Ever wonder why some boat decks look better than others?
Besides wear and tear and the lack of skill used in the design and installation, it’s like many of my competitors just don’t know or care how to do it right!
About 6 years ago I decided to make a difference. I didn’t necessarily like the look of foam decks. It didn’t matter who made them or who installed them, they just look like patchwork. Lines weren’t straight, corners lifted, bubbles appeared and basically, it ruined the boat!
I chose to make a difference in an otherwise “cheap” foam deck industry!
DRB Marine was here to prove that not all boat deck companies are the same and with more effort, we can rise to the top!
The direction I set out for was a high quality design, expertly installed, that you can notice from the dock!
I wanted to shape a sheet of 6mm foam to look like a teak craftsman made it, not Harbor Freight!
Working with one of the finest eva foam manufacturers in the business, Marine Mat, we made some significant changes.
I created a seamless design I’ve never seen before and made it my standard.
I widened the usual 1” cheap looking border to 2” and changed the fragile cove edge to a round over!
This completely transitioned the look of a regular foam deck!
Now we’re talking!!!
Pictured in this post are many of our seamless designed decks looking like a “wall to wall installation and kicking the patchwork overboard!!!
Many of my associates and competitors throughout the country have noticed this incredible improvement and tried to follow our lead! However, to craft this to a meticulous result it took a lot of effort and most bailed on the idea and went back to the patchwork designs, easy installs and cheap pricing.
I chose to stick with what my eyes told me was a superior look.
Rather than load this post with my competitors crappy job photos, I’ve only shown a few so you can see what I’m talking about. Then you can research it for yourself. Look at their work, then look at mine! You’ll see the difference !!!
Some of the takeaways are:
Start with a premium product, ours is patented and available globally if you need a replacement piece!
Design it with care and consideration of the result!
Install it after proper preparation of the surface, so it stay down as it should!
And most importantly, back it up with an outstanding warranty!!!
So when you are ready for a new deck for your pride and joy, give us a call, you’ll be glad you did!!!
Treating your boat like our own!!!
