There was some concern about the new TC255 trailer. Discovery and Dive Cat both have electric over hydraulic brake systems. Some of the electrical components mounted at the tongue were very close to being submerged when launching on a shallow gradient ramp. These parts can be relocated, but...

Cat Brats. I like that! Brent and Dixie launched and retrieved their TC24 all over North America, and they've launched and retrieved "Discovery", their TC255, for sea trials just recently. They're online sometimes so maybe you'll hear from them, too. Katy and I will submit ongoing reports...

Vogtman, Check out the album for Fishtales, last page I think. Roger has a pole type ladder rigged to the gunwhale on the stb side of the cockpit. He likes it, and he's rigged heavy for cold water diving. Bob Cat

You can drive my boat if I can drive your scooter . . .

Also, does your ladder hook under the lip of the gunwhale, and how many more ladder steps are under the surface? Diving dry or wet? Bob Cat

Hey, Roger Dive Cat is almost finished. Are you coming down for the christening (about March 1)? Or should I come up there for a quick trip to snag a few before the end of the season? Bob Cat

Vogtman, A man after my own heart! Bob Cat here, the Brat formerly known as Scaley Waterman. And owner of the nearly completed Dive Cat. Dive Cat is a TomCat 255 with a 9CFM compressor and watermaker on board, to be used for 6 pack charters in Southern California. 45 years diving...

Norma, Having heard the rumors at Seattle Boat Show, you may be lucky to have a TC255 by this summer. But Jeff or Scott can tell you for sure. Meanwhile,you might want to check the C-Dorys For Sale posting on the right column of the home page. There are at least one, possibly two of the 24's...

I will be trying a "very sturdy looking" dive ladder made for the Armstrong Brackets. You can see it on their website. Some folks dive dry here, too. So, lots of weight and less mobility. We'll see how this one does. I have a Plan B just in case. I opted out of the rails and will install a...

Norma, et al Boy, that's a question better answered by Jeff Messmer or Scott Mathews at the factory. When my hull was coming through, they were still doing modifications and going through their own learning curves. Now, the factory processes are probably much more streamlined. More space has...

Hi, Norma If you've read through this thread, you've already gathered a lot of information! And check out Dive Cat's album for more info. My boat, Dive Cat, is in the final stages of rigging at EQ Marine, after being used as a display boat at the Seattle Boat Show. Like you, I searched a...

Pat and Rick' There is another comprehensive site covering a lot of new Tom Cat information that was started last year in All C-Dory's, All The Time. Look at New TomCat 25. Has over 17,000 hits. Also, if you look at the album for Dive Cat, you will see progress as it has unfolded over the...

Pat & Rick on Amigo, Brent and Dixie (formerly Cygnet) have taken delivery of Hull #5 (Discovery) but they're not available right now. There's a gentleman in Seabrook, TX, Joe C. with an unnamed TC255. He reported results of his top speed and mpg on another thread. My TC255 (Dive Cat) will...

Geeks, Is it possible to merge the new New TomCat 255 general topic with the old New TomCat 25 "All C-Dory's, All . . . " topic to keep the thread and resources intact? Thanks, Bob Cat

Bob Cat made it back home to sunny So Cal, having traded a day of rain here on Saturday for 2 days of rain in Seattle. The route down the coast allowed a view of all the northern Channel Islands, then all the others except San Clemente. Lots of traffic but nice to be home! I had a great time...

Hello to the lucky C-Brats and C-Dogs at the SBS, It's great to see everyone having so much fun, and I appreciate seeing so many friendly faces in the new SBS 06 Album, but would it be possible to post some pictures of THE BOATS you keep talking about?????I'll get my 5 hours of SBS on Friday...

Hey, Joe This is the first data I've seen on fuel consumption for the TC255. Not too bad. I'd imagine about 2.0 with full fuel, load, etc. If you've got the time, perhaps you could post your impressions and experiences with your Tom Cat in a new subject or under the New Tomcat 255 subject...

GOOOOOOO! BUUUUUUUUCS! Bob Cat

James, You're really not very far from the latitudes of the Cayman Islands! There are 3 wonderful things that stand out about this moment in human history: Fresh potable running water at your sink, indoor plumbing (with flush option), and air conditioning. That's why there's anyone down...

WOW! It's pretty neat being associated with a forward looking, dynamic, don't stay-in-the-lines company! Jeff has done a very good job comparmentalizing his information cells, which only now are coming out of the closet. Jeff, do you have prior experience in the intelligence community? So...
