I recently had a new top made for our Tomcat by the folks at "Pro Welders" in Sopchoppy Florida. The Boat was getting a fuel tank replaced by the guys at Wefing, and Marc Grove thought "Pro Welders" would be able to help out. Those of you who have been around, will notice a similarity to the top...

Shame on me!! I spoke with Marc Grove on the phone yesterday, and he told me ya'll had come to town. I missed the show news completely. I spoke with Bob Austin last friday evening, and he said you may stop out, but something must have interrupted us, or I never got around to asking what you...

I've used this product on three different vehicles. We currently tow our Tomcat with an 01 F150 4x4 Supercrew. Although power wise the truck is at the upper limits, the suspension handles the load very well. ARS is designed to allow a little bit of flex, and increase as weight is added so you...

No rollers yet, but the silicon spray on the bunks does help. My wife has suggested a roller trailer instead of bunks. Maybe on the next trailer. When we load, I've started being content with the boat simply setting on the trailer well enough for me to get the winch hooked up, and then I'll...

Only repeating whats been said. The trailer needs to be submerged to float the boat on and off(a little power assit from the motors helps). Guide ons,(at least at the back of the trailer)are a really great idea. Put the tunnel guides as high as they can go without rubbing the hull when its on...

He took his shoes off, and made his wife count when he got over twenty. He's still not sure how she got the extra three. :mrgreen: Gordon

Thanks for the link Gary :thup

Thanks for the thoughts Joe. I am leaning towards the urethane foam(two part) to avoid the melt down scenario I have experienced with the styro blocks. The tank is going to have to come out(supposition right now, but if the tank is empty it seems like a leak near the bottom???), so the foam...

Thankyou WhalerGoFar, I'm having a vision of this stuff in my future. Losing the gas was bad enough($2.49 a gal.), the mess I got to clean up will offset the price. Gordon

All the little words go on the same side of the boat. It was the gas fumes and frustration....thats my story and I'm sticking to it. :mrgreen: If you can reach below the shelf that the battery sits on(either the port or starboard sponson), you'll feel the back of the block with the plastic...

Hi Cygnet, The hull number is 45, it was finished in september of "03".(thanks Byrdman :thup ) I think this is more than just a little leak. :( I filled the port(I know I said starboard in the original post. Someone once offered to stomp on one of my feet so I could remember which was which)...

Hi Byrdman, No, it just became an issue yesterday. I'll be calling them on monday. I was curious as to whether others had tank failures.If so I thought I'd go ahead and drain the other tank. It makes a major mess. The styrofoam goes back to a plastic after the fuel evaporates. I dragged the...

Has anyone else had a leaky tank? The starboard tank on my Tomcat leaked 40 gals into the bilge(melted at least the rear foam flotation block. The bag they put them in didn't melt but didn't do a very good job of holding the gooie mess). The boat/motors have less than 30 hours, and the boat was...

The storm surge is a result of two things(some supposition involved here :lol: ) The primary cause is the wind. 100 mph+ winds in a storm moving 9 to 15 miles an hour can stack up a lot of water. The decrease in pressue at the center of the storm, which causes the spiral circulation(I know the...

Check out page two of Cygnets album. I don't dive but the swim platform between the motors and dive ladder should make entering and exiting the cockpit a snap. We have the telescoping swim ladder instead of the dive ladder. It's just my opinion but 6 divers would be the max. 4 would be...

I'll keep the weight forward idea in mind :thup

Do you have a particular question, or info your looking for?? Ask away :)

Thanks for the info I haven't weighed our boat yet, but was pretty sure it was close to 6500 Lbs.. When I purchased the boat at Three Rivers, and did a mental calculation about the weight and asked them, they thought 6500#'s was way to high. Your comment about the boat being a bit light for its...

The website, manual and articles they posted about the TC24 list the dry weight w/o power at approx. 3300 lbs.. The dry weight of the 255 w/o motors but including brackets is 6000 lbs.. I did a quick search for brackets looking for weights but didn't find what I wanted. If each bracket is 200...

I really like the looks of the new 255, but how the factory managed to add 2200 to 2400 lbs. to this boat is amazing. The 25 cruiser is only listed as 3200 lbs. Come on factory guy's :shock: fess up
