One other thing that I forgot... one of my projects this winter is to add a a radar tower like this to my radar: http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?pat ... id=1921491 At the moment, when I have the new dinghy on the roof, it partialy blocks my 4KW Raymarine radar. As a result I get a less...

I love when I see a question about 24' Tomcats, as they are a rare breed and I am a proud owner! I have a radar arch that sits about 8" above the roof. I keep my dinghy on the roof all the time and run at 25-30mph all the time, with no issues. Basically, the two (pointy) ends of the tube in...

I have Tomcat hull #2 and I have 2 - 45 gallon aluminum tanks. This is by far may biggest complaint about my boat. This weekend we are going to run from San Pedro to the Northern Channel Islands, which will require us to stop in ventura on the way there and the way back to be safe. I get about...

I have 135's that ARE counter rotating? Do you have an audio recording you can share? If so, you can PM me and email me. While I am sure that my engines to make a "bad" sound, they do make a different noise when you put them into gear at low RPM, than they do at a higher RPM. If you have...

Glad to hear you are looking at a 24' Tomcat. We love our boat and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. We purchased ours about 18 months ago and we now have most of the kinks worked out. We have relatively new (400hrs) Honda 135's. They don't really make any noises at low...

x4 - I would love a video overview.

I hope not to completely derail the thread, but I have always wanted fishboxes on my 24' Tomcat. On my boat the Fuel tanks are in the location where the fish boxes are located on the newer models. My question is - on a Tomcat 25' where are the fuel tanks? Are they moved forward under the cabin...

Georgs, Glad to see another Tomcat 24' on the site, as they are a rare breed. I had some styrofoam in my bilge when I bought the boat. This was from two hatches that had been cut below the rear seat and galley, to install two through hulls. The shop that did the install had to remove two...

CDory23, We are over at Catalina most weekends. I would be happy to point you in the right direction for fishing and diving, if you want to PM me. We prefer the moorings at the other end of the island, with Emerald Bay and Howlands Landing being our two favorite spots. The mooring set ups are...

A good deal indeed, even with the need for a new trailer. I would agree that 115's are a better motor choice. I have Fuel injected Honda 135's and they provide plenty of power, even though they are a bit heavier than the 115's. Top speed for us is around 38 MPH, but that is fully loaded with...

Great to hear that you are enjoying your 24'. I have my boat in the water, so I have only launched and retrieved it a handful of times. Even on a steep ramp, it is hard to get on and off the trailer without burying the tailpipe in the water. My trailer came with a telescoping tongue extender...

We have a 24' Tomcat (actually the second boat produced) and love it! I can't deny Discovery's take either, that the 25' has a number of superior features. The head in the 24' is small, but two of my crew members are less than 4' tall, so I don't get all that many complaints. Our previous boat...

cmetzenberg- You are going to LOVE the Tomcat. We have a 1997 24' Tomcat and just spent a week up in your neck of the woods. Here is a video of all of the Northern Channel Islands. We happened to hit an ideal weather window and made it out to San Miguel island. https://vimeo.com/101133194 If...
