Boat Foam Decking & Flooring in Raleigh, NC
Most Raleigh boats live in a driveway or storage lot between lake trips. We come to you, template the deck, CNC-cut every piece and install it right where your boat sits.
Raleigh
Raleigh Boats, Raleigh Driveways
Raleigh has more lake options than most people realize: Falls Lake on the north side of town, Jordan Lake to the west, Lake Wheeler inside the city, and Harris Lake and Lake Benson close by.
Because most of those boats are trailered, we do the work where your boat sits: your driveway in North Raleigh, Wake Forest, Cary or Garner, a storage lot or a marina slip. No towing to a shop and no weeks without your boat.
The most requested job in Raleigh is replacing worn or moldy boat carpet with closed-cell EVA foam that won’t hold water. We also do full foam decks, casting decks with fish rulers, swim platforms, and helm and cooler pads.

Questions
Raleigh Foam Decking FAQ
Do you install boat foam decking in Raleigh?
Yes. We template and install at your home, storage lot or marina anywhere in Raleigh and nearby towns like Wake Forest, Cary, Apex and Garner.
Is this the same as SeaDek?
SeaDek is one brand of EVA foam decking. We install MarineMat, a premium closed-cell EVA foam with the same custom-cut, two-tone look. SeaDek is a trademark of its owner, and Deck Boss Marine is not affiliated with SeaDek.
Can you replace the carpet in my boat with foam?
Yes. Carpet replacement is one of our most common Raleigh jobs. Send a few photos of your deck and we’ll quote the new foam layout.
How much does boat foam flooring cost?
It depends on your boat’s size, how much area you cover and the design. Most full-deck projects average $3,000 to $4,000, and smaller jobs like cooler or helm pads cost much less.
