My new 2012 MB F21 Tomcat... lots of pics!!

As many of you know, I recently took delivery of the first 2012 F21 Tomcat out of MB’s factory. I special ordered the boat, which was a fun process. I really enjoyed working directly with the factory and my dealer (Portland Ski Boat Center) on all the choices!

It’s about time I share some pictures, huh?

Before I do, there have been lots of changes for 2012. MB has really moved the ball forward with this new boat.


All new top deck:

• Bigger, deeper bow
• New nose: more lines, detail, and billet “Tomcat” logo
• Wider transom seat for two
• Batteries moved from under observer’s seat to below floor in bow walk through


New gel coat:

• Modified “X” design
• Variety of flake colors (silver, gray, red, blue, etc.)
• “MB” logo under the bow
• Black extends above rub rail in the rear

New sound system:

• WetSounds in the boat: XS-650, 2 in bow + 4 in cabin
• WetSounds sub: XS-10FA, behind driver seat
• WetSounds optional on the tower: 2 Pro-60’s + 2 MB-8’s (optional)
• Wetsounds Syn6 (boat + tower) + SynMicro (sub)


New interior:

• Fiberglass floor with drain
• Removable carpet: no snaps… just magnets!
• Thicker cushions, vinyl, and lots of new colors, patterns, textures, etc.
• Matching gel coat and “X” pattern inside gunnels
• Collapsible pylon (old one was removable)
• Storage trays over engine and transmission
• New driver’s seat
• Two cup holders at helm + 12v outlet + usb port
• Moved ballast switches from wall up to the dash
• Seat heater (optional)
• More LED’s (optional)


New tower goodies:

• Triple combo swivel racks (middle slot for surf boards)
• The exposed wire is gone
• Tower screws permanently attached (now I won’t lose them!)

 
Other tid bits:

• Transom LED’s (optional)
• New swim platform brackets
• Sea deck replaces rubber
• Wake plate (optional)
• Dripless shaft seal standard
• Optional 18’s on trailer (I skipped these)

I’m sure I missed something; hard to keep track of it all.

Here are some pics, but they don’t do the gel or the vinyl any justice. You have to see it in person to appreciate the craftsmanship. There are NO DECALS on this boat (inside or out).
