Surf Expo 2012, Bote paddle board pads

2012-01-16T08:59:00.000-08:00

We've been manufacturing these pads for Bote now for quite some time. They were a big hit at this year's Surf Expo in Orlando, FL. Stand Up Paddle fishing looks to be the next big thing in an already booming SUP market.

We've been getting a lot of requests lately from hunters for camo sheet material to be used in tree stands/blinds. Here's one we did for our friends over at Salt ater Sprotsman a while back. Still holding up well I hear.

Applying a SeaDek Swim Platform Pad

2012-01-11T13:00:00.000-08:00

Watch as Jason Gardner quickly and easily applies a SeaDek swim platform pad to a swim platform.

TOOLS:

The only items you'll need for your installation should be a sharp razor blade, masking tape, window cleaner and a clean cloth.

- Thoroughly clean the area where SeaDek will be applied. We recommend using a cleaner that will not leave any residue. A glass cleaner used with a clean cloth or scotch-bright pad works well. Make sure the area is completely dry before applying the pad.

- If there is any glue, grease, adhesive or other substances on the area that the pads are to be applied, mineral spirits followed by acetone may be used to remove them. Be sure to use a glass cleaner afterwards as suggested above. Again the platform surface must be completely dry before applying the pad.

- If pads are being applied to a new boat right from the factory it is very important that all mold release is thoroughly removed from the boat surface. Be sure to check with the boat manufacturer before applying pads.

- Arrange the pad to the exact location to be covered and verify proper fit and placement. Once you are sure the pad is the right size and are happy with the location turn the pad over so that the paper backing is facing up. With a sharp razor, carefully cut the paper backing right down the center being careful not to cut into the pad. From the center, peel up each side a little to make sure the backing is completely cut all the way through.

- Turn the pad back over and reposition the pad exactly where you want it to be installed. Firmly secure one side of the pad to the platform using two-inch masking tape.

- Now lift up the untapped side of the pad with one hand and loosen the paper backing with the other. This process is a little easier if you have someone to help you out. Slowly and carefully pull up the rest of the backing while applying the pad to the platform. Use your hand to apply pressure to the pad to assure a firm bond between the pad and the platform.

- Remove the tape from the other side of the pad and repeat the application process just like you did on the first side.

- Take time to press the entire pad into place with your hands especially around the edges of the pad. You can watch a video demonstration of this installation on our website:

SeaDek Option On The New Sea Ray 210 SLX

2012-01-05T07:54:00.000-08:00

A Cut Above: The New Sea Ray® 210 SLX®

Knoxville, Tenn. – Jan. 4, 2012 – Not all bowriders are created equal. Case in point: Sea Ray’s luxurious SLX series. These five boats ranging in length from 21 to 30 feet include deluxe features such as premium soft-touch dashboards with double-top stitching, treatments in wood, SmartCraft® diagnostic instrumentation, and chrome switches and levers. And that’s just their helms! Thrilling performance comes from powerful MerCruiser® engines and precision deep-V hulls. Simply put, these exceptional sport boats are made to enhance the owner’s image as well as their confidence and enjoyment on the water.

Replacing the previous 210 SLX, Sea Ray’s new 210 SLX model fits right into the fleet. It comes with impressive standard appointments, a meticulously crafted interior and sleek external styling — creating a dynamic mix of form and function. Take, for example, the deep, roomy bow area with plush cushions that are hinged to allow for noticeable convenience when accessing or stowing gear. The floor here and in the cockpit is finished fiberglass for enhanced structural integrity and longevity, and snap-in carpeting comes standard. Watersports enthusiasts will love the lockable wakeboard locker with vinyl matting and a gas-assisted lid, as well as the optional forward-facing, folding tower with integrated bimini top and anchor light.

Because no two owners use their boat in the same way, the 210 SLX offers a choice of two distinct cockpit configurations, each with attractive, comfort-conscious accoutrements. Standard is a motorbox flanked by jump seats and backed by a sun pad. A popular option is a large sun pad lounger with starboard side walk-thru. Owners also get a choice of interior color schemes — chocolate/taupe (standard) or taupe/white (optional) — which incorporate elegant two-tone vinyl and color-matched accents throughout. Either interior layout is ideal for basking in the warm sun or chilling out at water’s edge using the integrated/extended swim platform with stainless-steel swim ladder and optional SeaDek® padding.

Perfect for that action-packed weekend, the 210 SLX comes with a standard 220-hp MerCruiser 4.3L MPI engine and Alpha® I sterndrive, or owners can upgrade to 300 horses and a Bravo® III drive for boosted performance. Custom, backlit SmartCraft instruments with glass lenses continuously monitor the ride and provide diagnostic information to the driver. Entertaining is a breeze thanks to a Sony® stereo with CD player, four Rockford Fosgate® weatherproof speakers and iPod® connector, all controlled by a digital display cockpit remote. The helm itself has a handsome trim package in wood and metal that imparts driver-focused luxury.

Sea Ray has added a number of exterior enhancements across its Sport Boats lineup for 2012, and the 210 SLX reaps the benefits. Along with the aforementioned optional black watersports tower, the 210 SLX boasts a custom three-piece, curved glass windshield with black anodized frame for great visibility and good looks. Customizing options also include two-tone gel coat, special graphics and full-colored hull bottoms in a variety of colors. A trailer with surge disk brakes and a swing-away tongue is standard, but owners can opt for a Boatmate® Platinum Premium Trailer with two-tone paint scheme matching the boat’s hull color, radial tires, Sea Ray LED backlit logo and more.

When customers invest in a Sea Ray, they not only get one of the world’s finest pleasure boats, they also become part of the Sea Ray family with complimentary membership in the Sea Ray Owners Club™ and its world of exclusive benefits and opportunities. Only Sea Ray can bring it all together. The best boats — like the new 210 SLX — the best programs and the best boating experience. After all, our customers’ taste for the exceptional doesn’t stop at the shoreline.
