Dubbed the “world’s largest bay boat,” the new Tidewater 3100 Carolina Bay is full of features including a massive forward casting deck, electrically actuated fold-down steps for boarding, unique bilge access and a fishing focused leaning post with integrated livewell. And with two of the new, V-6, 350-hp Yamaha motors, the boat really scoots. We cruised at 35 knots netting 2 mpg and at wide-open you’re looking at 52 knots.
