2026 Tidewater 3100 Carolina Bay

The 2026 Tidewater 3100 Carolina Bay is a 31-foot bay boat with a 10-foot beam, powered by twin Mercury V10 400-horsepower engines. The stepped fiberglass hull is engineered for both speed and fuel efficiency, with a top end over 70 mph. The boat features Tidewater's Whisper hull technology for reduced noise.

Onboard electronics include twin Garmin 1243xsv displays, Garmin Open Array Radar, an Airmar B175 through-hull transducer, and Mercury Vessel View integration. The audio system comprises JL Audio components: an MM105 amplifier, eight speakers, dual 10-inch subwoofers, and a mono block amplifier. Navigation and fish-finding capability are comprehensive.

The boat is outfitted with a white powder-coated fiberglass T-top with full glass enclosure and vent, a 30-gallon fiberglass livewell with tackle center in the leaning post, white cushions with black stitching, and underwater Lumitec Sea Blaze X2 lights. A Zipwake Interceptor 450-S chine trim system, Bobs Machine 10-inch dual jack plate, and patent-pending electric retractable entry steps (port and starboard) are included. A china head with pump-out and overboard discharge completes the head facilities. An AmeraTrail tandem axle trailer is included with the boat.

Tidewater's LifePLUS warranty provides three years of bow-to-stern coverage, one year of coverage for gelcoat, blister, powder coat, aluminum, and upholstery, and a lifetime limited structural hull warranty.
