2007 Tomcat 255 Asking price: $79,900 A meticulously maintained fast-cruising boat that has everything you need for multi-day trips. It comfortably sleeps three adults- two on the queen-size berth forward and one on the convertible berth in the cabin. Top Cat has given us lot of pleasure going...

We will be launching the Tomcat near Tarpon springs next week and proceeding down the coast towards Fort Myers. Any suggestions about marinas, anchoring spots, cautions, places to see (off-shore and on-shore) and places to eat will be greatly appreciated!

A friend sent me this link today...I've been in seas in which my Tomcat has done this all on its own! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whD8zjqq4Nc

I need to change the oil filters on my Suzuki DF 150s. To get to the filter, I will have to remove the bottom part of the engine cowling. I can see 5 screws that seem to hold the two halves of the cowling together. I presume that I can just take out the screws and pull the cowling off. Is it...

I noticed yesterday that the light under the ceramic cooktop on my Wallas was staying on dimly even after the stove had cooled. In other words, the light is bright when the stove is operating, but never quite goes off. It dims, but stays on even 24 hours later. I talked with Mike at Scanmarine...

This might be of interest to those of us who were on the site before Ranger split from C-Dory. Just picked up the October copy of PassageMaker. The new Ranger R-29 is the "cover boat" with a really positive write-up inside. Seems like Jeff and the Ranger factory guys did a good job. The speed...

My port side wiper fuse (5 amp) blows a few seconds after the switch is turned on. The wiper starts moving, goes through no more than one cycle, and fuse blows. The wiper is not binding- I have checked that already. The wiper brand is AFI. This is the wiper "movement" fuse, not the wiper...

This is a “thank you” note for Marc Grove and his crew at Wefing’s Marine in Apalachicola, Fl. I live near Houston. When we bought our boat from Wefing’s, I was concerned about being a thousand miles away from the dealer. All I can say is that Marc, even at a distance, has been a tremendous...

I have a transom mounted transducer for the depth sounder. The boat is kept in the water and hauled out every six months for engine maintenance. Barnacle growth on the transducer has been a major problem. Not only does this look ugly, it also interferes with transducer function. This January I...

I have twin Suzuki 150s on my Tomcat. The tilt and trim indicator for the port motor quit working today- it is in the "off" position (needle fully up). Is there any simple troubleshooting that I can check for, such as a blown fuse? Thanks!

The self-parking mechanism on my starboard windshield wiper has stopped functioning. When I switch the wiper off, it stops at random (usually in the middle of the field of view) instead of finishing the swipe and stopping on the right side. I would appreciate suggestions on how to troubleshoot...

About 6 inches of the felt liner on the starboard sliding window on my Tomcat has come out of its groove and is flapping in the breeze. If I try to push it back into into the groove, it just comes out again the next time the window is slid back. Any suggestions?

I have twin Suzuki 150s on my Tomcat. The Suzuki engine hour meters keep dying- the third set has bit the dust. The boat is only an year old. They do not die simultaneously- first one goes, and then the other. I cannot believe that Suzuki would sell something that was this unreliable. I wonder...

My Tomcat is kept full-time in a slip. I have a 10-foot inflatable dinghy with a 5 HP motor. I would like to keep the dinghy in the slip next to the Tomcat. I need to build a floating dock to keep the dinghy on. I would appreciate any opinions concerning my plans: 1. Build a frame from marine...

Both the 120 v outlets on my Tomcat 255 are dead. The "outlets" breaker light is green as always. The fridge and the battery charger have A/C power. The boat is kept in the water and is hooked up to shore power. Where do I start troubleshooting?

With the current cold and rainy weather, the interior of our Tomcat (kept in a slip) is dripping water from everywhere. On a recent trip, I had water dripping from the chart shelf above the helm down the back of my neck. I have looked at de-humidifiers on the internet, but anything that is...

A new Tomcat 255 has been added to the Gulf of Mexico fleet. My friend Charlie and I took delivery of “Half-Time” - Hull # 48- from Wefing’s Marine in Apalachicola, Florida last week and it is now in its slip in Seabrook, Texas (near Houston). The factory installed the refrigerator, hot water...

I have been lurking on this site for more than a year. I live near Galveston, TX and had started thinking seriously about a C-Dory last summer. A couple of ladies named Katrina and Rita set my plans back a bit, but the boat is now close to becoming a reality. The vessel in question is a TC-255...
