This boat is finished in Full Hull White and powered by a Yamaha VF250XB, paired with a 10" T-H Marine Atlas hydraulic jack plate, SeaStar hydraulic steering, power-assist steering, Yamaha CL5 gauge, and NMEA 2000 network.
Electronics & Helm
This 2300 CB is equipped with a Garmin GPSMAP 1243xsv paired with a Garmin GT12M-THF 350W 20° CHIRP thru-hull transducer, giving the helm a capable navigation and fish-finding package. A Lewmar PG 13.5" steering wheel, white console faceplate, companion footrest, and black dash panel complete the helm area.
Fishing & Cockpit Features
The fishing layout includes a 12-gallon insulated bow livewell plus twin 30-gallon insulated stern livewells, along with a deluxe drop-bolster leaning post, leaning-post tackle storage, cooler slide, 65-quart Yeti cooler, raw-water washdown, and additional stainless-steel rod holders in both the bow and midship areas.
A 10' black Power-Pole Blade, trolling-motor plug and wiring, trim tabs with indicators, dual battery switch, and 2-bank charger system add even more capability for anglers who want to fish both shallow and open water.
Comfort & Entertainment
For days when fishing turns into cruising, the 2300 Carolina Bay includes white cushions with black inserts, bow seating and backrests, forward console seating, a center stern flip-up bench seat, fresh-water shower, and dual fiberglass swim platforms with a three-step ladder.
Overhead, the boat features a fiberglass T-top with glass enclosure and black powder coating, while a Fusion RA-670 stereo with four JL Audio M3 speakersprovides the sound system.
Why the 2300 Carolina Bay?
The 2300 CB hits a sweet spot for Southwest Florida boaters who want a boat capable of fishing skinny water around Sarasota Bay, running the Intracoastal, or heading offshore when conditions allow-without stepping into the footprint of a larger 25-foot bay boat.
It gives you many of the features buyers expect from a larger fishing platform while retaining the maneuverability and versatility that make a 23-foot bay boat so appealing.
