The iconic yellow Ski Nautique boat embarked on a journey of transformation at our shop. This boat underwent a series of upgrades that blended the power of technology with the allure of the open waters. From custom JL Audio speakers to a Fusion Radio system and the embrace of SeaDek®, the Ski Nautique’s evolution is a testament to the harmony of innovation and beauty.
This Ski Nautique got a new stereo, speakers, and SeaDek®
JL Audio Speakers
The heartbeat of any boating experience is the soundtrack that accompanies every journey. For the yellow Ski Nautique, this meant an immersive auditory journey with the installation of custom JL Audio speakers. These speakers, designed for marine environments, perfectly blended performance and durability. With a symphony of sound that cascades over the waters, every adventure became a musical masterpiece, resonating with the boat’s vibrant energy.
Fusion Radio System
The Fusion Radio system seamlessly integrated into the Ski Nautique’s dashboard is the navigator of melodies. With an intuitive interface, wireless connectivity, and access to various audio sources, the Fusion Radio system brought an element of convenience to the boat’s interior. Whether it’s tuning into a favorite station or connecting to personal playlists, the Fusion Radio system transformed the boat into a floating concert hall.
A Sea of Comfort: SeaDek® Upgrade
Comfort is a key aspect of any boating experience, and the Ski Nautique embraced this with the introduction of SeaDek® marine flooring. The once-traditional surfaces were transformed into soft, cushioned areas that invited passengers to revel in comfort. SeaDek® not only enhances relaxation but also ensures safety with its non-slip surface.
Where Technology Meets Artistry
The journey of upgrading the yellow Ski Nautique boat with custom JL Audio speakers, a Fusion Radio system, and SeaDek® is an embodiment of craftsmanship and transformation. The integration of technology required precision and expertise to ensure every note was crisp and clear. The installation of SeaDek® demanded an understanding of design, aesthetics, and functionality to create an environment that was as safe as it was inviting.

SeaDek®
Setting Sail with SeaDek®: A New Level of Comfort
Navigating the waters can be both exhilarating and soothing. To make the experience even more enjoyable, we embarked on the journey of upgrading a boat’s flooring with SeaDek®, a premium marine flooring solution. SeaDek® offers a soft and comfortable surface that transforms the boat’s interior into a space of luxurious relaxation. Whether it’s lounging in the sun or moving around the boat, SeaDek® adds an extra layer of comfort that enhances the entire experience.
Innovative Utility: The SeaDek® Ruler for Measuring Fish
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
Sound system from JL Audio. LED lighting and Lightbar by Razor Lumitec.
Nestled within the center console, this lightbar brought illumination that was as functional as it was stunning. With razor-sharp precision, the lightbar lit up the boat’s surroundings, extending the journey into the night. 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.
Anchors Away!
This Dorado got upgraded with custom upholstery, a custom center console, upgraded lighting, got decked out in SeaDek®, and got a next level audio upgrade.
Audio
Custom installed JL Audio Marine Subwoofer, 7.7 inch Marine Coaxial Speakers with Transflective™ LED Lighting, 8.8 inch Marine Coaxial Speakers, and a Marine System Amplifier.
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.

Next Level is proud to present our latest project, the customization of a Defender ‘Lone Star’ that is sure to turn heads. Our team of expert technicians worked tirelessly to give this vehicle an incredible facelift, both inside and out. Here’s a closer look at what we did.
One of the biggest upgrades we made to the Defender ‘Lone Star’ was the installation of new JL Audio speakers and subwoofers. This system is designed to deliver crystal-clear sound with deep bass that will blow you away. To give the vehicle’s interior a sleek and modern look, we customized it with new SeaDek Marine Products®. This not only looks great, but it also adds an extra layer of protection to the vehicle’s surfaces.
We also upgraded the vehicle’s lighting kit to make it street legal, complete with turn signals. This not only makes it safer to drive on public roads, but it also adds a unique touch to the vehicle’s appearance.
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.
Finally, we upgraded the vehicle’s wheels and tires with new Raceline Wheels and Toyo Tires to give the vehicle a more aggressive look while providing better traction and handling in off-road conditions. Overall, we are extremely proud of the work we did on this Defender ‘Lone Star’ and we’re confident that our customer will love the end result!

Look no further than Next Level, Orlando’s premier shop for custom electronics installation on boats of all kinds. Recently, we had the pleasure of upgrading a beautiful red Nautique boat with top-of-the-line equipment from JL Audio and Fusion Electronics.
First and foremost, the JL Audio speakers that we installed in this boat are an absolute game-changer when it comes to sound quality on the water. JL Audio is known for their exceptional marine speakers, and we chose the M3 series for this particular installation. The M3 series offers exceptional clarity and volume, and they are built to withstand the harsh marine environment. They are also incredibly sleek and stylish, which made them the perfect choice for this Nautique boat.
In addition to the JL Audio speakers, we also installed a Fusion Electronics remote. The Fusion unit allows the boat owner to control their music and other audio sources from anywhere on the boat through their smartphone. It’s incredibly convenient and easy to use, and it ensures that the music is always flowing without any interruptions.
Overall, the upgrades that we made to this Red Nautique boat are sure to enhance the boating experience for the owner and their passengers. At Next Level, we take pride in our ability to transform boats of all kinds with custom electronics installations that are both functional and stylish.
