Before the Transformation: A Blank Canvas
The Sportsman 19 Reef Centre Console is known for its clean, simple design, offering ample space for anglers and all the essentials for a great day of fishing.
But while the original flooring was practical, it lacked the personality and branding Hot Tackle envisioned.
They needed more than just an upgrade; they needed a design that would align with their brand and withstand the rigors of their fishing lifestyle.
The Renovation Process: From Vision to Reality
Setting the Stage
The first step was stripping down the original deck to ensure a clean slate.
Every detail was prepped to ensure the custom flooring would fit flawlessly and stay durable for years to come.
Custom Artwork: Where Creativity Shines
The standout feature of this project was the custom design work.
Working closely with Hot Tackle, we created a visually stunning layout that blended branding with functionality. Key elements included:
Key elements included:
• Bold Hot Tackle logos prominently displayed throughout the boat.
• Fish ruler graphics seamlessly integrated into the deck, making it easy to measure catches.
• Wave-inspired artwork and brand details, flowing across the deck and side panels for a cohesive and dynamic look.
• Social media handles and website links, turning the boat into a mobile advertisement for Hot Tackle.
This intricate design was not only eye-catching but also practical, giving the boat a unique identity while staying true to its fishing roots.
Colour Selection: Striking the Perfect Balance
To bring the vision to life, we chose a teak-and-black colour scheme. This combination offered a timeless marine aesthetic while making the artwork pop.
The contrast between the bold black patterns and the warm teak tones created a deck that’s both professional and visually stunning.
Precision Installation: Bringing It All Together
Installing this flooring required more than just technical know-how—it was an art form in itself.
Each piece was carefully aligned to ensure the designs flowed perfectly from one section to the next.
The result was a seamless integration of form and function, combining beauty with practicality.
The Results: A One-of-a-Kind Masterpiece
Hot Tackle’s Sportsman 19 is now a floating work of art, turning heads and sparking conversations wherever it goes.
Here’s what sets this project apart:
- Bold Branding: The custom artwork and logos elevate the boat into a powerful marketing tool that captures Hot Tackle’s identity.
- All-Day Comfort: The cushioned EVA foam flooring ensures fatigue-free fishing trips, providing comfort even during long hours on the water.
- Unmatched Safety: The non-slip surface gives anglers confidence in wet conditions, especially when hauling in big catches.
- Effortless Maintenance: Stain-resistant and easy to clean, the flooring handles saltwater, dirt, and debris with ease, keeping the boat looking pristine.
- Built to Last: Neptune Trideck EVA flooring resists UV rays, salt, and heavy traffic, ensuring it stays in top condition no matter how hard it’s used.
