Employing a modified "V" asymmetrical shaped bottom with broad hard chines on its pontoons. 
The design of the 255 TomCat hull does away with the tendency to lean outward in hard turns 
and the wallow feeling that some cats exhibit at speed. Other advantages to this design include 
a  reduced  bow  wake  and  a  reduction  in  the  amount  of  spray  ejected  out  of  the  tunnel 
(sneezing)  when  driving  into  large  waves.  You  always  have  a  flat,  stable,  dry  ride  with  the 
TomCat 255. 

Quick and nimble with the stability and ride of a much larger vessel. The TomCat 255 lifts up on 
plane  quickly  with  very  little  change  in  attitude.  On  step  the  hull  runs  clean  and  dry  with  its 
limited bow spray being deflected by hard chines that run all the way forward. In a turn, wash 
along the sides is deflected by a step in the hull a few inches above the water line. The TomCat 
255  runs  dry,  even  in  a  very  hard  turn.  Stability  as  one  might  expect  is  superb.  Even  in  hard 
turns at 30+ Knots the boat cuts a clean flat turn with no feeling of slip or complaint from the hull 
or props. 

The  spacious  all  weather  cabin  provides  a  Queen  size  plus  berth  in  the  bow,  (84"X64").   A 
dinette  on the port  side  with  a  convertible  forward  facing  seat  that  makes  into  a  roomy  single 
berth.  A  full  featured  galley  complete  with  hot  and  cold  water  and  two  burner  stove.   An 
enclosed head is located on the starboard side just aft of the galley with a Marine head and hot 
and cold shower.  The cabin provides seating for four with 360 degree visibility out the windows 
at all speeds. 

The aft deck boasts over 45 square feet of cockpit space and is self bailing.  It has a pair of four 
foot insulated fish boxes with macerator pumps. The fuel tanks are located in each pontoon and 
can be accessed or removed through hatches under the interior cabinetry.
