Most boaters know that the right boat accessories can make your boating experience even better!

Adding accessories to your boat can range from upgrading current equipment or investing in new boat equipment & gear. Many accessories are add-on items that solve a problem, improve upon your boat, make it more comfortable or add a convenience. And accessories are not limited to used boats - even new boats can benefit from adding gear that meets your needs for boating.

New technology and innovative accessory ideas also continually come onto the market - sometimes making your current electronics or systems outdated (or at least seem that way!) There's always something new that will elevate your boat life.

Upgrading your boat's decking or flooring can make a big improvement on your comfort and the look of your boat.

Good quality decking is more comfortable to stand on, protects your cockpit or deck, resists slips and can even provide shock/sound absorptions. And of course, it makes your boat look nicer.

Flooring has come a long way in recent years, with many long lasting, quality options to choose from - like marine grade carpet, EVA foam nonskid decking and marine vinyl flooring. You can may also choose to have a permanently affixed flooring or a lay down/snap-in installation.

Many companies offer both custom made-to-order sizing, DIY kits or even have boat templates by brand & model on file for easier ordering. With material, color, binding & installation options to choose from, you can upgrade your boat decking & flooring how you want it.

Ready to upgrade your boat with new gear or equipment?

Boat upgrade projects can be exciting, but also challenging for boaters that chose to go the DIY route. Luckily, some of the more common projects have been tackled by many boaters and you can learn from there experiences and best practices. And in many cases the manufacturer is more than happy to assist with DIY guidance.

Other projects that are complex - like new boat canvas - may require the help of a professional that is best equipped to customize or install on your boat. At the very least you'll want to be sure that you are custom ordering properly prior to your own installation.

In the end, there's nothing more satisfying than upgrading your boat with new equipment or gear that makes your boat more comfortable, convenient or functional for how you like to boat.
