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.
*The warranty periods above are provided by the fabric manufacturer and cover the material itself. For details on what’s included in the warranty for your completed cover, please see our warranty page.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's made for the Robalo R227 dual console, also sold as the 227 DC — 21'6" with an 8'6" beam — without a hardtop or tower. Please confirm your model and year when you order so we can check the pattern before we cut.
"Center Console" is the name of our cover style, not a boat type. It means a full cover for a boat with no hard top, running bow to stern and rubrail to rubrail with the consoles, windshield and engine underneath. Your R227 is a dual console, and since it has no hard top, this is the style that fits it.
Fold the bimini down before you install the cover. Robalo also offered a wakeboard/fish tower; this cover isn't patterned around one, so contact us before ordering if your boat has a tower.
The cover runs over the transom and falls as one loose drape over the outboard cowling; there's no fitted engine pocket, and the lower unit stays exposed below the hem. Tilt the engine down so the fabric hangs evenly.
Choose 9oz solution-dyed polyester (Navy or Black) for heavy-duty everyday protection, or premium Sunbrella acrylic (Marine Blue, Black, or Smoke) for maximum UV resistance and longevity.
No. The cover is made to protect your boat while it is parked on its trailer, up on a lift or in storage. Take it off before you tow: trailering with the cover on can damage it and voids the warranty.
Materials and workmanship are covered for 1 year, and the fabric carries its own warranty (5 years on 9oz and 6 years on Sunbrella). Every cover is made to order, so please allow 1–3 weeks; shipping is a $30 flat rate within the continental US.
Pricing: 9oz $1,085.00 · Sunbrella $1,275.00 — your final total appears below as you build your cover.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Robalo 227 DC Center Console Boat Cover — Custom-Fit for the Robalo R227 Dual Console
Robalo builds its saltwater fishing boats at its headquarters plant in Nashville, Georgia, alongside sister brand Chaparral. The R227, also listed as the 227 DC or 227 Dual Console, is Robalo’s 22-foot dual console, built for fishing and family days on the water. Robalo’s spec sheet lists a 21’6″ length, an 8’6″ beam, a 21-degree deadrise, 101 gallons of fuel and a 250 hp maximum, with a dry weight of 3,750 lb with engine; some listings show 102 to 107 gallons and other weights. A walk-through windshield divides the bow seating, which converts to a casting platform, from the cockpit. The starboard helm has a seat with a flip-up bolster and a 20-gallon livewell behind it, the port console holds the head behind a locking door, and there’s back-to-back seating on the port side. Aft, a full transom seat folds flush into the transom wall, and a floor locker holds skis or rods. A bimini was an option. This Center Console cover is patterned for the Robalo R227 without a T-top, and like all of our Robalo boat covers, it’s cut to this hull rather than a generic 22-foot size chart.
How It Fits the Robalo R227
The cover peaks over both consoles and the walk-through windshield and slopes down to the gunwales, so rain runs off instead of pooling. Forward it covers the bow seating to the stem; through the middle it takes in the helm and back-to-back seats, falling to the rubrail along the 8’6″ beam. Aft, it covers the folded transom seat and falls as one loose drape over the outboard cowling, with the lower unit exposed. Close the windshield walk-through and fold down any bimini before you put it on. Installation takes about five minutes: drape it bow to stern, run the hem cord along the rubrail, and cinch the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs. It’s made for storage on a trailer, lift, dry stack, or jet dock — take it off before towing, since trailering with the cover on can damage it and voids the warranty.
Fabric, Warranty & Shipping
Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for heavy-duty everyday protection (5–7 year service life) or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of fade resistance. Both are water-repellent, breathable, mildew-resistant, and double-stitched at the seams. Each cover is backed by our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 5 years on 9oz and 6 years on Sunbrella) and ships for a $30 flat rate within the US — every cover is made to order, so please allow 1–3 weeks. For Robalo’s 20-foot dual console, see our Robalo 207 DC Center Console cover; for the 31-foot dual console with a top, see the Robalo 317 DC T-Top cover.
