2017 Tidewater 196 DC Explorer

Our EXPLORER dual center console boat is made for long weekends of fishing or having fun with the family cruising and the 196 DC has the same fuel efficient wide beam hull as the 196 CC. It comes loaded with dual livewells, large fish box, rod holders, gunwale rod storage and an open cockpit. Add an optional ski tow bar and it's a true all purpose boat.
