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
The 275 DC was Grady White's original dual-console model in this size range, produced from 2008 to 2015. The Freedom 275 succeeded it starting in 2016 with updated styling, revised hull features, and the Freedom series naming convention. While they share similar dimensions, Perfect Fit manufactures separate custom patterns because console positioning, hardware layout, and hull details differ between the two generations.
The DC designation stands for "Dual Console"—helm and passenger consoles positioned on opposite sides with a walk-through center. This layout creates a protected cockpit area, provides an enclosed head compartment in the passenger console, and offers dedicated seating positions that center consoles lack. The design was ahead of its time and established the template that the Freedom series refined.
Yes. The 187-gallon capacity provides 300+ miles of offshore range with twin outboards at cruise speed. This was a strong selling point of the 275 DC—enough fuel for aggressive offshore day trips 50+ nautical miles out with comfortable reserves. Many modern dual consoles in this size range carry less fuel.
The 275 DC accommodates twin outboards up to 250 HP each (500 HP total). Twin Yamaha F150s provide reliable, efficient power for coastal cruising, while twin F200s or F250s deliver stronger offshore performance. The 187-gallon fuel capacity pairs well with modern four-stroke engines for excellent range.
The 275 DC's enclosed head was well-designed for its era—lockable compartment with marine head, holding tank, and ventilation built into the passenger console. While the Freedom 275 updated the head with more refined finishes, the DC's head compartment remains practical and fully functional. Perfect Fit's cover accounts for head plumbing vents.
Absolutely. The SeaV² hull construction and solid build quality make the 275 DC an excellent repower candidate. Modern twin Yamaha four-strokes provide better fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and quieter operation than the original engine options. Combined with updated electronics and a fresh Perfect Fit cover, a repowered 275 DC delivers years of continued service.
The 19° deadrise provides confident rough-water handling in 4–5 foot seas, while the 5,400-lb displacement and 8'6" beam ensure stability at rest for drift fishing. The deep-V entry with progressive deadrise balances offshore ride quality with stability—a hallmark of Grady White's hull design philosophy.
The 275 DC delivers approximately 55 square feet of usable cockpit space with the dual-console layout. The walk-through center design maintains full access between bow and stern, while rod holders, fishbox access, and livewell positioning keep the working area efficient for fishing.
Not at all. Perfect Fit maintains custom patterns for every Grady White model regardless of production status. The 275 DC pattern accounts for the specific console dimensions, hardware positioning, and hull geometry of the 2008–2015 production run. Your cover is manufactured to order with the same quality as current-model covers.
The 285 DC adds length, a wider 9'2" beam, more displacement for improved stability, higher max horsepower, and larger fuel capacity. The 275 DC is the more manageable of the two—lighter, easier to handle in tight marinas, and more efficient on fuel. Choose the 275 DC for coastal fishing and day trips; the 285 DC for extended offshore operations.
Grady White 275 DC T-Top Boat Cover
The Grady White 275 DC is a 27’1″ twin-engine dual console that established Grady White’s reputation for building dual consoles that genuinely fish. Produced from 2008 to 2015 before evolving into the Freedom 275, the 275 DC features the SeaV² hull with 19° deadrise, twin outboards up to 500 HP total, 187 gallons of fuel for 300+ miles of offshore range, enclosed head with marine head and holding tank, approximately 55 square feet of cockpit space, insulated fishbox, livewell, rod holders and storage racks, and the dual-console layout that became the foundation for Grady White’s entire Freedom series.
Your 275 DC deserves a Perfect Fit custom T-Top cover that protects this proven platform for years of continued service. Our cover wraps the full hull below the hardtop, protecting both consoles, enclosed head plumbing, fishbox insulation, livewell, cockpit surfaces, and twin-engine assembly from UV exposure, salt spray, and moisture. Solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years) preserves your boat’s finish, hardware, and upholstery through seasons of offshore fishing or marina storage.
The Original Grady White Dual Console
The 275 DC holds a special place in Grady White’s history as the model that proved dual consoles could deliver serious offshore fishing performance without sacrificing family comfort. The SeaV² hull with 19° deadrise cuts through 4–5 foot seas with confidence, while the dual-console layout with enclosed head, walk-through center access, and protected cockpit set the standard that the Freedom series later perfected. With 187 gallons of fuel and twin-engine reliability, the 275 DC remains a capable offshore platform that many owners continue to fish, cruise, and enjoy years after production ended.
Engineering & Classic DC Precision Fit
Perfect Fit’s cover engineers custom-measure your 275 DC’s specific console dimensions, hardtop supports, head plumbing vents, fishbox drains, livewell ports, and 8’6″ beam to create a pattern that accounts for the DC-generation hull geometry. The reinforced stitching and hem cord secure the cover at the rubrail, while adjustable tie-down straps distribute tension evenly. The aft section extends into a loose, draped pouch that envelops both engines as a single continuous covering without binding.
