We are also bringing some friends to give autographs out on flyers and posters.

Only on Thursday December 13th, will you have the chance to get your picture taken with Next Level Stars at the Captains Party on the 13th. Be sure to say “Hello” when you see Kristen and Raychel and ask for a picture/autograph.

This is a FREE EVENT and we encourage everyone of all ages to come and see all of the boats that dress up in Holiday cheer, some with lights and reindeer.

2018 Sportsman Masters 267

This Sportsman Boat Post Has Been Updated to 2020!

Click this link(Sportsman Boat) to head over to the newest pictures of the continued work done by our awesome team at Next Level including an all new JL Audio stereo, eRiggers, a Yamaha XTO V8 engine swap and more!


A customer brought in their Sportsman Masters 267 to have new flooring from Seadek®. As a few extra touches, we installed the owners favorite bird logo onto the top helm of the boat, and another one etched into one of the pads on the floor. For the captain, a large Sportsman text is etched into the pad and a SeaDek® name is also seen on the gunwale of the center console.

A new Simrad Radio unit was installed.

Power Steering was installed to give the captain the ease of steering with one finger. It’s that smooth!

Also notice the JL logo in the SeaDek® but we do not carry JL audio, we carry WetSounds, Kicker Audio, and Fusion Radio for marine speakers which you can see right above the steering wheel.

After installing Simrad and Rigid LED lights, we scanned and installed SeaDek® all over the boat.

Ask about custom designs for your project involving SeaDek® padding.

SeaDek® is a nonabsorbent, closed cell PE/EVA blended material specifically formulated for marine applications. Sports & commercial fishing, flats boats, sailboats, ski boats, commercial marine, house boat, personal water craft, platforms and steps are just a few of the unlimited applications for SeaDek® Non-Skid Marine Traction.
