2026 Tidewater 198 CC Adventure

The 2026 Tidewater 198 CC Adventure is a 19.67-foot center console powered by a single 150 hp Yamaha 4-stroke outboard. Built on a fiberglass hull and finished in white, the boat features a fiberglass T-top with rocket launchers, spreader lights, and an electronics box. New for 2026, the T-top includes a glass enclosure for weather protection. The hard top bottom is finished in oyster gray, and the entire T-top structure is powder-coated white.

The cockpit layout centers on a captain's console with black dash panel, footrest, and storage. Seating includes cushioned bow, cockpit, and stern bolster positions, with custom hinged bow backrests and two rear jump seats. A deluxe drop bolster leaning post with rocket launchers and armrests provides elevated seating in powder-coated white. The helm features tilt adjustment and SeaStar hydraulic steering, with an 8.33-foot beam providing stability.

Equipment includes a 9-inch Garmin GPSMAP 943 XSV touchscreen GPS/fishfinder with GT56UHD transom transducer, dual batteries with console-mounted switch, raw water washdown, trim tabs with indicators, and a finished bilge liner with motion light. A 20-gallon aerated and insulated port stern livewell sits under the seat. Navigation and safety gear includes a compass, five stainless steel pop-up cleats, chrome waterline tape, and a fiberglass three-step swim ladder. A trolling motor plug is fitted for additional propulsion options. A Venture single axle aluminum bunk trailer with brakes is available.
