My 2006 C-Dory TomCat (Hull #16, now Captain's Cat) arrived new from the factory with a screw protruding from the bottom of the hull. :shock: Fortunately, I noticed this before launching. Don't worry, Charlie. C-Dory paid to have it fixed properly. :) Brock

The TC has been sold. :( Talk about "finding a good home." Charlie (Captain's Choice) will now be at the helm and the boat will reside at his place on the lower Potomac. Cheers C-Brats, Brock

I have placed some photos of the TC in the for sale by owner photo section. Brock

We are putting our 2006 TomCat up for sale again. The asking price has been reduced to $78,000. The boat includes: Wallas Stove Norcold Fridge Windlass EZ Loader trailer 2001 Suzuki 115s w/less than 200 hours VHF Radio There are no electronics other than the radio. Brock

I ordered the Attwood vents but was unable to use them since the existing vent holes on my TC are too close to the underside of the gunnel. I could have relocated the holes but decided to go with the Perko vents to keep it simple. So far so good... Brock

John, Yes, those are the same vents that came with my TC. But the location is somewhat different. My vents are located just above the rub rail, not below. The surface of the hull is actually angled a little skyward at this point, which I believe added to their tendancy to take in water...

Not sure if you could be having the same problem I had last summer with my 2006 255 TC. I was taking on huge amounts of water (up to a gallon) in heavy rains in both tanks, most in the port. I eventually replaced the tank vents with a Perko brand vent that has a little hood to shed water away...

Actually, it says, "No rules, just be nice." So isn't that a contradiction? Maybe it should say, "One rule, just be nice." Isn't being nice a rule? Sort of like the Golden Rule? Wait, what was this thread about? Brock

I discovered recently that my macerators are held in place only by the hoses going to and from them. There are four screw holes in the transom wall behind them where it would appear they once were mounted. Would the vibration of the pumps have torn them from the wall already? Is it ok for...

Wait a minute. I have always assumed that my tanks (hull #16) were 65 gallons each, based on the early literature and info provided by the dealer. Today I was replacing my fuel vents (the old vents inhaled water in heavy rain) and I noticed a white sticker on top of both tanks. Using a small...

I have hull #16. 130 gallons. Brock

Has anyone used C-Level? What about Vitamin C? Brock

I came across the above post while trolling through the bilge of the archives. :) I was wondering how it would work on a TC 255? It seems like a good idea. Anyone heard of this being done? Two Dogs? You out there? Brock

Ron, thanks for posting this. The overall look and the cockpit design are not my cup of tea, but I'm amazed that a 29 foot cat hull can be built (apparently) with so little weight. Not to mention the low horse power requirement. Does anyone know what the top speed is with the 160 hp maximum...

I've found it tracks very well trolling with one engine. I would definitely recommend the aft steering to anyone who plans to fish from their TomCat (or any pilot house boat). Especially if you might fish alone. Wish I had gotten it. Brock

My fish boxes fill with water from rain but also from simply being underway. I have to drain them every time I return to the slip. The water is backing in through the pumpout drains. I mentioned this in a phone call to the factory the other day and they had no explanation or fix. Surprised...

I'm sorry to be a party pooper, but this doesn't sound like the TomCat I own. Mine pounds harder in waves than my old V-hull (1982 25' Pursuit cuddy) and leans out and cavitates in turns. Maybe I just expected too much, but I'm rather disappointed with the ride. Don't get me started on the...

I forgot to mention also that I looked into the clamshell vents at West Marine and found the only sizes available to be either too small or too large. The larger size would stick out past the rub rail, the smaller size is just too small to fit over the vent. I might try installing the other...

The water is definitely entering through the gas tank vents. I have had them taped up through recent rains and no water appeared until... I went down to the boat yesterday and found that during a recent heavy rain, the tape had unraveled from the vent on the port tank. Took the boat out and...

Early and often! :wink:
