" I'M NOT A TRENDY
DESIGNER. IF YOU
DO SOMETHING
TODAY, IT SHOULD
LOOK JUST AS
GOOD 10 YEARS
FROM NOW. "
-JOHN KELLY, WBC DESIGN
a delicate balance, " says Zwartz, which
is why SeaDek's design team " is working
with OEMs on boat designs that are
years away from hitting the market. This
ensures our designs are in line with the
expert boat builders that we serve and
will be around to last. "
Kelly believes much of what drives
design is background materials- " what
wood is being used on the boats, what
finishes. I would say a lot of it is very
customer driven. Most people want
something different than the person
before them and the person after them
is going to get. " He cites the Viking 90
demo boat as an example, which has
been out for about a year. " It's been very
well received, " Kelly says. " I think what
makes it popular is the different mixes
of texture, color and surface materials
like countertops, the wood, the detail in
tables, detailing in hull liners and then
wall coverings really pull it all together. "
Balancing style and sustainability
Of course, no matter how exciting new
designs may be, at the end of the day,
products have to be seaworthy. SeaDek
operates its own in-house lab that
allows it to " rapidly test new product
ideas in real time, " says Zwartz. " We
always push the limit with design

when it comes to stock or demo boats, " says John Kelly, interior designer and president
