Had the opportunity to meet and work with the owner of Deltran Battery Tender. He owns a Triton 24 LTS Pro bay boat and also a 53 Viking sport fishing boat. He decide that he wanted to do work on both of his boat. On the Triton bay boat, he already had a SeaDek helm pad, and decided he wanted to cover the entire front deck. On his larger boat, after taking a look at it we realized that there were many different applications for custom SeaDek. He has a 250 QT Yeti Tundra cooler that he uses as a fish box, and also a seat in the cockpit of the boat. we decided to go with a 13mm pad to add extra cushioning for comfort and also put the name of his boat into the pad for that custom touch. Another great application in the cockpit of the boat that we decided to cover were the step box and also the steps going into the cabin of the boat. Once we climbed up the ladder into the upper station of the boat we realized that the upper helm as well as the forward seating area floor would be a nice addition. Check out the pics and if you are interested in any custom SeaDek work feel free to contact me.
If you have ever been digging for grouper or fished off of any offshore boat without coaming bolsters you will know it by the end of the day when your thighs are covered in bruises. Bare fiberglass isn’t a very comfortable surface and that is why many people cover the area you lean against while fighting a fish in the cockpit of their boats. Traditional coaming bolsters are made of foam and vinyl, much like a seat cushion. The problem with vinyl is it requires some up keep and also tends to mold and mildew after a while. Traditional coaming bolsters are very expensive and also require drilling many holes in the boat to attach the pad. SeaDek coaming bolsters take care of all the problems associated with traditional bolsters. Since SeaDek bolsters are made of a UV protected EVA foam formulated for the marine environment, you don’t have to worry about them fading, cracking, or mildewing like a vinyl bolster would. The EVA foam is also a closed cell foam so if you were to accidentally stick a gaff into it, you not have to worry about the pads absorbing or holding water. The application, like all SeaDek products, is an easy peel and stick application so it takes no time to make your boat more comfortable. Check out the video below to see how easy the installation is. We can manufacture the coaming bolsters in any of the stock SeaDek colors so we can make something that will look great on your boat. Castaway Customs carries stock sizes bolsters and specializes in custom applications. Feel free to contact us with dimensions of your boat for a quote. You can reach me at tyler@castawaycustoms.com.

While teak adds a very classic look to a boat, there are major downsides. One of the major issues is the cost. Teak is a very expensive wood and installing teak on a boat is very labor intensive therefore will set you back a good amount. The other downside to real teak is the amount of time and labor it takes to keep it looking good. It can be a full time job keeping it oiled up. While teak use to be one of your only options now there are many different faux teak options. The nice thing about faux teak is it gives you the look of teak without the maintenance and most of all without breaking the bank. There are different faux teak options out there, but many of them will still cost you around $50 per square foot installed, about half of the cost of real teak. SeaDek’s faux teak runs about half of the cost of other faux teak materials while still provide the comfort, traction, and durability that SeaDek is known for. Whether you are looking to cover the cockpit of a sportfishing boat or the interior cabin on a cabin cruiser, the faux teak SeaDek is a great option from every standpoint. Castaway Customs specializes in custom SeaDek applications and can design and install custom faux teak in your boat. Take a look at some of my recent work and feel free to contact me at tyler@castawaycustoms.com if you have any questions or for a price quote.
