The 2023 Tidewater Boat Raptor Series 25 TPC Raptor, from Tidewater Boats, proves to be an impressive addition to the Fiberglass Fish category, boasting a wealth of features and specifications that live up to the brand's reputation.
From the onset, the Raptor Series 25 is an imposing presence on the waters, with a centerline standing at 25'4" and a beam reaching 8'6". This translates into a spacious and comfortable deck, making for an effortless fishing experience. This vessel comes with dual 45-gallon fuel tanks complemented by a manual fuel transfer valve effectively addressing fuel efficiency.
Moreover, the livewell capacities do not disappoint, capable of holding up to three 25-gallon containers, with two located at the transom and one on the riser. This combined with an 80-gallon bow box and a 15-gallon cooler under the console seat ensures you've got plenty of space for catches and refreshments alike.
Packing Yamaha’s VF250LB under the hood, this boat guarantees reliable power performance. The speed and maneuverability are remarkably complemented by the SeaStar Hydraulic Steering upgrade. This, alongside a set of features such as the hydraulic jack plate, ensures a smooth and uninterrupted day on the water.
It's worth noting the black acrylic dash panel equipped with gauges, and the vessel view 5, subtly imbued in the Raptor boat's design. This seamless integration of tech brings navigation and control to your fingertips, providing you with a sailing experience that's both smooth and 21st-century savvy. Even in terms of comfort, the Raptor stands out: the Carolina seat with a shockwave base and the white cushion upgrade with a black insert further enhances the boat’s appeal.
An array of other enticing features such as bow docking lights, under console footrest, and cockpit lighting make the Tidewater Boat Raptor Series 25 TPC Raptor 2023 an excellent choice for every fishing enthusiast looking for an amalgamation of comfort, performance, and style.
The manufacturers suggested retail price (MSRP) of $90,805 and invoice price of $71,500 places this boat as a competitive option within the Fiberglass Fish market, reflecting its robust quality and feature set.
In conclusion, the 2023 Tidewater Boat Raptor Series 25 TPC Raptor is a vessel that doesn’t compromise on functionality or style. It's a masterstroke from Tidewater and a powerhouse entry into the 2023 Fiberglass Fish boat category.

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,
