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.

I recently got a call from Capt. Glen Brownlee who works for Estero Fire Rescue down in Lee County; I did some work for a few friends of his and he thought it would be a great idea to add custom SeaDek to the work boat in order to make it more comfortable and safe while on the water. SeaDek provides an excellent traction even when wet and makes for a safe working environment. The boat is a 22′ Boca Grande built by Panga Marine in Sarasota, FL. The Panga hull design is a tried and true design and real workhorse that has proven itself throughout Central America. The customer decided to go with a single 5mm Storm Gray material which is a good application for the floor, front deck, and gunnel tops of the boat. We went with a 10mm helm pad to add a little extra cushion when running through some rough water. If you are interested in having custom SeaDek designed and installed in your boat you can contact me at tyler@castawaycustoms.com.

I had the pleasure to meet up with Capt. Raul Montoro down in Miami. He fishes throughout South Florida and the Florida Keys. Raul runs a 17′ Dolphin Super Skiff that he keeps in great shape. He was looking for a way to make his boat more quiet for chasing big bonefish in Biscayne Bay and also make it more comfortable for his clients. Turns out the snow camo SeaDek was just the ticket. He decided to go with a floor kit, poling platform pad, casting platform pad, and under gunnel pads. The carpet on his under gunnels had started to tear up after only a few years so he figured he would fix the problem once and for all by going with SeaDek. The look of the snow camo really sets his boat apart and looks great. Make sure to check out Raul at www.biscaynebayfishing.com. If you are interested in getting some SeaDek for your boat feel free to call me at 321-537-2039 or email me at tyler@castawaycustoms.com

I get many calls asking what is the most common area of a boat that people choose to cover. The cockpit or floor area would have to be one of the most popular. SeaDek comes in a variety of colors so we have something that will look good no matter what type of boat you have. If you have a flats boat or skiff it will dampen sound and allow you sneak up on those spooky schools of fish a little easier. SeaDek also works great if you are rebuilding or repairing an older boat. SeaDek works great for covering up spider cracks and chips in your gel coat. It not only covers, but also seals up the area so you don’t have to worry about moisture. The cockpit of a boat also gets more traffic than other areas of the boat, so if you your nonskid has worn down or off, SeaDek provides great traction and makes your boat more safe. We have many templates for floor kits so contact us to see if we have a pattern for your floor. If we don’t we can line up an appointment to scan your floor. If you have any questions you can email me at tyler@castawaycustoms.com or contact me at 321-537-2039.
