Most boats around Pace live on a trailer in the driveway rather than at a slip, coming out for weekend runs down toward East Bay or over to Escambia Bay by way of the boat ramps along the way. That in-and-out routine puts a deck through a different kind of wear than a boat that never leaves the water — hauling on and off a trailer scuffs and stains factory non-skid fast. True North Marine Services builds custom MarineMat boat decking for Pace boat owners from our Elberta shop, about an hour away, with every deck scanned, cut, and installed by our own crew.
True North Marine is a MarineMat Platinum approved fabricator, and that status doesn’t change based on whether a boat pulls in from the driveway next door or a trailer parked over in Pace.
From the Blackwater River down to East Bay
Family center consoles and bay boats trailered out of Pace typically end up somewhere between the lower Blackwater River, East Bay, and the wider water of Escambia Bay, depending on the day. Skiffs stick closer to home water. Loading a boat back onto a trailer with wet feet and a slick deck is exactly the kind of moment that makes owners start looking at custom boat flooring instead of living with the factory surface.
Custom boat flooring built for a boat that travels
MarineMat keeps its grip wet or dry, which matters most right at the ramp when you’re stepping between the boat and the trailer. It’s cushioned and cooler underfoot than bare fiberglass, resists mold, mildew, and staining even when the boat sits in a driveway between trips, and rinses clean with a garden hose. The material carries a 3-year warranty against defects. Around Pace, the word SeaDek gets used loosely for any foam boat deck out there; MarineMat is the specific product line we build, and our shop handles the whole thing rather than farming out the cutting.
Colors, patterns, and matching accessories
- Marina Blue and Gulfstream stay the most requested shades for bay boats and center consoles.
- Charcoal or a teak-look finish for owners after a different look.
- A logo, name, or inset border worked into the design at no added step.
- Matching pieces available too — see cooler tops and helm and dash pads.

From the driveway to a finished deck
A call or text with your boat’s details and a couple of photos starts your free measure and quote. Once you sign off, we schedule your TrueFit scan, and the full sequence from there is on our process page. Since most Pace boats already travel on a trailer, plenty of owners just pull straight in to our secure 45-acre facility in Elberta, though we’re glad to come to you instead if that’s easier.
Close to Milton, Pensacola, and Gulf Breeze
Along with Pace, we also serve boat owners in Milton, Pensacola, and Gulf Breeze.
Pace MarineMat FAQ
True North Marine is a MarineMat Platinum approved fabricator. Here’s what Pace owners usually ask.
Do you install custom boat flooring in Pace?
Yes. Whether your boat lives on a trailer or a home dock, the scan, cut, and install are handled entirely by our crew.
Is MarineMat the same as SeaDek?
They fall under the same umbrella of foam decking. Ours goes by MarineMat, and every piece is planned and cut here rather than bought finished.
Does the boat have to be off the trailer for the scan?
No. We can scan a Pace boat on the trailer, at a ramp, or at our secure 45-acre facility in Elberta, whichever fits your schedule.
