27′ Contender SeaDek Cockpit Kit

It seems in these economic times many people are choosing to buy used boats instead of new boats. The only problem with buying used is sometimes these boats need a little TLC. A recent customer bought a 27′ Contender and decided he was going to fix her up. The non-skid had essentially worn off on the entire cockpit of the boat so he gave me a call. SeaDek provides great traction and is an excellent option instead of reapplying new non-skid. Not only do you not have to worry about slipping, but it also makes a long day on the water much more comfortable and enjoyable due to the cushion of the SeaDek. As you can see from the before and after pictures, the boat looks like a new boat once the installation was finished up. If you would like to deck out your Contender, or any boat for that matter feel free to contact me at 321-537-2039 or email me at tyler@castawaycustoms.com.

Custom SeaDek on Ranger Banshee Extreme

I got a call the other day from Travis Tucker who runs a Ranger Banshee Extreme and fishes many redfish tournaments. Travis had seen my custom SeaDek work on another boat and knew that is what he wanted on his boat. We organized a time a place and place to meet up so I could scan the boat to make sure everything fit perfectly. We completely covered the boat from the cockpit and decks to the poling platform and Yeti Cooler. He will now have an easier time sneaking up on those spooky redfish in tournaments and also be nice and comfortable after a long day on the water. Here are a few before and after shots, that really emphasize the difference that custom SeaDek can make to your skiff. If you are interested in decking out your boat, big or small, give me shout at 321-537-2039 or shoot me an email at tyler@castawaycustoms.com.

New Shipment of Yeti Tundra Coolers and Brand New 50 QT

Just received a new shipment of Yeti Coolers and will have more on the way shortly. We have a couple of the new 50 QT Yeti Tundra Series in stock. The 50 QT has a couple of cool new features. First of all the size of the cooler is very nice because it is more of a cube shape. The dimensions measure approximately 24″ x 17″ x 18″. It is roughly 3″ taller than the 35 QT and 45 QT models. The added height makes it great to double as a casting platform on the bow of your skiff. Another new feature is a place for a divider in the cooler which will allow you to separate things. While the divider isn’t water tight, it is still a nice feature and like all Yeti Tundra coolers it comes with a nice tray to keep things out of the ice. All coolers come with a free 5mm single color SeaDek cooler pad. We carry all size Yeti Coolers so if you need anything feel free to gives me a call at 321-537-2039 or contact me at tyler@castawaycustoms.com
