Custom SeaDek on 35 Contender Side Console

When you think about Contender Boats, most people think about open center consoles, but the 35 Side Console model has been around forever. With a cabin and plenty of seating it is a very nice option for a family boat, but still offers a great layout and cockpit space for fishing. A customer recently called me up that purchased one that was few years old, but never been titled and spent most of it’s life sitting outside in the sun. Needless to say it needed a little loving and SeaDek did the trick. The nonskid pattern was almost gone on the boat, especially in the bow area. We pretty much decked out the entire boat except for the inside of the cabin and the customer decided to go with a 6mm Caribbean Blue over Bahama Blue. The customer also wanted to add coaming bolsters to give himself some comfort while fighting fish so we went with a 20mm white. This was the first time I have ever done this color combination and while it is a little bright, it has a very clean look and grows on you quickly. We have a wide variety of colors to choose from so if blue isn’t your thing we have something else that will work. If you are interested in adding custom SeaDek to your boat, skiff, or yacht you can contact Castaway Customs by sending an email to tyler@castawaycustoms.com.

33′ Intrepid Center Console Custom SeaDek

I have a customer down in the Florida Keys with an Intrepid center console. The boat is used some for fishing and catching lobsters, but the majority of the time it is used as more of a family boat. One of the great added benefits of the SeaDek is the traction that it adds to a boat. Many non skid patterns on boats are not very aggressive and when they become wet, they also become very slippery. With your kids and family using the boat, safety is always a concern. SeaDek was designed to provide traction even when soaking wet and that brings some comfort and peace of mind. Speaking of comfort, on this particular job the customer decided go with an 8mm foam over the standard 6mm for extra comfort and cushion. The cool gray with storm gray trim is one of the most popular colors options and provides a nice subtle look while providing enough contrast to add logos like we did on the front deck hatch. If you are interested in adding custom SeaDek to your boat, no matter how large or small of a job, you can contact Castaway Customs at tyler@castawaycustoms.com.
