The 2025 Tidewater 2500 Carolina Bay is a 25-foot fiberglass bay boat powered by a Mercury V10 Verado 400-horsepower engine with low run time of 46 hours. The boat features a stepped-bottom hull design with a wide 9-foot beam, engineered for efficient handling and stable performance in shallow water and open conditions.
The layout centers on a large bow casting deck with dual livewells and recessed bow seating, supported by bow cushions and backrests. The helm area includes a deluxe drop bolster leaning post with armrests and white cushions with driftwood inserts. The aft section features a fresh water shower with 10-gallon tank for rinsing. Powder-coated fiberglass T-top with full glass enclosure and ventilation protects the cockpit.
Electronics and mechanical systems include a Garmin 1243xsv chartplotter paired with a Garmin B75 TH transducer, Mercury Vessel View integration, dual battery switch, LectroTab trim tabs with indicators, and an Atlas 10-inch HD jackplate. Entertainment is provided by JL Audio MM105 amplifier with six JL Audio speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer. A Power Pole Blade 8-foot shallow water anchor completes the equipment package.
The hull is finished in white powder coat with Seaspray sides and white bottom. A Road King tandem axle trailer is included with the boat.
