General Specs

Length Overall: ~25′ 2″ (plenty of deck space and stability for bay and offshore runs)

Beam: ~9′ 2″ (wide platform = comfort & stability)

Deadrise: ~15° (aggressive enough for rougher water, but still efficient)

Fuel: ~74–80 gal (good range for long trips)

Capacity: ~10 people / 1500 lb payload (family or crew cruising = no problem)

Hull & Ride

Built as a hybrid bay boat — shallow draft lets you fish skinny water, yet the hull form and build handle coastal chop and offshore conditions well.

Foam-filled construction typical of Tidewater = quiet, solid ride in mixed water conditions.

⚙️ Yamaha F300 Power

300 HP Yamaha Outboard (F300 XCB/NCB) — proven big-water performer with reliable acceleration and solid top-end speed for a 25′ platform.

Yamaha 4.2 L V6 EFI/DOHC engine — smooth torque, good cruising economy, and plenty left for rough water.

With those power numbers you’re not just shallow-water cruising — you’ve got ample grunt to reach offshore grounds comfortably and quickly.

Fishing & Offshore Features

Livewells & Fish Boxes: Twin livewells, large insulated fish storage — serious fishability for bay and offshore trips.

Garmin Navigation & Sonar: Upgraded electronics help you find structure and fish, whether dropping lines near islands or out deeper.

Trolling Motor Ready: Pre-rigged for a trolling motor (optional), great for precise positioning on flats or structure.

Raw & Fresh-Water Showers: Handy after saltwater offshore days or beach stops.

Fiberglass T-Top with options: Shade + optional enclosure for rougher conditions or sun protection.
