Not sure yours is the same as mine but we just had ours repaired do to water intrusion which rotted out the balsa core and made it very soft to the point that the bolts holding hardtop on were not tight anymore and noticed the back side out outriggers were compressing the top. We removed top and...

Thanks for the replies I have order paint swatches from Jamestown marine from all the major manufacturers and will just pick the one that matches the best. Like a previous poster said since it’s up high and has the aluminum structure and enclosure between it and the rest of boat I don’t think...

Getting my hardtop for my 1997 F26 Tigercat repaired and need to find a paint that will closely match original. I realize whatever I get won’t be exact but just trying to find something close. The guy doing it likes the Totalboat paint and said he has had good results with it. Just wanted to see...

Wish I could hep we have a Tigercat but have 200 hpdi engines on her. What kind of fuel mileage do you get with those 150's?

Yes that's the one, it was a very nice boat especially for a close to 20 year old boat. Don't really recall anything that stood out but we did only hop on it for a few minutes didn't even go for a ride I do think the price seems a little high even with the newer motors We just decided that we...

Yes both motors do it and once warm run perfect. I think one did it a little before the other one, will idle about 400 rpm then when warmed up sit at 600 rpm with no problem. All fuel filters are always up to date with maintenance so I know it’s not a fuel issue.

I think I will pull the O2 sensors this off season and clean them just see if that helps out. I too maintain both motors very well, new spin on filters every year, gear oil changed every year, spark plugs every year and low, high and vst filters every other year. Have always ran Amsoil 2 stroke...

I don’t expect a boat that is close to 20 years old to perfect and the one 2000 we looked at was very nice and could tell the owner took good care of her. The other 2 just looked like the owners did not really care to maintain them properly. No boat is going to be perfect, our 1997 Tigercat has...

Wife and I are starting to look for what I think we have settled on and it’s going to be a Marlin. I really like the 2000-2003 with the molded in bench seat since we really don’t fish much the lack of a big fish box is not a big deal to us. We looked at 3 so far and each one had chipping around...

Do you sleep on the 305 and if so how is the forward berth as far as being enough for two people to sleep comfortably? My wife and I are currently looking to finally upgrade from our F26 Tigercat that we stay on a lot, so far this season we have spend 36 nights on her so obviously anything...

Have had her for the past 12 years and still love her.

1997 F26 Tigercat "Sunny Life" has treated my wife and I great for the past 12 years

I have a pair of 2007 Yamaha HPDI 200with about 800 hrs on each and when first started both idle low, 400-450 rpm and sometimes with cut out. Restart everytime and once warmed up they idle at 600 rpm and run perfect. When they are cold if you try and put them in neutral and bring the idle up the...

Thanks for all the reply’s it ended up being the spin on filter housing had a little bit of buildup where the filter o-ring seats. Pulled the housing off and used super fine sand paper to clean it up and now is back up and running. Always nice when it’s a cheap fix which is uncommon on boats.

Going to boat in a few minutes and check it out. I am guessing right now it will be something with the fuel line or pick up. Since my new primer ball does not stay collapsed when squeezed I don’t think asv problem. Boat does have separate tanks for each side. I will post hopefully good news...

Was just doing some reading and someone else mentioned that. I had pulled up the round cover in floor to look at the fuel tank where the fuel exists and it just looks like a brass 90 degree fitting to the fuel line. Not really sure if it has a anti siphon valve or not. Going to google it and...

Have a 1997 Tigercat with twin 200 Yamaha HPDI's and seem to have a fuel issue. As I do every year I replace the spin on fuel filters, squeeze the primer ball a bunch of times and motors start up and run with no problems. This time around did the same thing, motors started on land fine, splashed...

Wife and I have owned our 1997 Tigercat since 2006 and love her. Repowered in 2007 with Yamaha 200 HPDI and have had zero problems. Over the years we have talked about selling and getting a Marlin or 330 Express but still enjoy our Tigercat “Sunny Life” to much. Every time I walk away from...

"Sunny Life" Grady White F26 Tigercat!!!!!!!!

I think I will call around and see what some local businesses have to offer. I am also worried about buying the top from WMW marine just to get home and find out it does not fit just right then be out the money on the top.
