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 Mako 284 cover is built from 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric rated for five to seven years of UV and weather resistance. A 7oz lighter option and a premium Sunbrella acrylic upgrade (eight to ten years) are also available. Solution-dyed construction fuses pigment into the fiber during production, preventing any dye transfer to your 284’s gel coat.
Yes. The Mako 284 cover is pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts designed to wrap around the fiberglass hardtop supports. The cover sits under the hardtop, protecting the entire cockpit, console, bait station, and gunwales while leaving the hardtop roof exposed.
Installation takes under five minutes solo. Drape the cover from bow to stern, route the fabric through the reinforced hardtop cutouts, and lock it down with the adjustable tie-down straps and hem cord at the rubrail. No tools required.
Yes. The Mako 284 cover features reinforced stress points engineered for highway-speed trailering. The strap-and-buckle system combined with the rubrail hem cord prevents any flapping or shifting during transport.
Absolutely. The cover shields your Mako 284’s helm electronics, upholstery, 50-gallon livewell, twin 290-quart fish boxes, and bait station from UV damage, rain, salt spray, pollen, and bird droppings. Breathable fabric prevents condensation underneath.
Every Mako 284 cover includes a 2-year manufacturer warranty on materials and workmanship. The fabric carries its own manufacturer durability rating — five to seven years for 9oz solution-dyed and eight to ten years for Sunbrella acrylic.
The cover is water-resistant with a DWR (durable water repellent) treatment that causes rain and spray to bead off. It is breathable by design so trapped moisture underneath escapes naturally, preventing mildew growth and keeping your Mako 284’s cockpit dry.
Yes. The cover fits all standard-production Mako 284 CC model years with a factory hardtop or T-Top. If your boat has aftermarket modifications that alter its profile, call 843-760-6101 to verify fitment.

Mako 284 T-Top Boat Cover — Flagship Offshore Protection
The Mako 284 CC is the flagship of Mako’s offshore lineup — a 28’4” center console with a 9’10” beam, a 21-degree deadrise hull with aggressive lifting strakes, and power ratings up to 700 horsepower across twin outboards. At roughly 7,270 pounds dry with 228 gallons of fuel capacity, this platform is engineered for extended offshore campaigns where sea conditions separate serious boats from everything else. Twin 290-quart insulated fish boxes, a 50-gallon livewell with freshwater sink at the bait station, and a 6-foot head compartment make the 284 as comfortable as it is capable. A custom-fitted T-Top boat cover from Perfect Fit Boat Covers shields this flagship investment from the elements.
Tailored to the 284’s Tournament Command Center
Our cover is pattern-cut to the Mako 284’s nearly 10-foot beam and 28’4” hull, wrapping under the fiberglass hardtop and around the wide console, bait station, twin fish boxes, and transom livewell. Reinforced cutouts seat cleanly against the hardtop supports without excess material, and adjustable tie-down straps with a hem cord at the rubrail lock the cover tight. One person can install the cover in under five minutes — drape, feed through the hardtop cutouts, strap, and buckle. Reinforced stress points handle highway-speed trailering, and at approximately 21 inches of draft the 284 uses standard deep-water ramps. For a cover on the classic predecessor, explore the Mako 171 center console cover built with the same quality for a compact inshore platform.
Protection Worthy of a Flagship
Select our 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for five to seven years of proven UV and weather defense, or step up to Sunbrella acrylic for eight to ten years of premium performance. Both fabrics are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and breathable — rain beads off while trapped moisture escapes from underneath. Solution-dyed construction locks pigment into the fiber so there is zero dye transfer to your 284’s gel coat or composite finish. Double-stitched seams and a 2-year manufacturer warranty back every cover. The 100% composite hull-and-deck construction on the 284 deserves nothing less, and owners of other Mako offshore models can check the full Mako boat cover collection for the same craftsmanship across every model.
