Carver Yacht Faux Teak SeaDek

I got a call recently from a gentlemen who was fed up with the snap in carpet in his Carver Yacht holding dirt and water.  He gave me a call and made an appointment to meet up and have me digitize his boat.  Within about an hour I scanned the cockpit, fly bridge, and step areas on the boat.  The boat owner had gone with real teak decking on his last boat and while he liked the look he hated the maintenance that came along with it.  After scanning the boat I went over a few different layouts of how we could design the teak.  Some customers like the planking to run all the way to the edge of the pad while other like to have everything bordered out.  In this instance, the owner wanted to go with the borders and we used the existing non-skid pattern molded into the deck for a pattern to follow.  This allows water to drain and looks very clean.  After working out all the details I swung by and installed the SeaDek, the owner was out of town at the time, but amazed out how nicely everything came out.  If you are interested in having faux teak SeaDek designed for your boat contact Castaway Customs at 321-537-2039 or you can email me directly at tyler@castawaycustoms.com.

What is SeaDek?

SeaDek is a closed cell EVA foam formulated for marine environment.  It is made using UV inhibitors to protect against fading and shrinkage.  SeaDek is also manufactured in the USA in Rockledge, FL.  SeaDek is designed to provide excellent traction when wet as well as provide cushioning for those long days on the water.  No matter what type of boat you own or run there is a SeaDek product to meet your needs.  From custom designed products to stock sheet material we have you covered.  The best part of the SeaDek product is the ease of application.  All SeaDek products have an easy peel and stick adhesive so you don’t have the hassle of messy glue.  Take a look around our website for more info and pictures of the different products.

Applications for SeaDek

SeaDek is a versatile product for boats and everyday use. While it was designed and developed for the marine environment it works well in any environment. The great thing about the sheet material is you can use it so many different applications. While you may not be able to get a nice beveled edge like order a stock or custom product from us, SeaDek cuts like butter with a sharp razor knife. If you are on a budget and cannot afford to have us come out and custom cut pads for your boat, or you are just handy and like a good do-it yourself project, SeaDek sheet material is great. Whether you are working on a large or small project we sell stock sheets in many different sizes that will fit your needs. If are working on a project and cannot find a sheet size that suits your application, feel free to contact us with the size you are looking for and we can assist you. So next time you are looking for some grip and traction or maybe just looking to cover something up think SeaDek.
