2026 Tidewater 2500 Carolina Bay

The Tidewater 2500 Carolina Bay is a 25-foot center console runabout powered by a single 300-horsepower Yamaha outboard. Built on a fiberglass hull with a 9-foot beam, it combines practical fishing features with comfortable social seating for a full day on the water.

The boat's layout centers on a walk-in console with passenger footrest and generous bow seating with cushions and backrests. Stern accommodations include a flip-up bench seat and jump seats. For anglers, the boat is equipped with a 100-gallon insulated box, dual 53-gallon insulated boxes with rod storage, a 25-gallon insulated livewell, and two additional 10-gallon insulated livewells. A raw water wash-down system helps with cleanup at day's end.

Additional equipment includes dual swim platforms with a 3-step ladder and a JL Audio sound system featuring M6 speakers and an 8-channel DSP amplifier.
