    Broken Windshield

    I had the small cockpit vent window shatter on my Tigercat a few years ago and contacted Grady White about a replacement. I can't recall who they sent me to but was surprised they had one and got in no time. Call Grady up and see what they say, I am sure they will help you out.

    Grady White F26 walkaround info/help needed ASAP

    Hello. My wife and I have owned are 1997 F26 Tigercat for 8 years now and love her. I feel that some of what you will read especially on The Hull Truth is based on peoples hearsay.

    Maximum Bridge Clearance While Trailering

    Hello. I just went through this with my 1997 Tigercat. My boat sits pretty high on the trailer about 14 feet and while trailering it to get some canvas work done a tree branch took out my radar dome. Insurance covered it and I got a Simrad 3G dome. I did some looking and found this...

    F-26 Tiger cat

    Hello. I have a 1997 F26 Tigercat and love it. Have owned it since 2006 and have put close to 6k miles on her. Cat's do take a learning curve compared to mono hulls. You have to have the motors trimmed right for the condition you are in. Took me awhile to figure out where to trim her but once I...

    Big blister above waterline?

    Hello. I have a 1997 GW Tigercat and today when I walked past the boat on the side of the hull above the water line I saw a 6-7 inch around blister. I am guessing it is a blister, I can push on it with my hand and it goes in a little. I just waxed the hull about 3 weeks ago and did not see this...

    Tigercat

    Yeah I would not be sitting down in 4-5 on the bay. Our waves are stacked way to close together to do that. Get in the ocean and it is a different story.

    tigercat

    Hello. Just what Tucker said I think it is just the trim of the boat. On my Tigercat I have noticed if it is calm out and I trim the motors up till they start for rev up them trim back down a little the boat will not rock from side to side as much as if the bow of the boat is digging into the...

    Tigercat

    Hello. My average fuel burn over 2 years has almost exactly 1.5mpg. My cruising speed is usually between 27-32mph. Trimming these boats is key to getting them to run properly. This year I was messing around one day when it was flat calm out and just keep trimming the motors up more and more...

    Steering problems

    Hi. There is a valve that ties the two steering rams together(liquid tie valve) which is located on the starboard side at the back inside of where the oil tank is located. At least that is where it is on my 1997 Tigercat. When you open the door look straight down(get a flashlight) you will see...

    Where are the Tigercat guys?

    Hello. Yes we did send a few messages back and forth. I do have 2007 200 hpdi motors on mine and a trailer. My guess would be the boat should be worth 30-35k. She is in very good shape. Has an icom vhf radio, lowrance gps/fishfinder, raymarine c70 with a radome and gps, epirb, windlass, good...

    Where are the Tigercat guys?

    Hello. Tucker just curious to see what you payed for your Tigercat. My wife and I am thinking of selling our boat but not till next year. We are looking to get a little bigger boat and are going to spend the rest of this year looking at our options. I feel our boats are kind of hard to sell do...

    Engines almost stalling??

    I have 200 hpdi's on my Tigercat and when the VST filter on the starboard motor got clogged it would kind of do the same thing. Loose power then pick back up. Installed new VST filter and o-ring she was good to go. Did both sides at the same time. Not sure if this is the problem but I know it...

    F-26 Tiger cat

    Hello. My wife and I have owned our 1997 Tigercat for 4 years now and love her. Over the past 3 years I have recorded for each trip how far we went and the amount of fuel we burned for each trip. Over the 3 years the fuel burn total has been 1.5mpg just about each trip. My boat has 2007 200...

    Boat

    Didn't you just get the Tigercat? I recall you asking questions about them not long ago. You sent me a bunch of messages asking about them. Why if you just got the boat do you want to trade for an inferior boat who's company is no longer in business and has a blown motor. This does not make sense.
