Forgot to post this one. The manufacturer of the flooring is: http://lonsealspecialty.com/lonwdteakholly.html

I added two pictures of the bilge alarm to our photo album. Couldn't figure out how to include them in this post so added them to our photo album. You should be able to click on the link to the left to get to the album. It is in the section on the Florida shakedown cruise.

We ordered the flooring and the good folks at Wefings Marine in Florida installed it. It really looks spectacular. We couldn't be more pleased. Will try to remember to take a picture of the high water bilge alarm this weekend.

Mine has the alarm - it's just aft of the throttles ....

They update the cruising guide periodically. The current version is available in any of the marinas on the lake. You can get it on line from the ship's store at the Westport Marina in Westport NY at: http://www.shipstore.com/SS/HTML/LCPC/L ... 41282.html Still maintain it is the best guide...

One plus for the transom mount is that you can get a transducer with a speed sensing paddle wheel and a temperature sensor. Speed is fun to compare with COG to determine current.

We had a tall radar arch installed on our 2009 Tomcat. You should be able to check the photos I posted here. Marc Grove at Wefings Marine purchased and installed it for us. I did it purposely so we could fit a dingy underneath it. Best - Peter & Linda

Boris, We've been cruising the area up to Montreal + the Thousand Islands and down to New York for years. Looking forward to branching out with the Tom Cat. Will spend much of the summer here on Lake Champlain getting used to the boat. Two scheduled off lake trips - Montreal and the lower...

Launched Saturday - spent the first night aboard at the marina then out on the lake for a quick cruise Sunday. Quiet lunch anchored in a deserted bay. Life is good ....

Our new 2009 C-Dory Tomcat 255 "Destiny" was delivered to Lake Champlain, Vermont - arrived this morning. What a treat. Delivery arranged for by Wefings. Flawless trip. Water temp ~45 degrees here. Let the summer begin .... Best Peter & Linda

Apologies - this is a VERY LONG post. This is a bit dated but it is an article I wrote a while ago for the America's Great Loop Cruisers Association about including Lake Champlain on your Great Loop Cruise... ------------------ Peter & Linda Brownell MV Destiny, Marine Trader 47 CP Lake...

Here is a link to our log from the last time we went down to New York and back from Lake Champlain. It was a while ago but it was a great trip. http://www.peterbrownell.com/boating/nyc/nyc.htm

Have transited the Champlain Barge Canal many times. It is a great trip. Make sure you allow yourself time to have lunch or dinner at the Finch and Chubb Restaurant at the Lock 12 Marina in Whitehall, NY. In our humble opinion, one of the best restaurants on the Lake.

Did you need to start in Waterford and go up the Champlain Barge Canal or were you planning on launching further north in Lake Champlain

If you have a moment, you can check out the location of our chartplotter and autopilot controls. The folks at Wefings located the chart plotter on the dash in front of the helm. At first I thought it might block the view out the front window but from where I sit, it only blocks my view of the...

Should have jumped in here earlier. We purchased a 2009 Tomcat 255 with twin Suzuki 175's from Marc Grove at Wefings. We LOVE the boat and working with Marc and his crew has been a dream. We are up in Vermont but had no problems working with Wefings in Florida. They will be delivering the...
