I had the opportunity to work with a customer on a neat project recently. He was having two Lake and Bay boats built to ship down to Golfito in Costa Rica. These boat are going to be used in coordination with Mote Marine Laboratory to help further the study of snook. From everything that I have gathered a 40 acre snook pond has been built or setup that has natural tidal flow and all sorts of bait already in the pond to provide a natural environment to breed and study snook. The 17 Predator will be used in the pond and the 20 Boca Grande will be used to transport fish. The amount of livewell space on the 20 is incredible. Lake and Bay built a special one off livewell that is inside the deck extension and drops down below the floor of the boat. Another neat SeaDek feature that the guys over at Lake and Bay designed into the new Boca Grande is a SeaDek gasket. What this does is make the hatches water tight and also stops them from rattling. Both boats will be used for work and play and now with them decked out in custom SeaDek, they can do it more comfortably and safe. If you need any sort of custom SeaDek work contact Castaway Customs via email at info@castawaycustoms.com

The cool gray over storm gray color combination is nice and subtle

The front deck of the 17 is also very spacious
