Georgs,
Perhaps you would share with us your reasons for acquiring the TomCat?
What power do you have?
It is one of the boats on my short list.

Hey, guys!
I've been preoccupied with magazine business for the past nine months
but I'm now starting to resurface, aiming to boost traffic on our
List and get that darn ite up and running at last.
I'm located on Lake Ontario. Admiral and I have plans to focus on
inland and coastal cruising over the coming years, thus, we've
purchased a trailerable power catamaran, a previously owned TomCat 24:

Before the snow flies, we hope to explore the western end of Lake
Ontario. Next year, we plan to head east to Thousand Islands, the
Rideau and the Trent-Severn.

Here's why we concluded the TomCat 24 (not the new 255) was right for us:
-- It looks good.
-- It's small yet spacious, and relatively inexpensive.
-- It's trailerable.
-- It won't roll, and provides a stable, smooth ride in cruising conditions.
-- It has a nice turn of speed.
-- It's unsinkable.
-- It has an enclosed head.
-- The berth lies athwartships.
-- It looks good.
What power do you have?
Twin 100 Yamahas which is the most economical approach. If I were
ordering from scratch, I'd probably go a little bigger. Just for the
power of it.
We can cruise at 20 knots or better all day, no problem there, but
the top end is just over 30 knots. With larger engines, you could hit
40, and get up to speed quicker. If that's important to you.

Sitting here 8 days after a knee replacement and thinking of my next vessel.
Unfortunately the PT 32 is gone to a new home and I am not planning on
building and so your choice is very interesting.
A question on livability with the limits of a pair of new knees.
The one thing I am told is NO KNEELING.
So How would it stack up, access to gear, lockers, head even the berth.
Anything you have to crawl too ?

It's pretty well stand up or stoop for just about everything. But,
for the lowest lockers, you might want to kneel.

No.
