pre-owned, but we've never seen anything...
