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 standard cover uses 9oz solution-dyed marine polyester that delivers 5-7 years of UV and weather protection. We also offer a 7oz option for lighter-duty use and a premium Sunbrella acrylic upgrade rated for 8-10 years of superior durability and color retention.
Yes. The cover is pattern-cut specifically for the S 248's oversized factory T-Top frame with reinforced cutouts around each leg. It drapes from the hardtop and secures beneath the gunwales for complete coverage of the center console, in-floor fishboxes, Yeti cooler station, and cockpit area.
Installation takes under five minutes with no tools required. Drape the cover over the T-Top frame, align the reinforced cutouts around the legs, and secure the adjustable strap-and-buckle system beneath the gunwales. One person can complete the entire process.
No — please remove the cover before towing your Pursuit 248 S. Our covers are not designed to be trailered: towing with the cover on can cause severe damage to the cover and voids the warranty. The cover is designed for storage only — on a trailer, boat lift, dry stack, or jet dock — and comes off in minutes at the ramp.
Absolutely. The cover creates a complete barrier over the helm console with dual Garmin display capability, all cockpit surfaces, in-floor fishboxes, and premium upholstery. It blocks UV rays, repels rain, and prevents salt air from corroding sensitive electronics and fading interior materials.
Your Pursuit 248 S cover is backed by our manufacturer's warranty for the original purchaser. Materials and workmanship — stitching, straps, buckles, zippers, and other hardware — are covered for 1 year from the purchase date. Fabric is covered for 3 years on 7oz, 5 years on black or navy 9oz, and 6 years on Sunbrella. Covered defects are repaired or replaced after you contact us for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. The warranty does not cover improper use, accident or negligence, unauthorized modifications, improper care, mold or mildew, incorrectly placed orders, theft or loss, or acts of God — and traveling with the cover on or using it in the water voids the warranty. See our Warranty page for full details.
The cover is water-resistant with a durable DWR (durable water repellent) finish that causes rain to bead and roll off. It is intentionally breathable rather than fully waterproof to prevent moisture and mildew buildup underneath the cover.
Yes. The cover fits all standard production model years of the Pursuit S 248 equipped with the factory T-Top. If your boat has aftermarket modifications that significantly alter the profile, contact us for a fit consultation.
The Pursuit 248 S cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed polyester in Navy or Black, 7oz polyester in Black, or premium Sunbrella acrylic in Marine Blue, Black, or Smoke. Choose your fabric and color in the order options above.
Shipping is a $30 flat rate per cover within the continental United States. Because every cover is custom-made to order, please allow 1–3 weeks for your Pursuit 248 S cover to be made and shipped — you'll receive tracking information as soon as it leaves our facility.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Pursuit 248 S T-Top Boat Cover — Sport-Class Performance Protection
The Pursuit S 248 is a 25’8” sport center console that redefines what a mid-size fishing boat can be — 6,050 pounds of vacuum-infused fiberglass carrying up to 350 HP on a single Yamaha outboard, with a 21-degree deadrise hull, 120 gallons of fuel, and an oversized hardtop that shades the entire helm and cockpit area. Built in Fort Pierce, Florida by the only marine manufacturer to earn the Customer Satisfaction Award every year since 2001, the S 248 includes in-floor fishboxes, an integrated 45-quart Yeti cooler, and a 24-gallon recirculating livewell. Our custom-fitted T-Top cover protects this premium platform from the hardtop frame down, blocking UV damage and salt-air corrosion season after season. Explore our boat shade kits for additional sun protection options.
Tailored to the S 248’s Sport-Class Layout
This cover wraps precisely around the S 248’s oversized T-Top hardtop legs and center console, accounting for the 8’6” beam, the in-floor fishboxes, integrated Yeti cooler station, 24-gallon recirculating livewell, and the full helm electronics array with dual Garmin display capability. The reinforced pattern follows the exact hull profile from bow pulpit to transom with cutouts around each T-Top leg while leaving the white fiberglass hardtop fully exposed. Installation takes under five minutes solo. Remove the cover before towing — it’s designed for storage, not travel. For the legacy 24-footer in the Pursuit lineup, see the Pursuit 2470 T-Top cover.
Protection That Matches Pursuit Quality
The S 248 represents Pursuit’s commitment to blending luxury finishes with serious fishing capability, and our covers deliver protection worthy of both. Choose from 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric rated for 5–7 years of UV and weather resistance, or upgrade to premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of superior durability and color retention. Both fabrics are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and breathable to prevent moisture buildup that can damage the S 248’s premium upholstery and electronics. Double-stitched seams and reinforced stress points handle the demands of year-round outdoor storage. Every cover is backed by our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 3–6 years on the fabric) and ships for a $30 flat rate.
