The 2026 Tidewater 198 CC is a 19.67-foot center console built in fiberglass and powered by a single 115-horsepower Yamaha four-stroke outboard. The boat features a yacht-style helm station with a backlit aluminum carbon fiber dash panel, wrap-around bow seating with flip-out backrests, and a captain's console fitted with footrest and black dash panel.
Accommodations include port and starboard rear jump seats and a 20-gallon insulated, aerated livewell positioned under the port stern seat. The bow is outfitted with cushioning throughout, including bolster cushions, standard cushions, and custom hinged backrests. A deluxe drop bolster leaning post with rocket launchers and armrests provides additional seating.
The boat is equipped with a Tidewater Bimini top in black with stainless steel hardware and boot, Bay Star Plus hydraulic tilt steering, trim tabs with indicators, and a raw water washdown. The electronics package includes a Garmin GPSMAP 943 XSV nine-inch combo unit with GPS, depthfinder, and fishfinder capabilities, along with a factory-installed transom mount transducer. Additional systems comprise dual batteries with console-mounted switch, a finished bilge liner with motion light, integrated three-step swim ladder, five pop-up stainless steel cleats, compass, and NEMA 2000 networking. The boat comes with an aluminum single-axle bunk trailer equipped with brakes.
