The one ton should be plenty ample to pull either the TC 24 or the TC 255. I pull my 22 Cruiser with a Ford F-350 Powerstroke Diesel (can't tell the boat is behind me because it's so light). The single rear wheel F-350 has a towing capacity of 12,500 pounds, and the dual rear wheel F-350 has a...

There's more pictures of the new Tomcat 255 on the EQ Marine website. Link: http://www.eqmarine.com/C-Dory%20Boats/2006_TC255_Photos.htm Jack

Thanks for the responses everyone. Took some preliminary measurements after talking to the dealer and manufacturer. Looks like the axles are about 1/4" off right now. Going to offload the boat tomorrow, readjust the axles (thanks for the post on doing that gljjr) and I've ordered 4 Goodyear...

Not sure if this is normal wear and tear on tires, but wanted to pose the question before I get new ones and have the same potential problem. On the right side of the trailer, the front tire has worn very badly and the rear isn't far behind. On the front tire I've got cupping/bald spots...

I believe the new TC 255 will hold 130 gallons of fuel. Minimum horsepower is 230 and maximum is 300 HP. Hull weight is estimated at 4200#, so add about another 1,000 pounds in motors and about another 1,000 in fuel and she will be tipping the scale around 6,500# wet.

El & Bill, OK, not an expert on outboard engines here, but after having the carbeurated 75 Honda on the 22, if I were ever to repower, I would probably go with a Yamaha fuel injected. Now we'll get into the debate of whether fuel injection is better/more reliable than carbeuration. Never ran a...

OK, just got done installing my Sprint 600 windlass on the boat. A while back, I remember seeing a picture of where somebody drilled a couple of holes into the factory bow roller and attached some fender washers to help keep the flukes from their Danforth anchor from chipping the bow of the...

Gary, Well, if I would have been more sure of my measurements, I would have mounted it flush, as that's how I had originally planned on doing it. I thought about the domes originally, but wanted to mount it flush, but when it came time I realized it might be too close to call, so I wound up...

Ken, You are correct, the starboard fuel tank front clean has started pulling loose. Have been extensively reading the thread about this. Plan on fixing that soon. Too many projects going on right now. Need to install the Sprint 600, the factory swim step, and some other ideas I've gotten...

Don, Here's a link to a picture in my photo album that shows the transom rail mounted on my boat. This is the one available from the factory. Link to Photo Jack

Chica, I just ordered one late last week from John. Didn't have the Honda "color" in stock, but did have the right size, just not in the Honda silver. I've got the Honda 75, so I believe the plate that fits the 75 also fits the 90. I got one in gray. Will be installing it tonight. If you...

Duke, I just had a custom bench seat made that runs along the entire transom in the cockpit. Just posted pictures in my photo album of it. Just click on the Salty Dog link to the left, then go to page 2. I installed the deck to level the floor, then mounted the seat post base into the...

Steve, My wife and I spent our honeymoon on one of the Canal Cruisers on the Erie Canal. Very nice time. We used the company MidLakes Navigation out of Syracuse and rented one of their 34' boats. These boats have pretty much everything you'd need. Just bring along some food, drinks and your...

David, I saw the factory seat on somebody's boat, but I can't remember whose. I checked the pictures of Anna Leigh as a 22 and see the base of it in one of them without the cushion. My concern with the factory set up was that to get it out of they way it would probably swing down which would...

James, I'm 6'2" and my wife is about 5'7" tall. The berth has plenty of room for both of us. We also have two Miniature Schnauzers that love to sleep up in there with us. No problem at all for all of us.

Ron, I just had a custom bench seat made that stretches across the entire transom. It's about 70 inches wide by 18 inches deep with 3 inch foam cushioning. Depending on the size of the person, this could be used as a berth at night. Would probably want to have a camperback enclosure around it...

OK, Bonnie and I are set with a slip at Lankford for Friday and Saturday nights. Will be just the two of us. We decided to leave the Miniature Schnauzers at home. Tom, I'll be launching by your house and using the field for parking like we discussed. Sure do appreciate you putting this all...

Adeline, Great thread to start. I noticed that the company you contacted is in Dublin, Ohio. Just so happens, this company is only about 4 miles from my office, so if anybody needs any more info than what is on the website/brochures, etc., I can always try to swing by and talk to them directly...
