2026 Tidewater 2300 Carolina Bay

The 2026 Tidewater 2300 Carolina Bay is a 23-foot center console bay boat built on a fiberglass hull finished entirely in black. Powered by twin Yamaha F300XCB outboards with black powder-coated covers, the boat combines shallow-water capability with open console design. A Carolina flare bow incorporates a large casting platform forward, dual-purpose seating, and recessed bow storage.

The helm features a Simrad NSS EVO3 12-inch display paired with a Simrad B150M transducer, NMEA 2000 network, and SeaStar hydraulic steering with tilt. The black dash houses a CL5 information station. A fiberglass T-top with black powder coat and full glass enclosure provide weather protection. Audio is handled by a JL Audio MM55 amplifier and four JL M3 speakers, with two additional speakers included.

Accommodations include black and white interior trim, a gray standard console kit, and gray helm pad. Twin insulated livewells, raw water washdown, trim tabs with indicators, and a trolling motor plug support fishing use. Two fiberglass three-step swim platforms, six pull-up cleats, and a hydraulic jack plate with 10 inches of lift complete the package. A dual battery switch and batteries wired to the console manage electrical systems.
