Thanks for your 2 cents worth Marc, I value your opinion. As it turned out the only 175 Suzukis they had in stock were the ones with the electronic controls, so I will get to try them out.

Hi All, Great conversation, thanks for all the input. Here in Alaska, you have to balance what you want with what you can get. I was planning to leave on a 10 day 500 mile trip when my motor quit. I was antsy to get some new motors, I found some yesterday. I got 2 - 175HP Suzukis with the new...

The rating of 300 hp is total for the Tomcat. I bought the boat last year with about 300 hrs on the 135 Hondas and now they have 480 hrs, so I have been using it quite a bit. I was not happy with the gas mileage or cruising speed and have been working on that since I got the boat. I have...

The Manual says 300 hp for 225 Tomcats. Although I talked to my insurance agent and my bank and neither seemed to care if I went over the maximum rated hp.

Hi Again, I am thinking repowering my 2006 255 Tomcat with 175 hp or 200 hp Suzukis. I am mainly considering the 200hp because they are only 25 pounds, each, more than the 175 hp and they have the latest technology. I am thinking I may get better gas mileage if I keep my speed down. Also I...

Thanks for the thoughts. I may be able to add another access point, that could be helpful. Cheers, Dave

Thank you all for the great information, I do appreciate your knowledge. Yes I meant my pump for the sink and toilet, I need to write down the 8 pumps I have. My 2006 # 6 Tomcat is like Dr Bob's, the tank and pump is on the starboard side. I can see the pump in the hull under the sink and can...

Hi, I have a 2006 Tomcat. Last year my water pump on the boat worked fine. This winter I had a new Esbar heater installed and a new Garmin GPSMAP with radar installed. Now my water pump does not work. I have checked the breaker switches that were installed at the factory, checked every fuse I...

Hi Everyone, I have been traveling so I just got to look at the replies. Thanks so much for all the information. I will decide what to do and let you know. Thanks again, I really appreciate your insights. Dave

Hi, I have a 255 Tom Cat and I am getting an esbar D2 heater installed. I plan to remove my water heater tank and use that space for the heater, but then I wondered if I could use that tank, modified to store the diesel for the esbar. Any comments would be helpful Dave

Hi Everyone, Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, as everyone says, this is a great website!! I feel much better now about the boat. To reply to the speed measurement type question, it was measured with a garmin GPS.

Hi, I am buying a used 2006 Tomcat with 135 hp Hondas with about 300 hours. The boat has sat in the water since new with antifouling paint. The boat has been taken care of very well. The top speed is 25 kts, everything I have read here is that other Tomcats with 135 hp Hondas have a top speed...
