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.
