Here's my Tomcat255. Thanks for all the advice! I'll be out for salmon this weekend.

She arrived today....one day early. Good thing my schedule is flexible. I cant recommend Horizon Transport enough. My driver was Frank Workman and he was perfect....a little early but he gave me notice!!!! Great guy....he expertly launched me without concern and provided great advice on...

It's expected to be delivered Oct 3rd. I'll take pictures.

I hope your are right Jake. I'm just losing sleep thinking that I finally get my boat and it's stuck in the parking lot. If the driver wont do it, there is a good chance someone else will be around that wouldn't mind a relatively simple back up. I'm probably over thinking it....I just want...

This is a one time launch. The boat will stay in a slip until annual service and I'll use a service (local towing company) to pull out. I may end up using the service as a plan B. It's just an expensive option for backing down the ramp. I really am hoping the transporter will do this. I...

Thanks for the advice. I'll work the phones to find an alternative. I did call Uhaul and Home Depot…they didn't provide any options for me.

Hi there, I'm finally receiving my Tomcat 255 next week. The transport company may not launch the boat. It sounded like it's up to the individual driver...anyway, I wanted to make some back up plans. I have a Lexus GX 470 with a towing capacity of 6,500 lbs. I know the boat exceeds this. If...

The CF numbers look fishy to me. Thoughts?

I'm getting close to ordering some Garmin electronics and thought I'd toss out a couple questions before proceeding: 1) I love the 1040xs. Is the tm150m a good transducer choice for a tomcat 255? The dealer was concerned that a B75m would rest on the bunk of the trailer 2)has anyone used the...

Before I order these, I just wanted to make sure. The owners manual I found on-line states: "Hand rails: Heavy duty hand rails, 1" S.S. (through bolted)." The boat I'm buying is the 2006, same as yours. Are the rails in the cockpit 1 1/4" or did this mount fit a 1" rail?

Hi There, I need to add two Scotty Rail Mounts to my (soon to be delivered) Tomcat. I've used the traditional scotty side mounts in the past with good success but ran across the following: http://www.amazon.com/Scotty-287-Rail-M ... rail+mount These rail mounts seem to come in 7/8" and 1...

Thanks. I'll take a closer look at the chairs this weekend. I was concern about the rod holder. I'll go with something like CE Smith.

Hi, I see West Marine is running a sale until Sept 1 on their King Fish II folding chair (save $60) and Stainless Steel Clamp on Rod Holders (save 20). I need two chairs and four rod holders. How is the quality of these products? I really like the Taco band rod holders but they are twice the...

They are 140s. Thanks. I think the original add said 135....I just got 10 more HP!

Hi there. I was notified today that my offer for a Tomcat 255 was accepted. I'm very excited and wanted to share my news. I feel like I've read every post on this board going back 18 months. What a great resource! Without stumbling on this site, I probably would have gone another direction...

Hi there, I'm getting very close to sending specs for a new CD22 angler to the factory. I have a couple miscellaneous questions that will help me cross the finish line: 1) I plan to raise the stove to make better use of the space behind the captain’s chair (similar to Glenda Jean's mod)...

While your team beat my 49ers, I have to say that looks awesome! Well done.

Thanks - very helpful. I love the shot with radar on. The Garmin is 14x9x3. Maybe I can push it back toward the window an inch or more.

Im looking at various rigging options. Is there enough room above the helm station for a Garmin 1040xs? I want a big screen so I can see it easily from the cockpit but without obstructing my view when steering. I could get away with 8' screen but I'd like radar and think the biggest screen...

I made good progress on the boss today. She gave me the go ahead to proceed!!!! I'm excited about that obviously, but still a bit concerned about the port side cabin seat option. I plan to call C-Dory tomorrow and request a drawing since I cant find any pictures.
