This Polaris Ranger got fully decked out in SeaDek®.
For many off-road enthusiasts, the Polaris Ranger is the epitome of rugged adventure and versatility. Its exceptional performance and durability make it a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts, farmers, and hunters alike. But what if we told you that you could take your Polaris Ranger to the next level of both style and functionality? That’s exactly what we did with our red Polaris Ranger when we decided to upgrade it with SeaDek® marine flooring. Here, we’ll share our experience and the transformation that took this vehicle to new heights.
We added custom cut and fit SeaDek® into this vehicle to increase comfort, traction, safety, productivity, efficiency, and aesthetic.
We also went with custom Ranger logo cutouts.
Our Upgrade Journey:
- Choosing the Right Design: The first step in upgrading our Polaris Ranger was selecting the perfect SeaDek® design to complement our red vehicle. SeaDek® offers a wide variety of colors and patterns, so we had plenty of options to choose from. We decided on a sleek black and red combination that not only matched our Polaris Ranger but also added a touch of elegance to its rugged exterior.
- Measuring and Customization: SeaDek® flooring is custom-made to fit the specific dimensions of your vehicle or boat. We carefully measured the floor area of our Polaris Ranger and provided the measurements to the SeaDek® team. This ensured a perfect fit and a seamless installation process.
- Installation: The installation of SeaDek® marine flooring is relatively straightforward, especially if you’re a DIY enthusiast. However, for those who prefer professional installation, SeaDek® certified installers are available to ensure a flawless finish. We opted for professional installation to guarantee a precise fit and a clean, polished look.
Benefits of Upgrading with SeaDek®:
- Improved Traction: The most noticeable difference after the SeaDek® upgrade was the improved traction. Whether we were navigating steep hills, rocky terrains, or muddy trails, the SeaDek® flooring provided exceptional grip, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring a safer ride.
- Comfortable Ride: SeaDek® is not only about functionality; it also adds a layer of comfort to your vehicle. The cushioning effect of the material helped reduce the impact on our bodies during off-road adventures, making our rides more enjoyable and less fatiguing.
- Enhanced Durability: SeaDek® is designed to withstand the harshest marine environments, so it’s no surprise that it’s equally tough on land. Our Polaris Ranger’s floor has been exposed to the elements, including rain, mud, and UV rays, without showing any signs of wear and tear. It’s a testament to SeaDek®’s exceptional durability.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Beyond its functional advantages, SeaDek® added a touch of elegance to our Polaris Ranger. It transformed the interior from a utilitarian look to a stylish and eye-catching vehicle, perfect for showcasing at off-road events and gatherings.

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.

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.

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.
