This Hydra-Sports Customs boat came to Next Level for a huge upgrade to the entire boat. We’ve added all new upholstery to the seats, and along the gunwales with custom stitching. A custom acrylic dash was made to flush mount the electronics like the Garmin Chartplotters and JL Audio radio unit. Next Level is one of the only custom boat aftermarket fabricators that are flush mounting the JL Audio receiver and other electronics. We also installed BocaTech Switches along with an Etching of Hydra-Sports logo with backlit lighting. This customer also got custom CNC cut SeaDek® cushioning and flooring in the boat.
Flooring and Upholstery
The boat was equipped with SeaDek® marine flooring everywhere in color combo Mocha over Black. The main flooring is 6mm thick with the helm pad at 13mm thick.
UPHOLSTERY – ALL NEW MATERIAL DOING NEW DIAMOND DESIGN
Audio
When it comes to sound we went with the best, JL Audio – a superior stereo for boats, 6 amps in a custom enclosure then wrapped to match the new seats. 4 tower speakers with covers, 4 T-top coaxial down-firing speakers, two 12” subwoofers, two 10” subwoofers, six outdoor side mounted speakers, four below deck JL coaxial speakers. We installed LED lights to add to the effect and painted the 3 engines and made custom OEM decals.
Customizations:

FLIR M232 Camera
The M232 pan and tilt camera is one of FLIR’s smallest and affordable marine thermal cameras. Featuring a resolution of 320 × 240, the M232 improves safety by revealing vessels and obstacles at night. Enjoy 360 degree viewing while underway. Combine the M232 with a Raymarine Axiom MFD and take advantage of FLIR ClearCruise™ intelligent thermal analytics. ClearCruise™ provides audible and visual alerts when “non-water” objects such as boats, obstacles, ornavigation markers—appear in the scene. This enhances boaters’ overall situational awareness, both day and night.
Navigation
A FLIR thermal and night vision camera and GPS radar was installed to the T-Top then repainted black to give a sleek appearance that matched the engines we repainted and added new decals to.

You’ve seen promotional vehicles on the road with vinyl wraps and the companies name on it. Well take a look at this Ford Monster Truck from J.S.J Unlimited that came into our shop!
J.S.J. Unlimited Ford Monster Truck
J.S.J Unlimited is a locally owned and operated, premier landscaping service in Central Florida. Their goal is to transform your property’s exterior and provide the maintenance necessary to keep it looking its best.
This truck has one numerous truck pulls and spends most of its time playing in mud.
Getting muddy is a southern thing
The owners of the truck came to us for custom bumpers, lights and sound, powder coating, custom sound and more. The bumpers had to be custom fabricated to hold Rigid Industries Radiance lightbars and pods. We custom build the actual headlights, installed new side mirrors, and even did a custom headliner feature.
Early stage pictures below show the work we first did to the truck. See more final images at the very bottom of this post.
Before Next Level Did Work
The truck only had a few lights tied to the frame. Those were eventually removed and replaced with new lights in custom bumpers.
To give the truck the Next Level treatment, we powder coated all the blue under the truck including springs and 4link arms. We painted the side mirrors and put new clear lenses for the turn signals. We added spike caps all around the 4 links at joints. Repainted the dash white and installed with new light switches. New custom made leather seats were installed for a clean and custom look for the Ford. Three JL Audio 12″ subwoofer in a custom box with an amp were installed behind the back seat to add even more sound to truck. We also had a new steal plate on the frame etched with our name and JSJ Unlimited.

Since these pictures featured above, we have updated the truck with even more! See video of the final work done on the Monster Truck.
We had 2 custom bumpers fabricated for the truck. The new front bumper was made to fit two 30″ Rigid Industries light bars and 4 Rigid Pod lights. The new rear bumper was made to house 4 more Pod lights. Each new Rigid Industries light comes from their Radiance series of lights that can be switched on to glow the color blue, at the same time, have the white lights controlled On or Off. A very cool feature from Rigid that we have been installing on other vehicles.
