It is interesting to note that the fuel consumption curve we measured for this boat remains quite flat from as low as 10 miles per hour to 30 miles per hour and improves even more at speeds less than 10 mph. You can slow down for rough seas without causing fuel consumption to rise, as would happen with a planing monohull on either side of its optimum cruise speed. The boat is designed specifically for twin engines, with a motorwell behind each sponson. Access to batteries and rigging is a sealed hatch below the motorwell in each sponson. Bowrails are tall and well positioned for additional security.
Hard chine directs water out and down for a dry ride.
The TomCat 24 is built in the Pacific Northwest and designed for inclement weather, so it's not surprising that it has a cabin that's both roomy and comfortable. A large Bomar hatch provides ventilation and access from the cabin to the forward deck. Aft of the berth on the starboard side, a step down head is mounted in the starboard sponson. The standard potty is a Thetford Aquamate, and a built-in holding tank is optional. The head enclosure provides a binnacle to mount the Sea Star hydraulic steering and Honda instruments, with easy wiring access from inside the head.
