Can't figure out how to edit our "For Sale" posting but we have sold our 255 Tomcat. :-( Bittersweet day for us Tuesday After many years of cruising aboard Destiny, we decided it was time to pass her on to someone who would love her as much as we did and who had the time to do the serious...

Following an excellent two week excursion up the Trent-Severn Waterway in July we have decided to take a week and go back up to the 1,000 Islands in the St Lawrence Seaway. It is only about four hours from home trailering the Tomcat. Would love to hear any recommendations on where would be...

We finally got around to posting the logs for some of our trips. There are a few trips on our last boat Destiny I (47 foot Marine Trader) and the rest are from trips on our current boat Destiny II (C-Dory Tomcat 255). Most start in Lake Champlain Vermont. Trips are Hudson River & NYC. Quebec...

We are planning on traversing the Trent-Severn waterway this summer, launching in Trenton Quebec and hopefully hauling in Port Severn Quebec. Doesn't look like there is a train to get me back to the launch site to pick up the trailer - may be a bus, though (long ride). Had one friend...

We have a TC-255 with a Norcold Refrigerator. Sometimes it is pretty quiet and other times it vibrates and is really noisy. If it is vibrating, I can occasionally open the door and push things around and that will stop the noise. Other times, I can just push on the door to stop the vibration...

Was just wondering what the true "hull speed" of the Tomcat 255 is. I know the formula is 1.34 times the square root of the waterline length but was wondering if the unusual hull shape of the Tomcat makes a difference. With a waterline of 25.5 feet, the theoretical hull speed should be...

I'm about to touch up the anti fowling paint on the hull of our TC 255. I was taping off the existing waterline and started to think that the center aft portion of the hull is actually sitting in the water most of the time. The previous waterline has paint just on the two sponsons. Shouldn't...

Now looking for suggestions on leaving the trailer in Kingston Ontario for two weeks. Thanks to all for the suggestions on cruising the Rideau. Based on the excellent recommendations from several folks, we are now planning on trailering Destiny II to Kingston Ontario and taking the Rideau...

This summer we will be doing the little triangle (Montreal - Kingston - Ottawa). We will be starting in Montreal. We can travel: 1) clockwise ie Montreal to Kingston, Rideau Canal to Ottawa, then back down the Ottawa River to Montreal, or 2) counter clockwise ie Montreal up the Ottawa River...

In the forward berth of our Tomcat we have the factory foam cushions plus a ~two inch "egg crate" foam over pad. For a weekend it is OK but by the second evening, the admiral is having an increasingly uncomfortable sleep. I will be retiring this spring and we are planning some longer trips so...

We are in the begining stages of planning a cruise from Trenton to Port Severn on the Trent-Severn waterway (next summer or the summer after next). We are in Vermont and will be trailering our Tomcat up to Lake Ontario and putting in (hopefully) near Trenton. Just wanted to get any suggestions...

Apologies if this has been covered before (my guess is that it has) but wondering if anyone had a good winterizing checklist for a Tom Cat 255. We are in Vermont and this will be our first winterization for the new boat. Any tips and tricks would be appreciated. Thanks in advannce.

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

Has anyone found a good source (website, cruising guide, etc) which will help us find a suitable launch ramp when we want to visit an area. We're planning on traveling with our new Tomcat 255 over the the next few years and plan on launching and exploring in several areas (Montreal, Ottawa...

Guess we are now members of the very small group of C-Dory owners from Vermont. We just purchased our 2009 C-Dory Tomcat 255 "Destiny" from Wefings Marine in Eastpoint Florida. We found that everything good that folks have said about Wefings owner Marc Grove is true and then some. He was...

Can anyone tell me where I could find what the basic differences are between the 2008, 2009, and 2010 models of the Tomcat 255? Thanks in advance or your help.
