I’ve owned a 22’ and have ridden on the 24 Tomcat many times and I currently own a 255. The 24 is nice but not even close to being as fuel economy as the 22. And the ride is much smoother in 3-4 foot chop in the 255 compared to the 24. 255 is a heavier boat but a much better boat for offshore...

I believe they were G 2’s

What engines do any of you recommend for the tomcat 255? My buddy repowered with twin 150 HOs two strokes. Was interested in them until he said that they overheated at low speeds during rough seas.

That makes sense. I’m a bit paranoid as I do some offshore excursions up to 70 miles offshore and would feel better if my engines were newer

I’m looking to repower my Tomcat 255 2006 soon. I currently have the dad 150suzuki 150’s with about 1100 hours. Engines are running great. Just cleaned the injectors and replaced filters. How much longer do they normally run? What engines do you recommend that I repower with?

I plan to fish for albacore tuna off the Washington or Oregon coast

For those of you who have gone tuna fishing in your tomcat 255. I wonder if this size is enough to hold enough bait for a tuna run. Please let me know if this has worked. I am interested in the kodiak 32 but am open to other good options.

Ok thanks for the great advice everyone. Gonna shed some pounds...leave the piano at home and limit any wing nuts on my boat. Haha

hahaha What is the exact size of wing nut you use?

Hey everyone. Just had a successful trip of deep water Lings and halibut at Neah Bay. We fished four guys. I noticed that water was building up at the floors of the deck. The water was coming from the self bailing holes on each side. Does anyone plug the holes while they fish and if so what...

I can put my two cents in for the trolling for salmon part. I can troll with one engine and depends on what species of salmon you are fishing for. No problem trolling for coho since they like a faster troll of 3-3.5 mph. Trolling for kings can be effective too however on some occasions when...

Do you guys have a good livewell system on your tomcats?

Also I believe that our 2006 tomcat has the 130 gallon tank Is That correct?

Thanks for the diagram roger. What do you need the valves for each tank?

Yes I got the tanacoms They are life saviors How many rods can you drift with?

Thanks for the responses. We plan to fish Neah Bay near SWC or 72 square and we are taking 5 guys. Any tips on how to set up the rods and how many rods to use while drifting over 500+ feet of water using 2-3 pounds of weight.

I have a Tomcat 2006 and we want to be able to convert our fuel lines so that we can utilize either gas tanks. Currently each engine has its own gas tanks but I would like to be able to siphon the fuel lines so that one engine could utilize both gas tanks. The purpose for doing this is to be...

Very encouraging to hear. That is awesome! How do you arrange seating for the long trips offshore? How many guys do you fish at the back?

I had a simple question about how many guys I could safely fit going offshore at neahbay to the halibut grounds. With halibut gear how many guys do you think I can take? I was planning on 5 guys. We would be taking turns fishing 3 guys at the back.

I've had a stellar season of catching kings this year and although I have had sucess there are still limitations in getting the right speed at times. Has anyone seen or attempted to put a kicker motor on a Tomcat and if so what power engine worked size of the kicker. Did the kicker add too...
