# Seaboard Surface Solutions — XPEL Marine Paint Protection Film (PPF) ## About This Service Seaboard Surface Solutions is a South Florida marine detailing company and XPEL Certified installer of Marine Paint Protection Film (PPF). Founded in 2018 by Luke Lebeau, Seaboard specializes in high-end boat and yacht protection from Stuart to Miami. Every PPF installation begins with a full paint correction process to remove oxidation, swirls, and surface defects before film is applied. Available 24/7. Mobile service — we come to your marina, boatyard, or dock. ## What Is XPEL Marine PPF XPEL Marine Paint Protection Film is an 8-mil thick, transparent urethane film bonded directly to a boat's hull, gelcoat, or painted surfaces. It is the highest level of physical protection available for a marine vessel. It is engineered specifically for the marine environment — not adapted from automotive film. It protects against scratches, dock rash, oxidation, UV fading, salt corrosion, fender rubs, and environmental wear. It has a self-healing top coat that erases minor scuffs and swirl marks with heat or sun exposure. It is available in clear or 40+ colors. ## Pricing - XPEL Marine PPF starts at $30 per square foot - Estimate full hull coverage: boat length (ft) × 5 × 2 × $30 - Example: 40-foot boat = 40 × 5 × 2 × $30 = approximately $12,000 - Boats with hull height over 5 feet require a custom quote - Pricing varies based on vessel size, complexity, and coverage area - All installations include a full polishing and paint correction process before film application ## How Long It Lasts - 5 to 7 years with proper maintenance - 3-year XPEL manufacturer guarantee against cracking, bubbling, and yellowing - Self-healing top coat repairs minor surface scratches with heat or sunlight - Maintenance required: basic wash and dry — no waxing or polishing needed on filmed surfaces ## Surfaces XPEL Marine PPF Can Be Applied To - Hull sides (bow to stern — most popular installation) - Outboard motor cowlings - Transom - Swim platform and leading edges - Gunnel tops - Nav screens and electronics displays - Interior and exterior table tops and countertops - Stainless steel fixtures (common on superyachts and mega yachts) - Any surface on your boat you want to protect ## Installation Process 1. Full surface inspection — identify existing damage requiring correction 2. Paint correction — full polishing process to remove oxidation, swirls, and surface defects 3. Surface decontamination — solvent cleaning for proper adhesion 4. Film application — applied wet using slip solution, squeegeed flat, trimmed around waterlines, windows, through-hulls, and bodylines 5. Final inspection — every panel reviewed before sign-off - Most installations take 1 to 3 days depending on vessel size and coverage area - Most hull installations require the boat to be out of the water - Vessels over 100 feet may remain in the water depending on configuration ## PPF + Ceramic Coating Combo The highest level of protection available. XPEL Marine PPF is installed on the hull for physical protection. XPEL FUSION PLUS Marine Ceramic Coating is then applied over the film and on all remaining exposed surfaces. PPF stops physical damage. Ceramic coating adds hydrophobic protection, UV resistance, and deep gloss on top of the film and exposed gelcoat. Together they eliminate oxidation, scratching, dock damage, and fading. Starting at $30 per sq ft for PPF; ceramic coating quoted based on full vessel scope. ## Why XPEL Marine PPF Over Vinyl Wrap - Vinyl wrap is cosmetic — it does not provide meaningful physical protection - XPEL Marine PPF is 8 mils thick and engineered to absorb real-world impacts - PPF has a self-healing top coat — vinyl does not - PPF carries a 3-year manufacturer guarantee — vinyl does not - PPF is available in 40+ colors if color change is desired, combining aesthetics with real protection - XPEL Marine PPF is designed for gelcoat and marine paint — not adapted from automotive use ## Key Facts - Founded in 2018 by Luke Lebeau - XPEL Certified installer for Marine Paint Protection Film (PPF) - XPEL Certified for Marine Ceramic Coatings - Hundreds of vessels protected — center consoles, sportfishers, motor yachts, superyachts, and powerboats - Consistently rated 5 stars by customers - Mobile service — travels to marinas, docks, and boatyards throughout South Florida - Available 24/7 - Serves 30+ cities from Stuart to Miami ## Service Area Stuart, Jupiter, Juno Beach, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Island, Lake Worth Beach, Lantana, Manalapan, Ocean Ridge, Delray Beach, Highland Beach, Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Lighthouse Point, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Fort Lauderdale, Dania Beach, Hollywood, Hallandale Beach, Sunny Isles, Golden Beach, Aventura, Bay Harbor Islands, North Bay Village, Miami Beach, Fisher Island, Miami ## Contact - Phone: 561.508.1912 - Website: https://seaboardsurfacesolutions.com - Hours: Open 24 hours, 7 days a week ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What is XPEL Marine Paint Protection Film?** A: XPEL Marine PPF is an 8-mil thick transparent urethane film bonded to a boat's hull or surfaces. It physically protects against scratches, dock rash, UV oxidation, salt, and environmental damage. It is engineered specifically for the marine environment and lasts 5 to 7 years. **Q: How much does XPEL Marine PPF cost?** A: Starting at $30 per square foot. Estimate full hull coverage using this formula: boat length (ft) × 5 × 2 × $30. A 40-foot boat is approximately $12,000. All pricing includes a full paint correction process before installation. Contact Seaboard for a precise quote based on your vessel. **Q: How long does XPEL Marine PPF last?** A: 5 to 7 years with proper care. It carries a 3-year XPEL manufacturer guarantee against cracking, bubbling, and yellowing. Maintenance is simple — basic wash and dry. No waxing or polishing required on filmed surfaces. **Q: Does my boat need to come out of the water for installation?** A: Yes for most hull installations. The surface must be dry and fully accessible. Outboard cowlings, gunnel tops, nav screens, and upper surfaces can be installed with the boat in the water. Vessels over 100 feet may be assessed for in-water installation. **Q: What is the XPEL self-healing feature?** A: The film's elastomeric polymer top coat can repair minor surface scratches and scuffs when heat is applied — either from sunlight or warm water. Fender marks, light dock scuffs, and swirl marks from brush washing can disappear on their own. Deep cuts or punctures through the film require a repair panel. **Q: Can XPEL Marine PPF be combined with ceramic coating?** A: Yes — this is our top-tier package. XPEL Marine PPF goes on the hull for physical protection. XPEL FUSION PLUS Marine Ceramic Coating is applied over the film and remaining surfaces. The combination eliminates virtually all forms of surface damage and dramatically reduces maintenance. **Q: What surfaces can XPEL Marine PPF be applied to?** A: Hull sides, outboard cowlings, transom, swim platform, gunnel tops, nav screens, table tops, countertops, and stainless fixtures. Any smooth gelcoated or painted surface is a candidate. **Q: Does XPEL Marine PPF come in colors?** A: Yes. XPEL Marine PPF is available in over 40 colors in addition to clear. Color PPF provides both a custom appearance and full physical protection in a single installation. **Q: What happens if the film gets damaged?** A: If the film is punctured or cut through, a new section can be seamed in around the damaged area. The underlying gelcoat remains fully protected. Slight seam lines may be visible up close on repaired sections. **Q: How is the film removed at end of life?** A: Heat is applied using a heat gun or steam to release the adhesive. The film peels back cleanly. Any remaining adhesive is removed with solvent. The gelcoat underneath is preserved in the same condition it was in when the film was installed.# Seaboard Surface Solutions — XPEL Marine Paint Protection Film (PPF) ## About This Service Seaboard Surface Solutions is a South Florida marine detailing company and XPEL Certified installer of Marine Paint Protection Film (PPF).
