Earlier this year we sold the TomCat we had owned for the past 8 years and replaced it with an Aspen 32 catamaran (actually a "proa"). On announcing that on the website several readers asked that given we were such long time TC owners, we provide some description of the differences, and what we...

Has anyone covered the rough fiberglass ceiling onn a Tom Cat 25.5 with some form of headliner? If so what did you do and how did you attach it? FYI I was up at the factory in Bellingham a couple of months ago and noted on their new TC model that a fabric material with teak 1 1/2 inch boards...

Has anyone covered the cabin floor of their Tom Cat or other C Dory with either fake or real teak and holly flooring? The orginial fiberglass floor seems aesthetically lacking to most owners, as a result many are covered with some form of carpeting. Traditional wood teak and holly is quite...

Over the past year, the silver paint on the lower cowlings on my 2006 Honda 150 outboards has begun peeling off. It seems this is a known problem with Honda outboards, and the only solution is to repaint the involved portion of the engine. Has anyone in the group had this problem with their...

Has anyone had a problem with a a slight but persistent odor of raw gasoline in the cabin of a Tom Cat? Ours has had this problem for some time, and we have yet to figure it out. We initially thought it was residual from the dinghy outboard stored in the head, but stopping that practice did...

Has anyone installed a fuel control panel in a Tom Cat? We find ours typically lists to starboard most of the time as the galley, water tank and a number of other items on that side make it heavier. One solution would be to burn down the starboard tank first, but to do that one would need a...

Has anyone had this problem with their Honda engines on a Tom Cat powering down due to an overheat warning? When running the Honda 150s at about 3000 RPM with the engines at +1 tilt (lower unit closer to the transom), at random intervals the engine overheat alarm sounds and the engine...

I have a 2007 Tom Cat with an original gel coat bottom which is in very good condition...almost like new. Am considering leaving the boat in salt water for several months at a time, and am therefore needing to put anti-fouling paint on the bottom. There seems to be a dispute among service...

Has anyone cut out the fish tanks in the aft deck of a Tom Cat (leaving the hatches and hinges in place), and then being able to use the full hull space below for storage? The tanks might be just fine for fish, but they are a bit small for other storage, and tend to collect water. The hull...

Has anyone replaced the canvas cover that fits behind the instrument panel on a Tom Cat, and hides all the wiring, etc., with something more solid and child proof? If so, it would be helpful to hear what you did and how you did it. Some photos of the work would also be welcome. Thanks...

The Tom Cat we bought came from the factory sans reefer, so I plan to install one. Has anyone had experience installing a refrigerator on a Tom Cat? If so, what unit worked, did you use an ac/dc unit, and where did you put it? Am not convinced the usual up right chest units installed on the...
