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 patterned for the Robalo R247 dual console: the 24' boat with an 8'9" beam, a walk-through windshield and a hardtop. It doesn't fit the larger R257, which has its own page, so please confirm your model and year and which top you have when you order so we can check the pattern before we cut.
T-Top is the name of our cover style for any boat with a hard top, whether it's a center console T-top, a hardtop or an arch frame. The cover fits up under your R247's hardtop, wraps its frame legs and drapes over the consoles, seating and engines, leaving the roof exposed. Boats without a hard top use our Center Console style instead, a full cover from bow to stern.
No. This pattern is made to fit up under the hardtop. Earlier R247s could be ordered with a Bimini top instead, and a boat set up that way needs a different cover, so tell us which top your boat has before you order.
The R247 was offered with a single outboard or twins. Either way, the cover runs over the transom and falls as one loose drape over the engine cowling(s); there are no fitted engine pockets, and the lower units stay exposed below the hem. Tilt the engines down so the fabric hangs evenly. Tell us whether you have one engine or two when you order.
Choose 9oz solution-dyed polyester (Navy or Black) for heavy-duty everyday protection, 7oz polyester (Black) for budget-friendly coverage, 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 (3 years on 7oz, 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: 7oz $1,700.00 · 9oz $1,925.00 · Sunbrella $2,285.00 — 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 247 R T-Top Boat Cover — Custom-Fit for the Robalo R247 Dual Console
Robalo Boats builds its boats in Nashville, Georgia. The R247 is Robalo’s 24-foot dual console, a family boat with fishing gear: wraparound bow seating, a walk-through windshield with a bow door, and twin consoles with an enclosed head behind a locking door on the port side. Robalo lists a 24′ length, an 8’9″ beam, 22 degrees of deadrise and about 5,000 lb dry with engines, with up to 400 hp: a single 300 or twin 150s or 200s. Fuel is 135 gallons on earlier spec sheets and 120 gallons on later ones. The bow has a casting deck with 55 gallons of insulated storage and an optional filler cushion; aft there’s a 19-gallon livewell, a full transom seat that folds flush into the transom wall, and a walk-through transom door. Earlier boats listed the powder-coated hardtop as an option alongside a Bimini top; later boats list the hardtop as standard. This T-Top cover is patterned for the R247 with its hardtop, and like all of our Robalo boat covers, it’s cut to this hull rather than a generic 24-foot size chart.
How It Fits the R247
The cover runs up to the underside of the hardtop and wraps its frame legs, so the roof stays exposed. Below it, the cover takes in both consoles and the walk-through windshield, then runs forward over the bow seating to the stem, falling to the rubrail along the 8’9″ beam. Aft, it covers the cockpit and the folded transom seat and falls as one loose drape over the outboard or twin outboards, with the lower units exposed. Fold the transom seat into the transom wall and remove the bow table and filler cushion first. 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.
Not the Same as the R257
The R257 is Robalo’s bigger dual console: 25’3″ long with a 9’2″ beam and a different hardtop frame, so the two boats use different patterns. If you aren’t sure which you own, check the model name on your registration or hull paperwork.
Fabric, Warranty & Shipping
Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for heavy-duty everyday protection (5–7 year service life), a lighter 7oz fabric for budget-friendly coverage, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of fade resistance. Every option is 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 3–6 years on the fabric) and ships for a $30 flat rate within the US — every cover is made to order, so please allow 1–3 weeks. For the 25-foot dual console, see our Robalo 257 R T-Top cover; for a bigger Robalo dual console, see the Robalo 317 DC T-Top cover.
