The 22 Pathfinder bay boat has been a staple for a long time in the bay boat market. Looking at the older model boats, you can see they have made some nice upgrades to the deck areas on the newer boats. This customer wanted to dress up his older boat by decking it out in SeaDek. He decided to add a few logos on the front deck as well as on the back bulkhead to give it that custom touch. Most of the boats produced by Maverick Boat Company all have an “oyster white” gel coat so our mica colored SeaDek is a nice color to match. A popular option of many customers is a pad under the leaning post to help prevent the cooler from moving around. If you are interested in having some custom SeaDek made for your bay boat or skiff feel free to contact me at tyler@castawaycustom.com.

I had the pleasure meeting the guys from Boatmaster Trailers through a mutual friend Capt. Chris Wittman down in Fort Myers. Chris runs the Team Hooters Lake and Bay boat which he guides out of and fishes in numerous tournament series. I was very impressed with the double rig trailer built by Boatmaster to pull around not only the Boca Grande, but also the 17′ Predator at the same time. It is like the circus coming to town when these guys pull up towing two boats behind one truck. Boatmaster also builds many of the trailers for military so they know how to build a trailer that will take some abuse. The owner of Boatmaster fished with Chris one day and was impressed with the custom SeaDek on his Lake and Bay and happened to own a Lake and Bay himself so he gave me a call. His boat is older and had seen better days so he figured a full SeaDek kit would not only provide the comfort and traction he was looking for, but also give his boat a nice face lift. As you can see the beach sand over black color is a very nice color combination and contrasts nicely with the bright yellow hull. Those Fort Myers boys know how to catch some big snook so we threw in a snook logo as well as a large measuring stick so they can have proof of their fish tales. Castaway Customs is working on a few project boats that will soon be sitting on Boatmaster Trailers and following me around the state. Keep checking back for updates on the project boats and in the meantime if you would like some custom SeaDek you can contact me by email at tyler@castawaycustoms.com and if you are need for a new trailer make sure to contact Boatmaster for some of the baddest trailers made.

I got a call from a customer up in South Carolina who was looking to convert a center console Mitzi Skiff into a side console. While I get many customers who ask me to do all sorts of stuff there are things I will and also wont attempt. I figured this one was better left for the guys over at Orange County Boatworks. After they did the conversion there was no better way to cover up the evidence of the old center console than to lay down a SeaDek floor kit, after the holes were properly repaired of course. We he decided to do a little more than just the floor and opted to do the entire boat. Many customer like to add custom logos to the decking and this customer decided to keep it simple and clean by just adding Mitzi to the undergunnel pads. Since removing the center console opened up a ton of space in the flats boat he also purchased a 65 Qt Yeti Tundra cooler from me to use as a coffin box and extra seating. He came down to pick up his skiff and was very pleased with both the work performed by Orange County Boatworks as well as the work by Castaway Customs. If you need any custom SeaDek, Yeti Coolers, or anything to trick out your skiff get in contact with me and if I can’t do it myself I can at least point you in the right direction. You can reach me by phone at 321-537-2039 or by email at tyler@castawaycustoms.com.

Growing up fishing and living in East Central Florida you don’t see to many Silver King boats running around. If you head over to the Florida’s Nature Coast you see them everywhere. The boat was designed and made to fish for none other than the tarpon. Many of the tarpon line class world records come out the Homosassa area and that’s where this boat spends a lot of it’s time fishing. The owner of the boat previously had a Lake and Bay Boca Grande which he fully decked out and wanted to do the same with this skiff. He said once you fish with SeaDek you never go back, the comfort and traction provided makes fishing a much more enjoyable on those long days on the water. We decided to go with cool gray over storm gray for the colors in a 6mm thickness. The color combination provides a nice subtle look. The before and after pictures really show the difference. If you are interested in decking out your boat or skiff you can contact Castaway Customs at tyler@castawaycustoms.com.

Got a call from a customer who wanted to deck out pretty much his entire 31 Fountain. The offshore center console was pretty much gutted when he purchased it so he was rebuilding the way he wanted to adding some nice custom touches. The boat was recently wrapped so the customer wanted something darker and brighter than our stock caribbean blue color to help accent his boat wrap. Fortunately we had enough of a custom color laying around to make what he wanted. A few nice features on this boat are the thicker helm pad with the Fountain logo to offer more cushioning and comfort while driving. We also decided to cover the floor, steps, and cuddy area with 8mm foam which was a combination of the 3mm brighter blue over our 5mm stock caribbean blue. This not only helps reduce fatigue, but also works excellent as a traction. Another very popular option I have done on several boats lately is a pad for the top of the console. This helps to keep things like your iPhone from sliding around when underway. If you are interested in having custom SeaDek designed and installed you can contact me at tyler@castawaycustoms.com.

Castaway Customs just finished a trip down to Islamorada to install custom SeaDek on a Maverick HPX-V sitting on the bow of a Garlington. The boat captain was tired of slipping on the nonskid and looking for something to make those long days fishing more comfortable. We decide to deck out everything to give the boat a fresh new look. We decided to go with a cool gray over storm gray to give it a nice subtle look. The original carpet in the skiff, although not that old, was starting to fall off and look a little dingy so we also decide to upgrade to SeaDek on the undergunnels. This is a very popular option on the Maverick line of boats and any flats boat really. We also decked out a couple of Yeti Coolers with Hogfish logos on them for the boat. Keep checking back in for a write up on the cockpit of the big boat. We are working on a neat job for her. If you are interested in getting any custom SeaDek work done on your boat, no matter how big or small, feel free to contact me at tyler@castawaycustoms.com

Captain Troy Sapp is a fishing guide based out of West Central Florida fishes what they call the Nature Coast of Florida. He guides out of a Maverick 21′ Master Angler as well as this Rampage 34′ Express. He wanted to know if the SeaDek product could dampen the growl of 920 HP diesels under the floor. The sound deadening ability is one characteristic of SeaDek that is often overlooked or forgot about. From a large Sportfish or express style boat like Troy’s Rampage to a small flats boat or skiff, SeaDek definitely quiets a boat down. He also was looking for something with comfort and traction which SeaDek also provides. After deciding upon the colors I made a trip back over to install the boat. The pictures don’t do the boat justice. The marlin logo designed by Boldwater really sets the boat off. The black border around the beach sand is a very nice color combination which really pops also. The boat looked like a brand new boat after it was installed. For more info on getting custom SeaDek for your boat contact Castaway Customs at 321-537-2039 or shoot me an email at tyler@castawaycustoms.com.

This was another job I completed on my trip up to New England. This particular boat was located in Mystic, Connecticut. The model is a 3570 Cruisers Yacht. The owner had carpet in the boat which ended up holding dirt and moisture. He decided to go with the faux teak and holly SeaDek to replace the carpet. On a previous project the owner had installed some Amtico teak and holly plywood flooring in the cabin of the boat so I designed the teak to match the width of the previously installed material. As you can see from the pictures it ended up looking great and matching quite nicely with interior flooring. In the future the owner plans on doing the swim platform to match the cockpit of the boat. SeaDek is a great addition to any cabin cruiser style boat and will make you boating experience more enjoyable. For more information on custom SeaDek products feel free to contact me at tyler@castawaycustoms.com, or give me a call at 321-537-2039.
