Unleash the Gamefish: Sea Hunt Collaborates With Boat Outfitters
February 22, 2024 6 min read
Boat Outfitters’ long relationship with Sea Hunt allows the company to offer replacement parts, upgrades and fabrication materials that exactly match OEM quality and appearance. After all, Boat Outfitters and its parent company, Teak Isle, have been supplying Sea Hunt with OEM parts for nearly 30 years, prototyping and producing upwards of 1,500 unique components, including hatches, doors, livewell lids, dash panels, storage units, transom doors and more.
Several newly designed upgrades specifically for the Gamefish 25, 27 and 30 should be of particular interest to dealers; they are quick and inexpensive to install, easy to keep in stock, and provide real value for customers.
Pre-Cut Foam Helm Pads, Dash Pads and Step Covers
Boat Outfitters laser-cut foam decking is an advanced blend of EVA for cushioning and PE for toughness and stain resistance. All pieces are available in either teak on black (a good match for Sea Hunt’s upgraded tan upholstery) or gray on black, and all prominently feature the Sea Hunt logo.
The dash pad is custom fit for all Sea Hunt Gamefish models and not only looks great but also provides handy trays for glasses, sunscreen, phones, keys, and other incidentals and helps reduce glare.
It is made from 16mm (approximately 5/8”) foam decking. (Other sizes are available for many Ultra and BX models as well.)
Our Sea Hunt Gamefish helm pads likewise are cut from 16mm decking for superior shock absorption.

Two sizes are available: one to fit the Gamefish 25 and 27 and another to fit the Gamefish 30.
Step covers are designed to fit the recessed footrest on the aft side of the console and are available for the Gamefish 25, 27 and 30. They provide not only an aesthetic upgrade but also added traction.
The console topper, helm pad and step cover can be purchased individually or as a three-piece set.
Gamefish Transom Fillet Tables
Ideal for rigging, cleaning fish and prepping chum and bait, these tables attach to the lid of the transom fishbox on the Sea Hunt Gamefish 25 and Gamefish 27 with a single V-Lock mount. The fishbox can still be opened with the table in place, and neither the port side livewell nor the starboard side jumpseat are obstructed.
Attaching and removing the transom fillet table requires no tools; the boat owner simply pulls a single spring-loaded pin.
When the table is removed, the only thing left on the transom is a 3-1/2” x 4” x 3/4” thick aluminum base. Attaching and removing the table requires no tools; the boat owner simply pulls a single spring-loaded pin. Non-marring feet keep the table quiet and secure, even underway.
Transom fillet tables are CNC-machined from White/White Starboard to perfectly match Sea Hunt’s cockpit gelcoat and other Starboard parts on the boat. All fasteners are top-quality stainless steel.
Two versions are available: a standard table with two pliers slots, a knife holder and an engraved ruler, and an upgraded table that adds integrated storage under the cutting surface. Both measure 41” across with a generous 40” x 15-1/2” work surface.
The raised position yields a comfortable working height so anglers don’t have to hunch over to cut bait or clean fish. The upgraded version features slots for two 3600 series waterproof boxes, plus two open cubbies for leader spools, tools, fish rags, etc.

Serving Platter Topper for Transom Tables
For Gamefish buyers who split time between the fishing grounds and the sandbar, a removable topper instantly converts either the standard or upgraded transom fillet table into a serving tray/drink station.
Easily attached with a pair of twist tabs that fit through the pliers slots in the table surface, the topper features six holders for cans, cups, tumblers and bottles of various sizes up to two liters.
The center cutting board/prep area features knife and tool slots as well as a keeper strip to keep items from rolling or sliding off.

Glove Box Retrofit for Overhead Electronics Box
All three Sea Hunt Gamefish models are delivered with an overhead electronics box that typically houses a VHF radio and several rocker switches toward the port side. The black acrylic mounting panel (manufactured by Boat Outfitters) features a removable plate to starboard that offers rigging access but no storage.
In partnership with Sea Hunt, Boat Outfitters has designed a glove box to make use of the space behind the access plate.
Installation is a matter of unscrewing the original plate and screwing the glove box in its place using the same holes and fasteners.
With inside dimensions of roughly 11” wide x 5-1/2” deep x 2-1/2” tall and a locking stainless steel latch, the box is ideal for securing wallets, keys, phones, and other small valuables while on the water.

Note that there are different boxes for the Gamefish 25/27 and Gamefish 30. The Gamefish 25/27 boxes also fit the Ultra 255 and 275, while a third version is available for the Ultra 235 and BX25.
