No Frills. All Fury.
Everything you need—and nothing you don’t. The Bare Bones model is ideal for those who want a dependable boat to customize over time, or don’t want to fuss over scratches, wraps, or added weight. With only the essential electronics, this model prioritizes simplicity, reliability, and ease of use. Whether chasing function, saving on cost, or building your dream setup in stages, Bare Bones is the starting point for all TCM models.
When Less Becomes Legendary.
Solo mission. Fishing run. High-speed escape. Whatever you’re chasing, Bare Bones is your weapon of choice. Stripped down, jacked up—this is our most budget-friendly beast, built with just enough to let the engine roar and the wind slap a grin across your face. No frills. Just raw, ready power. In true TCM spirit, Bare Bones enables you to roam hard, fast, and far—and every ride is a story waiting to be told.
Built to Work. Ready to Run.
If you’re looking for a reliable working boat without all the extras, Bare Bones is your go-to. It still carries the signature TCM style—sleek lines and a serious attitude—but skips the flashy upgrades, plush comforts, and high-end tech. Instead, you get pure utility, wrapped in a compact, efficient hull. This is our quietest, most fuel-efficient model—perfect for long days, extended runs, and low-profile cruising. It’s the boat you can run like a rental and still rely on like your own.
