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
The BlackJack 256 center console cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric (rated 5-7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (rated 8-10 years). Both fabrics are UV-resistant and mildew-resistant.
Yes. The cover is pattern-cut to the 256's exact center console dimensions, wrapping the helm station, electronics, and surrounding cockpit area with a precision fit that accounts for the oversized console and leaning post.
Installation takes under 5 minutes. Drape the cover over the 256's cockpit, and secure the adjustable strap-and-buckle system along the rubrail. One person can handle it.
No — please remove the cover before towing your BlackJack 256. 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.
Yes. The cover provides a complete barrier over the 256's cockpit, shielding the console electronics, gauges, upholstery, livewells, and rod storage from UV rays, rain, dust, salt spray, and bird droppings.
Your BlackJack 256 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 256 center console cover is water-resistant with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. It sheds rain and spray while remaining breathable to prevent mold and mildew buildup underneath.
Yes. The cover fits all standard production BlackJack 256 models, including both the 256 Bay and 256 Coastal variants. K2 Marine has maintained consistent hull dimensions across the lineup.
The BlackJack 256 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 BlackJack 256 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.

BlackJack 256 Center Console Boat Cover — Crossover Bay Boat, Complete Cockpit Armor
The BlackJack 256 measures 25 feet 6 inches overall with an 8-foot 6-inch beam, approximately 2,900 pounds dry weight, and accepts up to 450 horsepower. Built by K2 Marine in Knoxville, Arkansas, the 256 sits at the top of the Blackjack lineup as a crossover bay boat that runs open water and backwater flats with equal capability. The Kenner family’s 70-plus years of boat-building expertise show in the 256’s hand-laid fiberglass hull with 100-percent composite construction, no wood anywhere in the structure, and storage for up to 20 rods. With 80 gallons of fuel, the 256 has the range to chase redfish in the marsh at dawn and run offshore reefs by afternoon. A custom-fitted center console cover from Perfect Fit wraps the entire cockpit in full-enclosure protection, and a center console curtain adds versatile on-water weather shielding during those shoulder-season runs.
Tailored to the 256’s Tournament-Grade Deck
Pattern-cut to the 256’s exact hull dimensions, this center console cover accounts for the oversized console, leaning post with integrated cooler, rod holders, forward sideboxes, and livewells without excess material. The cover drapes over the cockpit and engine, creating a single tent-like shape that peaks at the console and slopes smoothly to the rubrail on all sides — the outboard is completely enclosed inside. Installation takes under five minutes: drape, secure the adjustable strap-and-buckle system at the rubrail, and the 256 is protected. The cover is built with reinforced seams and tie-downs. Remove the cover before towing — it’s designed for storage, not highway travel. For T-Top coverage that leaves the hardtop exposed, the BlackJack 256 T-Top cover fits the same hull with equal precision.
Protection Built for Saltwater Duty
Choose from 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric rated for 5 to 7 years of weather resistance or premium Sunbrella acrylic engineered for 8 to 10 years. Both options are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and double-stitched at every seam. Our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 3–6 years on the fabric) backs the construction. For full-enclosure coverage on the smaller Blackjack platform, the BlackJack 224 center console cover delivers the same quality on the nimble 23-foot hull.
