Additional information
Choose Your Cover Fabric
7 oz. Polyester — Our entry-level marine cover fabric, woven from 100% polyester fiber at a 7 oz. per linear yard weight. This lighter option keeps the cover manageable for solo handling while still delivering reliable protection against sun, rain, and debris. Backed by a 3-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black.
9 oz. Polyester — Step up to our heavy-duty polyester, engineered at 9 oz. per linear yard for boats that face tougher conditions or extended outdoor storage. The denser weave adds an extra layer of defense against abrasion and weather without adding unnecessary bulk. Protected by a 5-year fabric warranty. Ships in Navy or Black.
Sunbrella® — For boaters who want the best, our Sunbrella covers use 100% solution-dyed acrylic — the same fabric trusted by marine professionals worldwide. Naturally resistant to fading, mold, and water damage, Sunbrella holds its color and integrity season after season. Covered by a 6-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black, Smoke, or Marine Blue.
Both polyester options feature solution-dyed construction, where pigment is infused into each fiber during production rather than applied to the surface afterward. This process locks color deep into the material, preventing any dye transfer to your boat’s gel coat or finish. The result is a cover that stays vibrant without bleeding or rubbing off. Our polyester is also designed to breathe — it allows moisture trapped underneath to vent out naturally, reducing the risk of mildew and keeping your boat dry. The fabric holds its form without sagging or stretching over time, stays lightweight enough for one person to handle, and stands up to prolonged UV exposure and harsh marine weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — this cover is pattern-cut specifically for the Scout 240 XSF's 24'0" hull and 8'6" beam, including the Express Sportfish crossover deck layout with bow seating, center console, and deep cockpit. The fabric wraps the hull below the T-Top hardtop with reinforced cutouts for the T-Top support legs.
Absolutely. The cover fully encloses the helm station, electronics, bow seating, cockpit seating, leaning post, and all deck-level components. Salt spray, UV radiation, rain, and debris are completely blocked — protecting every surface that the 240 XSF's 11-person capacity puts to regular use.
Yes. At approximately 3,655 pounds dry weight, the 240 XSF is very trailerable for a 24-foot boat. The cover features double-stitched seams and a reinforced hem cord rated for highway speeds, with adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs that keep it tight during transport.
Two options: 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric (5-7 years, in Navy, Black, or Charcoal) and premium Sunbrella acrylic (8-10 years, expanded colors). Both are water-repellent, UV-resistant, and mildew-resistant — built for the salt-air environment the NuV3 hull was designed to handle.
Yes — the white fiberglass T-Top hardtop roof remains fully visible on top. The cover wraps the hull below the hardtop from bow to transom, protecting the cockpit, console, all seating, and deck hardware. The T-Top support legs pass through reinforced cutouts in the fabric.
The cover is designed for the 240 XSF's single-engine configuration (up to 300 HP max). The fabric extends aft to cover the transom area while the outboard's lower unit remains visible below the fabric — no separate engine cover needed.
Under five minutes for one person. Drape the cover from bow to stern, align the T-Top leg cutouts, and secure the strap-and-buckle tie-downs at the rubrail. The 8'6" beam is manageable for solo installation.
Water-resistant with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. The breathable fabric prevents trapped moisture and mildew from building up underneath the cover — more important for long-term boat protection than a waterproof barrier that traps condensation against your gelcoat and upholstery.
A 2-year manufacturer warranty covers materials and workmanship. The 9oz fabric is rated for 5-7 years and Sunbrella for 8-10 years of useful life under normal marine conditions.
Yes — this cover fits all standard-production Scout 240 XSF models equipped with a factory T-Top. The NuV3 hull dimensions and XSF crossover deck layout have been consistent across production years.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Scout 240 XSF T-Top Boat Cover
The Scout 240 XSF is the flagship of Scout’s Express Sportfish family — a full 24’0″ crossover platform with an 8’6″ beam, 20-degree deadrise, 300 HP max, 100 gallons of fuel, and an 11-person capacity that makes it the most versatile boat in the XSF lineup. At approximately 3,655 lbs dry weight, the 240 XSF carries the mass and hull depth for a genuinely confident offshore ride while maintaining the crossover versatility that defines the XSF philosophy — fishing, cruising, watersports, and entertaining on a single platform. Scout engineers in Summerville, South Carolina, designed the 240 XSF as the model that answers every “what if” question: what if you want to run the Gulf Stream AND take the family to a sandbar? What if you need tournament-grade fishing infrastructure AND comfortable guest seating? The 240 XSF does both without compromise, and the NuV3 triple-stepped hull keeps it efficient at cruise despite the expanded deck and capacity.
A Perfect Fit T-Top cover for the 240 XSF protects the largest and most feature-rich deck in the Express Sportfish family. The 240’s combination of 24-foot length, 8’6″ beam, and 11-person capacity means more equipment, more seating, more electronics, and more exposed gel coat than any other XSF model — all of it at risk from the relentless UV, salt, and weather that coastal boats face. Choose between solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years), both secured by reinforced stitching, hem cord at the rubrail, and adjustable tie-down straps engineered for the 240 XSF’s specific hull contours. The cover wraps below the T-Top hardtop, leaving the fiberglass roof exposed while delivering comprehensive protection across the full 24’0″ platform.
The XSF Flagship — Nothing Left Out
The 240 XSF represents the pinnacle of Scout’s crossover philosophy. With 300 HP, 100 gallons of fuel, 20-degree deadrise, and an 11-person capacity, it delivers offshore fishing capability, family cruising comfort, and watersports performance without asking you to choose. The NuV3 hull’s triple-step design maintains fuel efficiency at cruise despite the 240’s size, and the foam-filled construction provides unsinkable flotation for the entire 3,655 lb platform. Your cover protects the flagship investment — premium electronics, extensive seating, live wells, rod systems, and the expansive gel coat that defines the 240 XSF’s finish quality.
