2025 Tidewater 25 TPC Raptor

The 2025 Tidewater 25 TPC Raptor is a 25-foot catamaran-hull flats boat designed for shallow-water fishing. Its 8.5-foot beam and efficient hull shape deliver stability at rest and in choppy conditions while maintaining a shallow draft for access to skinny water. The boat is powered by a single 250 hp Yamaha VF250LB outboard with mechanical motor rigging and pairs mechanical propulsion with sophisticated electronics integration via NMEA 2000.

The fishing layout centers on practical deck space and specialized equipment. Three insulated, aerated livewells keep bait and catches fresh throughout the day. The helm features a Carolina-style seat mounted on a Shockwave base for comfort during extended runs, paired with Seastar hydraulic tilt steering and a 10-inch Atlas hydraulic jack plate for precise shallow-water positioning. A trolling motor doghouse and plug are integrated into the design, along with raw water washdown and a fresh water shower. Rod storage, tackle space, and uncluttered casting decks support sight-fishing and conventional angling.

Electronics capability is comprehensive. A Simrad NSS EVO3s 12-inch display works with an Airmar B150M thru-hull CHIRP transducer. Navigation and engine data display through a Yamaha CL5 gauge. A JL MM 50 marine radio with four JL speakers provides communication. Dual 45-gallon fuel tanks with manual transfer valve support extended range, while a dual battery switch manages power distribution.

Additional features include a 10-inch Rigid light bar, RGBW cockpit lighting, trim tabs with indicators, a folding rear bench seat, a rear bar with removable black canvas, a Garelick two-step transom ladder, and bow docking lights. The boat comes with a custom Road King welded bunk trailer and spare tire.
