We recently had the pleasure of customizing a sleek Regal 1900 ESX boat, turning it into a true head-turner on the water. With Storm Gray over Cool Gray SeaDek and a premium JL Audio marine sound system, this boat brings comfort, style, and killer sound in one smooth package.
SeaDek: Storm Gray Over Cool Gray
Comfort and traction meet high-end design with custom SeaDek flooring throughout the boat. The Storm Gray over Cool Gray color combo perfectly complements the boat’s style while offering a non-slip, cushioned surface that keeps things safe and comfortable for all your water adventures. It’s UV-resistant, easy to clean, and built to last.
🔊 JL Audio Marine Speakers and Fusion Radio with Rear Remote
What’s a day on the water without some music? We upgraded this Regal with JL Audio marine-grade speakers, designed to cut through wind and waves with clean, powerful sound. Whether cruising or anchored on the shore with friends, these speakers bring the perfect soundtrack to every moment. On the rear of the boat, a Fusion remote was installed to give extended control to the new Fusion (by Garmin) radio unit at the drivers seat.

Pro wakeboarder Guenther Oka brought his Axis A24 boat in for a new KICKER Marine Audio system custom installed by our Florida Marine Customs team.
Out with the old stereo, here are pictures of before installing Kicker Audio.
The KICKER logo means it sounds great and will last for years. Whether your boat is in salt or fresh water, we know you need spectacular highs and lows to get that quality, full-range audio designed specifically for a marine environment.
The pictures are of the new speakers and amp installed.
Kicker Marine audio has a completely sealed motor structure and locking/sealed terminal cover make it splash-proof for long life, while a tough Santoprene® surround and marine-grade polypropylene cone pump out the bass, no matter how long or loud the party lasts.

A boat isn’t just a vessel; it’s a canvas on which memories are painted with the brushstrokes of music.

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.

From soothing blues to vivid reds, the lighting possibilities are as diverse as the sea itself.

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.
