2026 Tidewater 2500 Carolina Bay

The 2026 Tidewater 2500 Carolina Bay is a 25-foot bay boat built for shallow-water fishing and coastal cruising. It runs a single Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke gasoline engine and features a white fiberglass T-top for sun and weather protection. The hull is finished in Shallow, a pale gray-green color that complements the shallow-water mission.

Navigation and fish-finding equipment includes a Garmin GPSMAP 1243XSV display and a GT12M transducer with 20 CHIRP frequencies for detailed bottom imaging. The helm comes with a gray pad bearing the Tidewater logo. A fresh water shower is fitted for rinsing after time on the water, and Sea Blaze Mini RGB underwater lights add visual appeal at night. The boat is set up for serious fishing with extra mid-ship rod holders, a trolling motor plug ready for a quiet electric auxiliary, and Phender Pro fender cleats for secure docking.
