As a repentant fishing enthusiast, it’s fair to say that the swanky 2024 Tidewater Boat Carolina Bay Series 3100 CB piqued my interest more than most boats. Showcased by Tidewater, it represents an exquisite display of workmanship, advanced technology, and fishing utility.
The first thing that strikes you about this yacht certified craft is its sheer size; at 31ft1in long and a beam width of 10ft2in. Coupled with a whopping weight of 7,200lbs, you certainly get a lot of boat for your buck. Moreover, its 220-gal fuel capacity and fresh water capacity of 19-gal suggests long trips out on the water are a breeze for this capable vessel.
Indeed, fishing enthusiasts will relish the standards this boat offers. A Yamaha F450NSA2, White, supports robust expeditions. The boat features a Magnetic Attach Point Bow Cushions, Fiberglass 30-gal Aquarium Livewell Leaning Post with Tackle Center and Countertop, excellent for quick and easy access to your live bait and fishing gear.
The comfort embedded in the design of the 3100 CB is apparent. It's fitted with a Console Lounge Seat and Fiberglass Forward Bow Seating. The White Cushion Upgrade with Black Insert adds a dash of comfort and luxury that is felt but not overtly seen.
Technology hasn’t been left by the wayside in this 2024 model. The console includes Mercury Electronic Steering, NMEA 2K with Vessel View 5, and Mercury Joystick for a seamless, intuitive boating experience.
The JL MM 105 with 8 M6 7.7" Speakers and 2 M6 10" Sub, accompanied by the JL MVi 800 8-ch DSP Amp, and MVi 600 Mono Amp, provide a magnificent auditory experience while on the trip. Plus, with a Digital switching system and Trolling Motor Plug, the vessel promotes efficient energy use.
The luxurious amenities of China Head with Pump Out and Overboard Discharge, Fresh Water Shower, and Anti-Glare Black Acrylic Dash Panel elevate the experience onboard. Moreover, the boat includes Windlass and Rode (Lewmar, Free-Fall) - 300ft. Rode for safer and more efficient anchor deployment.
In essence, the 2024 Tidewater Boat Carolina Bay Series 3100 CB is a testament to exquisite craftsmanship combined with modern technology, creating a fantastic fiberglass fish boat. Its mixture of utility, comfort, and tech make it an appealing choice for any fishing enthusiast or casual boater alike. Seeing the dealer cost at $238,981, while it may not be cheap, it's certainly value for money considering the robust features and comforts it tags along.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
