2026 Tidewater 198 CC Adventure

The 2026 Tidewater 198 CC Adventure is a 19.67-foot center console powered by a Yamaha F150XD 4-stroke outboard engine. Built on a fiberglass hull in Whisper Gray, this new model features a fiberglass hard top T-top with a glass enclosure—new for 2026—equipped with rocket launchers, an electronics box, and spreader lights. The T-top and leaning post are powder-coated white.

The helm setup includes a captain's console with black dash panel, footrest, and storage, along with SeaStar hydraulic steering with tilt function. Navigation and fish-finding electronics comprise a Garmin GPSMAP 943 XSV 9-inch touchscreen combo with GPS, depthfinder, and fishfinder paired to a Garmin GT56UHD transom transducer. Dual batteries with a switch are wired to the console, and a NEMA 2K is installed without gauges.

Seating and comfort features include white cushions with black insert interior, cockpit and bow bolster cushions, custom hinged bow backrests, and a deluxe drop bolster leaning post with rocket launchers and armrests. Two rear jump seats provide additional seating. The boat carries a 20-gallon aerated and insulated livewell under the port stern seat, and a raw water washdown system is included. Trim tabs with indicators, a fiberglass swim ladder with three steps, five pop-up stainless steel cleats, a compass, a finished bilge liner with motion light, a trolling motor plug, and Phender Pro fender cleats complete the setup. A single axle aluminum Venture bunk trailer with brakes is available separately.
