2026 Tidewater 198 CC Adventure

The 2026 Tidewater 198 CC Adventure is a 19'8" center console built on a fiberglass hull designed for shallow-water operation. It runs a single Yamaha F115XB 4-stroke engine and comes equipped with a large console featuring a custom anti-glare black dash panel, BayStar hydraulic steering with tilt, and an acrylic windshield. Navigation and electronics include a Garmin GPSMAP 943xsv 9" touchscreen unit and GT56UHD transom-mounted transducer, both integrated via NMEA 2000 interface to the gauge system.

The layout centers on comfort and functionality. The helm station includes a compass and battery wired to the console with dual battery switches. The bow features wrap-around seating with flip-out backrests and hinged backrest, supported by bow and cockpit bolsters with cushioning. The stern includes a powder-coated drop bolster leaning post with fold-down armrests and rear jump seats with cool-touch upholstery throughout the interior.

Practical features include a 20-gallon livewell under the seat, raw water washdown, trolling motor plug, and a fiberglass swim platform with three-step boarding ladder. Audio is handled by a Fusion RA-670 Bluetooth stereo with four speakers. The boat includes a Wesco custom salt water series welded aluminum tandem axle trailer with brakes and upgraded aluminum wheels. Standard safety and convenience items such as battery, fire extinguisher, and throw cushion are included.
