If you live around Elberta, you already know this water: Perdido Bay to the south, Wolf Bay just up the road, and Arnica Bay and the Lillian side within easy reach by trailer or by boat. True North Marine Services runs its shop right here, at 12630 Co Rd 87, and every custom MarineMat deck we’ve ever built started on this same property — measured, scanned, cut, and installed under one roof. For Elberta boat owners, that means the whole project happens close to home instead of shipping the boat off somewhere else.
True North Marine is a MarineMat Platinum approved fabricator, and being based right here in Elberta means you can walk through the shop, see the cutting equipment, and look at finished decks in person before you commit to anything.
Custom boat flooring for Elberta’s back bays
Boats based around Elberta spend their weekends drifting on Perdido Bay, idling up Wolf Bay, or launching toward Arnica Bay and the Lillian side. It’s calm, protected water most of the year, which means these boats get used constantly — and a deck that turns slick the moment it’s wet or blistering hot by midafternoon gets old fast. That everyday wear is exactly what pushes more Elberta owners toward custom boat flooring instead of living with the factory non-skid that came on the boat.
MarineMat is a closed-cell EVA foam deck that keeps its grip whether it’s soaked or bone dry, feels noticeably more comfortable underfoot at midday than bare fiberglass, and shrugs off mold, mildew, and staining with nothing more than a garden hose to clean it up. It’s backed by a 3-year warranty against defects. If you’ve heard the term SeaDek used for this kind of foam decking, MarineMat is the product we actually design, cut, and install, right here at the shop.
Patterns, colors, and add-ons built in house
Marina Blue, Gulfstream, Charcoal, and teak-look tones are the most requested patterns, though inset borders and a custom logo or name are just as easy to build into the layout. See the full range on our products page, or read more about the material on our boat decking page. A lot of Elberta customers pick up matching cooler tops or helm and dash pads during the same visit.
Drop the boat off, or let us come to you
Every project begins with a free measure and quote based on a call or text describing your boat. Once you approve and sign off, we put your TrueFit scan on the calendar, then move into design, in-house cutting, and install. Being local has its perks — plenty of Elberta owners simply pull straight into our secure 45-acre facility for the whole process, start to finish. If it’s easier for you, though, we’re just as glad to load up the truck and come to your dock or driveway instead. Full details are on our process page.
Close by: Foley, Perdido Key, and Orange Beach
Along with Elberta, we also serve boat owners in Foley, Perdido Key, and Orange Beach — all a short trip from the shop.
Elberta MarineMat FAQ
True North Marine is a MarineMat Platinum approved fabricator based right here in town, so here’s what most local callers ask first.
Do you install custom boat flooring for Elberta boats?
Yes. Since the shop is right here, most Elberta custom boat flooring projects are scanned, cut, and installed on-site from start to finish.
Is MarineMat the same as SeaDek?
Both are EVA foam boat decking. True North installs MarineMat, which we design and fabricate ourselves rather than sourcing pre-made pieces.

Absolutely — you’re welcome to bring your boat straight to our secure 45-acre facility at 12630 Co Rd 87 for the scan and install. If that’s not convenient, we can come to you instead.
