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.

Faux Teak SeaDek

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.
