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.

Southport 292 T-Top Boat Cover — Second-Generation Bluewater Fortress
The Southport 292 is the second-generation evolution of the award-winning 29 — a hull that won “Best Powerboat Under 30’” at the Newport International Boat Show and redefined what a sub-30-foot center console could accomplish offshore. At 28’6” with a 9’6” beam, up to 600 HP on twin Yamaha outboards, 232 gallons of fuel, and approximately 7,200 lbs of Hunt-designed variable deep-V hull, the 292 delivers volume and usable space comparable to 30-32 foot boats while maintaining Southport’s signature dry, responsive ride. Protecting that kind of engineering investment between bluewater runs starts with a cover built to the same standard — and Perfect Fit Boat Covers delivers custom-fitted T-Top protection pattern-cut to every contour of the 292’s redesigned console, hardtop, and cockpit.
Precision Fit for the 292’s Dual-Purpose Layout
Available in Tournament Edition and Family Edition configurations, the Southport 292 packs either a fishing-foremost cockpit with dedicated tournament features or plush forward seating with an optional entertainment center — and in both cases, the cover fits. The enhanced hardtop with integrated lighting, speaker mounts, and optional retractable sunshades gets reinforced cutouts around each T-Top leg while the pattern drapes over the redesigned console, improved leaning post, and updated ring deck. Installation takes under five minutes, and the cover trailers securely at highway speed. Whether your 292 is rigged for tournament duty or weekend cruising, the same precision fit protects every surface from the elements while you plan your next run to the Southport 28’s offshore grounds.
Protection Matching Southport’s Vacuum-Infused Standard
Southport builds the 292 in a 140,000-square-foot Maine facility using vacuum infusion to produce 100% void-free laminate — an aerospace-grade process that puts dramatically more glass fiber where it matters than conventional hand-layup. Your cover should meet that standard. Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for 5-7 years of UV-resistant, water-repellent, mildew-resistant protection, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8-10 years of durability through the harshest offshore conditions. Double-stitched seams, a hem cord at the rubrail, and adjustable tie-down straps ensure a secure, rattle-free fit. Every 292 cover ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty and free standard shipping — because a boat designed to fish 50 miles offshore deserves protection that won’t quit on the dock, much like the Southport 27 that shares its Hunt heritage.
