# [3-Time Champs, One Bait System: Inside the SeaVee That Dominated 2025](https://blog.wickedwells.com/blog/3-time-champs-one-bait-system-inside-the-seavee-that-dominated-2025)

*Every Wednesday, we sit down with elite owners, captains, and crew to break down what makes them dangerous — the gear, the mindset, and the moments that separate the stage from the sidelines.*

 

This week, we’re locked in with Mark Miller, owner and captain of Living Water, a Mercury-powered 39’ SeaVee that just made history — again.

 

Living Water isn’t new to the top. With wins in 2014, 2020, and now 2025, they’ve secured their place as one of the only 3-time Showdown Crown Champions in series history.

 

**But this year? They didn’t just win — they dominated.**

- Saltwater Showdown Leg 1: Runners-Up + $86K Pick 3 Jackpot
- Leg 2: Saltwater Slam Champions
- Leg 3: Saltwater Showdown Champions
- 2025 Showdown Crown Champs, again

Built for speed. Fished with discipline. And when it came down to the final bite, their bait system delivered.

*“Our 70g Wicked Wells helped keep our speedos in good shape for this afternoon wahoo that sealed the deal on our Showdown win and 3rd overall Showdown crown.”*

— Owner & Captain Mark Miller

 

**Their setup:**

- 2 x 28” round Wicked Wells, mounted just aft of the center console
- Tournament layout optimized for quick access + all-day bait health
- Clean, compact, and purpose-built for a high-output, high-pressure center console program

This isn’t a deck ornament — it’s a system built to protect your bait from sunrise to weigh-in, even when the pace is relentless.

 

Living Water’s results speak for themselves. In a season with no room for failure, their wells ran clean, their baits stayed frisky, and the crew stayed focused.

 

Because championship programs aren’t all 60-foot yachts. Center consoles like Living Water are proving that with the right crew, the right gear, and the right livewell system — you can lead the fleet from any helm.
