Top Products and Trends
You know we always have our finger on the trends over here at Sportfish Outfitters. Based on sales, conversation, dock chatter, and general industry buzz, these are some of the top products and trends we have seen in the Sportfish and Center Console world this year.
Triton Teak Sealer
The trend started slow earlier in the year after being popular on larger yachts but once it took off everyone wanted some. It’s a new high tech sealer that bonds with the teak fibers. It repels water and maintains the natural sanded look of teak for a period of up to a few months depending on use and care. It should be applied just after sanding or a good cleaning with a brush or rag in a few coats. Welded Seam Yacht Fenders
For years we have seen these on motoryachts. They are making their way into the Sportfish and Center Console market. They aren't better than Polyform or Taylor fenders, which have been the standard for years on Sportfish and Center Console boats, but they are a great way to mix up the selection onboard to fend off the occasional idiot...or just the dock. They are extremely lightweight and easy to inflate/deflate and stow away. We use a one gallon shop-vac and it takes 30 seconds. They are not just for big boats either... The 10x26 is perfect for center consoles that have limited space and they give you extra peace of mind at those sandbar raft ups.
Navisafe Portable Nav Lights
Navisafe Portable LED Nav Light: The buzz has started and these are the best option we have seen yet for a backup nav light. They are USCG certified and have Smoove Wash
We aren’t sure what’s in the special sauce up there at Smoove but this stuff works and also doesn’t strip wax or coatings off. Plus, it smells like bubble gum. Every customer raves about it. So, if you’re looking for something to help make boat washing a little less miserable at the end of the day, give this stuff a try. We expect to see a lot of growth from Smoove in 2019 as they have some new products coming out in their line that may be as popular as this wash is.
Eartec Headset Communication
It’s not just for yachts anymore! This has been a big year for headset communication on sportfish boats. The trend is growing and after using them a few times you’ll see how it changes the dynamic on the boat. Less yelling and better communication. No, they aren’t completely waterproof but they hold up well under normal conditions. We believe that for the price point they serve their purpose well and Eartec is always looking to improve their product.LED Light Bars
USCG Approved Battery Distress Signal
Taco Metals Rod Holder Cleat
So simple but it saves so many headaches. For both Sportfish and Center Consoles, there never seems to be a good spot to tie a fender to. We have had them custom made in the past but Taco now has them in full production at a great price point and they are popular with all of our customers. We use them and love them and we think you will too.
