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 Sea Hunt 177 measures 17 feet 7 inches long with a 7-foot 10-inch beam — making it one of the most compact center consoles in the Sea Hunt lineup. Standard universal covers won't properly fit the 177's specific Carolina Flare hull design and compact console layout. Our cover is custom-patterned to the 177's exact dimensions, sitting low and sleek against the hull without excess fabric that catches wind or pools water.
Yes. The Sea Hunt 177 accepts engines up to 135 horsepower, with the Yamaha F115 being the standard configuration. Our cover extends past the transom to fully enclose the outboard, protecting it from UV damage, salt corrosion, and weather exposure during storage. The engine pocket is tailored to accommodate the range of compatible outboards without excess material.
The cover wraps over and fully protects all of the Sea Hunt 177's key features: the center console with built-in 10-gallon cooler, captain's helm chair, rear pop-up jump seats, and the 15-gallon aerated livewell. These components contain electronics, seals, and upholstery that degrade quickly when exposed to prolonged UV and weather. Our Sunbrella fabric provides complete protection while remaining breathable to prevent trapped moisture.
Yes. The Sea Hunt 177's compact size — just 17 feet 7 inches with a 7-foot 10-inch beam and 1,650 lbs dry weight — makes it one of the easiest boats to cover single-handedly. The cover sits low and sleek over the small center console. Simply drape it from bow to stern, adjust over the console and outboard, and secure the hem cord and snap fasteners along the gunwales. Most owners complete the process in under 10 minutes.
Absolutely. The Sea Hunt 177 is a popular trailerable skiff, and our cover is built to handle highway transport. The snap fasteners and hem cord system keep the cover tight against the 7-foot 10-inch beam, while reinforced stress points resist wind load at speed. The compact hull profile means less wind resistance than larger boats. Always verify all fastening points are secure before trailering.
The Sea Hunt 177 features a fiberglass modified-vee hull with distinctive Carolina Flare and 16-degree deadrise. The Carolina Flare bow design deflects spray outward and gives the hull a wider, flared profile at the bow compared to standard center consoles. Our cover is specifically patterned to follow this flared bow geometry, ensuring a proper fit from the flared entry back to the compact transom — no generic cover accounts for this hull-specific shape.
The Sea Hunt 177 cover is available in navy blue, black, and charcoal gray — all using genuine Sunbrella marine-grade solution-dyed acrylic fabric. Solution-dyed means color is locked into every fiber during manufacturing, not applied as a surface treatment. This makes the fabric highly resistant to UV fading, saltwater exposure, mildew, and staining. The 29-gallon fuel capacity means this boat lives near the water — our fabric is built for that constant marine environment.
Sea Hunt 177 Center Console Boat Cover – Compact Protection for a Compact Fishing Skiff
Protect your Sea Hunt 177 with a custom-fitted center console mooring cover built for this nimble 17-foot 7-inch fishing skiff. The 177 features a 7-foot 10-inch beam, a modified-vee hull with Carolina Flare and 16-degree deadrise, and a compact layout that packs serious fishing capability into a trailer-friendly package. Our cover wraps over the center console, captain’s helm chair, and Yamaha outboard (up to 135HP) at the transom.
Despite its compact size, the 177 comes loaded — a 15-gallon aerated livewell, 10-gallon built-in console cooler, large fish boxes, lockable console storage, rear pop-up jump seats, Teleflex Baystar hydraulic steering, and split striper bow rails. All of this hardware is exposed to the elements between trips. Our marine-grade canvas cover blocks UV rays that crack vinyl, fade gelcoat, and degrade the rubber gaskets on your electronics. The cover also keeps out rain, bird droppings, tree sap, and pollen.
At 1,650 lbs dry with a 29-gallon fuel tank, the 177 is one of the easiest boats to tow and store. Our cover sits low and sleek on the compact hull, making it ideal for tight garages, residential driveways, and single-axle aluminum trailers. Snap fasteners and a hem cord secure the cover for a rattle-free fit at highway speeds. Whether you fish freshwater lakes or saltwater bays, this cover keeps your 177 ready for the next outing. Available in navy, black, and charcoal gray.
