Fred, As stated in other post, the exhaust certainly should be above the rub rail. We have a 2006 Tomcat and had the same problems as you . Worked fine when not underpower. Fought this for a full season. Added the 4'' clamshell and haven't had a problem since. The Tomcat is a fantastic boat, we...

Tony, You're just a days drive on a good, mostly divided hiway to Guaymas, Sonora Mexico. The water north toward Hermosillo is beautiful. Beaches, cliffs, Palm trees and cacti growing out of the cliffs over the water. November thru March the wind can come up at mid day and last till four...

At least it was close. It could have been a CD16 Angler between Honolula and Lahaina.

Thanks Bob, those numbers will work just fine. I think that is a two beer favor. Gary

I took the measurements of the berth in AmigoII last week and of course left them on the boat, 800 mi away. I want to have a pair of fitted sheets made. If it is convenient could a Cat owner forward those dimensions to me. Simply the pad size Thanks, Gary

Thanks Bob, I thought you would be the person to compare the Tomcat with the other, under 30' cruising boats. We have loged over 6000 mi. with our Tomcat. Two trips from Anacortes Wa to SE Alaska. The Tomcat is a very comfortable boat for two and manageable for three. It's speed is very...

Yes, use heat, ahead of where your working. DO NOT pull the tape at a 90 degree angle, pull the tape at a 180 degree angle . Pull slowly giving the adhesive time to release. If the paper part of the tape is in fair shape use "goo be gone" or simular solvents with a small "acid brush,"(obtained...

Ship via Alaska Air lines, out of Cordova, Sitka, Juneau or any city they fly the Big Jets into. Most of these locations have "packers" that will process your fish, freeze, box and deliver to Alaska. Alaska Air has freezer and cold storage at some of their freight warehouses. Be sure the...

Is anyone on the West Coast of Florida interested in exchanging Tomcats. My boat partner and I would like to spend two, two week trips exploring your area, next winter, Dec. thru Feb Location, times and dates are open. Our boat is available after August 15. this year. The San Juan Islands...

Gene, Pull up the tide table for Ketchikan Alaska . You will see tidal differences of 12 to 20 feet. You will experience stronger currents as channels narrow. These are to be respected! We have run our Tom Cat to Alaska from Anacortes Wa. last year and 2006 covering most all of South East Ak...

Roger, You are a deep thinker. I have the same thoughts and it can be done with a snatch block on the anchor pulpit and a remote, to control the windlass from the back deck. A short mast on the cabin roof for leverage. A folding rack that would hinge to retrieve a dinghy off the stern. 75' of...

We have used an anchor puller for the shrimp pot. Problems 1: pulling 300' of line puts the float a long ways behind the boat. In traffic area, there is always some one that will want to go behind you. 2: The speed needed to push the float out/down to get the pot to come up, bends the hell out...

Warren, Good idea, I exchange my home in Ketchum (Sun Valley) Idaho with people that have home in areas that I want to spend time. It has worked well. I would think insurance coverage may be an issue. It would be nice if one insurance co. could inter insure all parties involved in an exchange...

Pat, You may have picked up some that has been sitting around several years. I used to sell the stuff in my windsurf shop and used a lot for gel coat repairs. I mix it on a glass surface with a stiff putty knife. It does thin out after mixing. Putting scotch tape over the repair for 24 hours...

Honda Over Heat Sensor Last week I visited a friend in Seldovia, Alaska. He has an Armstrong 28 ' Cat powered by two 2002 Honda 115. The boat had been out of the water all winter. Both engines started in a normal manor. The overheat red light and alarm sounded as soon as the starboard engine...

There is considerable difference in our gauge reading when cruising and when drifting or at the dock. We will read 1/4 at cruise and flat empty at the dock. The cruise reading is the more accurate. While making two trips to Alaska this past two summers, we have had lots of opportunities to check...
