2025 Tidewater 2300 Carolina Bay

This 2025 Tidewater 2300 Carolina Bay is a 23-foot center console fishing boat built on a single-step fiberglass hull. It pairs a Yamaha F300XCB 4-stroke engine rated at 300 hp with a 10-inch Atlas hydraulic jackplate and a Minn Kota Riptide trolling motor. The boat features a large casting deck, dual aerated livewells (30 and 12 gallons), and a bow box for rod storage. A color-matched fiberglass T-top with hard top provides weather protection.

The console includes a 12-inch Garmin GPSMAP touchscreen with integrated NMEA 2000 interface, Garmin GT12M transducer, and SeaStar hydraulic steering with a tilt helm. Electronics comprise JL Audio Bluetooth stereo with six speakers, LED cockpit and bow spreader lighting, trim tabs with indicators, and a compass. Twin battery systems support the on-board 3-bank charger and console-mounted battery.

The boat accommodates multiple crew with forward jump seats, bow backrests and cushions, a center bow step cushion, and a powder-coated leaning post with fold-down armrests and integrated tackle storage. The interior features cool-touch upholstery, an anti-glare black dash, GatorStep non-slip surfaces, and a POCO operating system for systems management. A custom color-matched swim platform with GatorStep decking and a 3-step ladder completes the aft layout.

The package includes a Wesco custom aluminum tandem-axle trailer with brakes, upgraded corrosion-resistant wheels, and standard safety equipment.
