Perdido Key sits right on the state line, with Big Lagoon and Old River on the back side, the Intracoastal Waterway running through the middle, and Perdido Pass just up the road toward the Gulf. Pontoons, bay boats, and center consoles here pack a lot of sun and salt into a short season. True North Marine Services builds custom MarineMat boat decking for Perdido Key boat owners out of our Elberta shop, roughly 25 to 30 minutes away, and every deck we build is scanned, cut, and installed under our own roof.
True North Marine is a MarineMat Platinum approved fabricator, so a Perdido Key deck stays with the same team from the first scan through the final install.
Living on the state line: Big Lagoon to Perdido Pass
Center consoles heading out through Perdido Pass, bay boats picking through the grass flats of Big Lagoon and Old River, and pontoons idling along the Intracoastal all spend long stretches on the water here — and a deck that turns into a skating rink when wet, or gets too hot to stand on by noon, ruins the day faster than anything else.
Custom boat flooring for Perdido Key boats
- Grips the same wet or dry — no more white-knuckling it across a wet bow.
- Doesn’t bake in the sun like open fiberglass does by early afternoon.
- Shrugs off mildew and stains, and a hose is generally all it needs afterward.
- Covered for 3 years against manufacturing defects.
Perdido Key owners who’ve come across SeaDek-style foam decking while shopping around are describing this same category of product; we design, cut, and install MarineMat entirely on our own.
Patterns, borders, and pieces that match
Finish choices run from Marina Blue and Gulfstream to Charcoal or a teak-look pattern, and adding an inset border or a personalized name is part of the same design step, not an upcharge conversation. Take a look at the options on our products page, and get the background on our boat decking page. A number of Perdido Key owners round things out with a cooler top or new helm and dash pad while their boat is already here.
Getting your Perdido Key boat scanned and installed
It starts small — describe the boat, share a photo, and you’ll have a free measure and quote to review. Signing off puts the TrueFit scan on the calendar; after that you’ll pick a pattern and finish before our shop cuts and installs the material. Our process page covers the rest of the timeline. As for location, we’re happy to work along Big Lagoon or the Intracoastal, or you can trailer over to our secure 45-acre facility in Elberta if that’s simpler.

Perdido Key MarineMat FAQ
True North Marine is a MarineMat Platinum approved fabricator. A handful of things owners ask before getting started.
Do you install custom boat flooring in Perdido Key?
We do, whether the boat sits on Big Lagoon, Old River, or a lift along the Intracoastal — the whole job stays in house.
Is MarineMat the same as SeaDek?
They’re both EVA foam boat decking. The difference with us is that everything from the scan to the final cut is done by our own team.
Do I have to trailer my boat all the way to Elberta?
Only if you’d rather. We can just as easily come out to you near Big Lagoon or the Intracoastal for the scan and install.
