When I think of a typical West Coast style tower boat the Sheaffer 23 is what comes to mind. There are several companies that build similar style boats and the only thing that separates them is fit and finish and budget. This customer had an issue with rods banging around on his undergunnels so he wanted to do some undergunnel pads to not only protect his rods and reels, but also his boat. This boat is a family boat as well as a fishing machine so we added a pad to the swim step on the back to make it more comfortable and safe when crawling in and out of the boat. Many of these style boats have a nice sharp entry in the bow, but are very flat off the transom so having a helm pad is a must in rough seas. We added the Sheaffer logo to the helm pad for a nice custom touch and we also designed the helm pad so it’s wide enough for more than one person to stand on. These pads are Beach Sand over Caribbean Blue and matched the boat perfectly. The hull color is light blue and the inside of the boat was a sand color so everything accented nicely. If you are interested in having some custom SeaDek made for your bay boat or offshore center console make sure to contact Castaway Customs by email at tyler@castawaycustoms.com or give me a call at 321-537-2039.

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.

If there is a staple in boating industry for bay boats, it has the be the Pathfinder bay boat. The 22 Pathfinder is one of the models built out of the same factory that produces the Maverick flats boats and also the Hewes line of skiffs. It seems like no matter where I’m on the road working, or on the water fishing I always seem to see a Pathfinder bay boat. While there are a few different styles of the 22 Pathfinder, this particular boat is just the standard model. The customer was looking for a way to make his time on the water more comfortable and also give his boat a fresh new look. Castaway Customs designed a floor kit to cover the entire cockpit of the boat including the helm pad area and also under the leaning post to provide a cooler pad. Check out the before and after pictures to see what a difference the SeaDek makes. We decided to cover everything in 8mm cool gray over storm gray. While many customer choose black as a bottom color, this particular boat didn’t have very many black accents so the subtle change from the cool gray to storm gray was a nice clean look. If you are interested in having any custom SeaDek work done to your boat you can contact me at tyler@castawaycustoms.com or by phone at 321-537-2039.

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.
