Our team did extensive work on this Jupiter center console boat customizing it with new boat flooring from SeaDek®, a new LED backlit acrylic dashboard with a custom switch panel and a Garmin chartplotter. We also had seat covers made and installed new JL Marine Audio stereo system.
SeaDek® Boat Flooring
SeaDek® is a revolutionary product utilized not only by the top boat builders in the marine industry, but also in the aftermarket by boat owners seeking custom products. Made from closed-cell PE/EVA foam, SeaDek® products offer safe and comfortable alternatives to marine traction products currently on the market. SeaDek® replaces the need for molded in non skid, saving OEMs time and money during the manufacturing process.
Custom Acrylic Dash
We custom fabricate new dashboards and switch panels out of acrylic. Perfectly measured and finished to give a seamless look, these panels and dashboards are made to order and can be designed with logos and backlit with LED lighting. BocaTech Switches were chosen as the marine switches for electronics.
Custom Seat Covers
Seat covers offer great protection from the elements and can help your upholstery last longer. Custom made to fit your seats and other areas, we suggest that everyone with a boat gets this kind of protection.
JL Marine Audio
MediaMaster IOS unit was flush mounted in the new acrylic dash, new marine speaker amps were installed along with new JL Audio Marine speakers around the boat.
Garmin Marine Chartplotter
Harness the power of Garmin at your helm with our easy-to-use chartplotters and fishfinders. Get navigation and sonar technology with an intuitive interface that combines advanced technology and connectivity to meet the needs of any captain or angler.
Next Level took this 2023 Regal 36XO to the “Next Level” with all sorts of amazing upgrades. Our client wanted us to go above and beyond with custom lighting, a fully custom JL Audio kit, seamlessly integrated Garmin Technology & of course SeaDek® marine flooring for a consistently beautiful look. This Regal is ready to ride!
SeaDek®
We installed 8mm thickness SeaDek® marine flooring, in the Storm Gray over Cool Gray colorway featuring a custom Fractal floor pattern. SeaDek® is non-slip, skid-resistant decking material built to weather the harshest climates, giving you and your family steady traction and peace of mind year-round. SeaDek®’s high-performance marine foam can be applied almost anywhere on a boat and you can choose from a variety of options from color, thickness, and routing patterns.
JL Audio
We created a fully custom JL Audio marine system for this Regal, including four pairs of the 6.5-inch (165 mm) Marine Coaxial Speakers with Transflective™ LED Lighting, with Gloss White Trim Rings & GlossWhite Sport Grilles. Paired with that are two 10-inch (250 mm) Marine Subwoofer Drivers with Transflective™ LED Lighting, Gloss White Trim Rings, Gloss White Sport Grilles. This fully integrated setup runs through a JL Audio 3-Way Power Distribution Block, 2 xdm7005 amps and is connected to a Stinger Marine grade 150AMP circuit breaker.
Garmin
Next up was installing a GARMIN GC™ 100 Wireless Camera. Garmin’s compact GC™ 100 marine camera connects wirelessly to your chartplotter and lets you take a look at what’s going on without taking your hands off the wheel. This wireless camera is small enough to fit just about anywhere and built-in IR LED illumination makes it effective in total darkness, so it’s ideal for engine rooms and other out-of-sight areas. You can check out high-quality video on your compatible chartplotter, plus any other chartplotter on the same network. If you own a larger boat, you’ll be happy to know that you can pair up to seven cameras and view content from up to four of them at the same time.
Shadow Caster
Our client’s choice of lighting was Shadow Caster, so we delivered. We installed five SCR : 24 Series single color and multi color lights with durable bronze housing, borosilicate lens and 10’ submersible-grade cable. Next, we added Shadow Caster: SCM-CL Courtesy Lights which are Lights are low profile, edge emitting LED lights offering 110″ beam angle (single color) and 130″ (multi-color).

Beyond comfort, a Maverick boat became a haven for anglers with an innovative addition – the SeaDek® ruler. This practical solution not only enhances the fishing experience but also adds a touch of convenience. The SeaDek® ruler is more than just a measurement tool; it’s a connection to the sport of fishing itself. As anglers reel in their catch, they can easily measure their success right on the boat, creating memories that are marked by both the thrill of the catch and the convenience of technology.
Custom Built Center Console
We built this center console fully custom and embedded technology into it. Made out of fiberglass, we were able to custom fit a new chartplotter from Garmin and add the engine gauges, plus a new light bar. The end result looks like the center console came from the factory.
Chartplotter and Switches Upgrade
New features:
Garmin 8600 Series 12 In Touchscreen IPS Multi-Function Display Chartplotter/ Sonar Combo, BlueChart G3 and LakeVu. It was also given an Airmar B75m thru hull transducer. Newly installed BocaTech Switchboard that was custom made from acrylic on our CNC machine then backlit with LED lighting.
The Custom Designed Center Console and Bocatech Switchboard
The fully custom-built center console pod is fully integrated with acrylic cutouts that showcased the chartplotter and radio screens. These cutouts weren’t just functional; they were a testament to design precision. The navigation screen, a gateway to charting new horizons, a connection to the world beyond the waters, were elegantly embedded within the console pod. This arrangement ensured that vital information was readily available without disrupting the boat’s aesthetic.
The Bocatech switch board found its home within the center console, the boat’s interior look took on a new dimension. The center console became a command center, where every function was at the boater’s fingertips. The beauty of the switches aligned perfectly with the boat’s aesthetics, creating an environment that was both inspiring and intuitive.
Lighting and Sound System

The waters beneath seemed to come alive with a magical glow, marking a passage into the unknown with a touch of luminous brilliance.
Bimini Top Cover
Crafting Comfort: The Importance of a Bimini Top Cover
A bimini top cover isn’t just a practical accessory; it’s a gateway to comfortable leisure. It provides a haven from the sun’s intensity while allowing boaters to savor the surrounding beauty without worry. In the heart of the open waters, the bimini top cover becomes a retreat, a place where conversations flow, meals are shared, and moments are cherished.
Custom Upholstery and Fabrication
We gave this Maverick custom made upholstery for maximum comfort out on the water.
We powder coated the frame of the seat and the tower around the motor.
Power Pole and Trolling Motor
This customer asked for a new trolling motor and a shallow anchor system both from Power Pole. The Move PV trolling motor was chosen. Power Pole scoured every inch of standard trolling motors for reoccurring failure points unacceptable to top anglers. This allowed us to reinforce MOVE with backup systems on top of backup systems, on top of even more backup systems, in just the right places, to maximize resiliency. All because we know seasoned anglers demand the most out of their trolling motor and live by them every day.
The ultimate game-changer in Total Boat Control, MOVE PV has been crafted with almost a decade’s worth of hard work and dedication from Power-Pole. This next-gen brushless trolling motor is designed to deliver unparalleled power, impressive durability and extreme efficiency – all while operating with near absolute silence.

Lighting
A New Horizon of Illumination: The Shadow Caster SCR 24 Series Lights
The allure of the sea under the stars can be enchanting, and the Shadow Caster SCR 24 Series lights are designed to capture that magic. With multi-color capabilities, these lights can transform the boat’s surroundings into a canvas of vibrant colors, creating an unforgettable atmosphere for nighttime excursions. From soothing blues to vivid reds, the lighting possibilities are as diverse as the sea itself.
Shadow Caster SCR 24 Series lights installed, with multi color lights, and also with Surge Protection, Reverse Polarity Protection, and Thermal Throttling Protection.
Surge Protection
Navigating the waters requires both beauty and security. That’s why the incorporation of Surge Protection in this lighting upgrade is crucial. Unpredictable weather conditions or power fluctuations can pose a threat to electronic components. Surge Protection acts as a safeguard, preventing sudden voltage spikes from damaging the lights or other sensitive equipment on board.
Reverse Polarity Protection
In the dynamic world of boating, the installation of equipment can sometimes result in incorrect wiring. With Reverse Polarity Protection in place, the Shadow Caster SCR 24 Series lights can withstand incorrect wiring connections without sustaining damage. This protection ensures that the lights continue to operate flawlessly even in situations where wiring mistakes could have proven disastrous.
Thermal Throttling Protection
The marine environment can be demanding, subjecting equipment to varying temperatures. To maintain optimal performance and longevity, the inclusion of Thermal Throttling Protection is essential. This protection mechanism monitors the temperature of the lights and adjusts their output to prevent overheating. This not only ensures consistent performance but also enhances the lights’ lifespan.
A Symphony of Light and Protection
With the installation of the Shadow Caster SCR 24 Series lights and the incorporation of advanced protections, this boat underwent a remarkable transformation. As the sun sets and the stars emerge, the boat now becomes a beacon of color and elegance on the water, drawing attention and admiration.

One of the biggest upgrades we made to the Defender ‘Lone Star’ was the installation of new JL Audio speakers and subwoofers.

We installed new custom bumpers on both the front and rear of the vehicle. These not only look great, but they also offer added protection.
The new winch added to the vehicle makes it even more capable off-road. This is perfect for anyone who likes to take their vehicle off the beaten path and explore the great outdoors.
