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.

Capt. Scott Lums 23 Contender gets a Custom SeaDek Facelift

I recently did some for work for Capt. Scott Lum who runs charters out of Port Canaveral aboard his 23′ Contender “Outcast”. Contender center console boats are known for their ride and as a fishing machine. If there is a cobia, tripletail, or kingfish anywhere in the vicinity they better watch out. Scott use to hold 6 pound class IGFA world record for tripletail. The Outcast is a 1997 so it has been around the block or ocean a few times and literally had no more non skid left on the deck. Scott gave me a call and wanted to SeaDek the entire floor of the boat to make it more safe and comfortable for his clients. As much use as the boat gets we decided to go with a 5mm storm gray color which is nice for hiding dirt and adds some contrast to the boat. The before and after pictures really show the difference. We will be adding some coaming bolsters as well as a helm pad for his crows nest up top in the future. If you are looking to charter someone to go fish out of Port Canaveral make sure to check out Capt. Scott Lum and if you are interested in getting some custom SeaDek put on your boat contact Castaway Customs at tyler@castawaycustoms.com.

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.
