2026 Tidewater 256 LXF

The 256 LXF is a 25-foot center console built on a fiberglass hull and powered by a single Yamaha F150 gasoline outboard. The boat is finished in Whisper Gray with a fiberglass T-top that features full glass enclosure, providing weather protection while maintaining clear sightlines. The modern design includes a white console and transom kit that completes a clean aesthetic.

The helm is equipped with a Garmin GPSMAP 1243xsv paired with a GT12M-THF thru-hull CHIRP transducer for navigation and sonar. An NMEA 2000 network integrates onboard systems, with a compass and dual battery switch providing additional control. At the waterline, the SeaKeeper Ride 450mm stabilization system works to smooth the ride in variable sea conditions.

Comfort and entertainment are central to the layout. The boat carries multiple seating stations: a deluxe drop bolster leaning post, bow and cockpit bolsters, port and starboard bow cushions, and a fixed stern bench seat. Audio is handled by a JL Audio MVi 800W 8-channel DSP amplifier and M6 10" subwoofer. A fresh water shower, motion-activated storage lighting, and a finished bilge liner with integrated lighting add convenience.

Fishing capability is comprehensive, with an insulated 30-gallon livewell under the port stern seat, macerator pump for in-floor fish boxes, raw water washdown, and a recessed Lewmar free-fall windlass anchored with 200 feet of rode. A dive door with ladder and swim ladder, along with five pull-up cleats, facilitate water access and docking.
