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 262 CX is the crossover (dual-console) version of the 262 platform. While sharing the same 26'5" length, 9'3" beam, and SPI hull, the CX adds a passenger-side console with windshield, bow seating lounge, and family-oriented amenities. It weighs ~1,500 lbs less than the 262CC and features a 72 sq ft cockpit optimized for both fishing and cruising.
Yes. The 262 CX has a completely different deck layout — dual consoles, windshield, bow seating area, and a different cockpit footprint. Our pattern for the CX is engineered specifically for this crossover layout, not adapted from the center console version. Every contour of the dual-console design is accounted for.
Absolutely. The T-Top cover wraps over the passenger-side console and windshield, protecting the glass from UV damage, salt etching, and mineral deposits. This extends the life of any tinting, anti-glare coatings, and the windshield seal gaskets.
The CX actually carries 8 more gallons (163 vs 155) than the standard 262CC, likely due to the different interior configuration allowing slightly larger tank placement. This gives the CX excellent offshore range for a crossover — enough for all-day family fishing trips with fuel reserves.
Yes, significantly — ~5,000 lbs dry versus ~6,500 lbs for the standard 262CC. The CX's lighter weight comes from its different interior configuration and construction approach. This lighter weight and the dual 500 HP max power make the CX notably quicker and more fuel-efficient.
The 72 sq ft cockpit is generous for a dual-console boat, though smaller than a dedicated center console's deck space. EdgeWater designed the CX cockpit to retain key fishing features — insulated fish box, baitwell, and rod storage — while adding the comfort amenities that make it a true crossover.
Yes. Like the standard 262, the CX supports dual outboards up to 500 HP total. Our cover extends past the transom to wrap both engine cowlings, with the fabric pattern specifically designed for the CX's transom geometry and engine spacing.
The cover extends forward to envelop the entire bow seating area, protecting all vinyl cushions, storage compartments, and stainless hardware from UV, salt, and weather. This eliminates the need for separate bow cushion covers.
The SPI hull's foam-filled, unsinkable construction provides an extra layer of safety for family passengers — especially children. Even if the hull is compromised, the foam core maintains positive buoyancy. Combined with a T-Top cover that protects the boat between family outings, the CX maintains its safety and appearance for years.
Perfect Fit offers standard marine colors including Navy, Black, and Charcoal. These classic colors complement any EdgeWater gel coat color and provide a clean, professional appearance on the CX's dual-console profile.
EdgeWater 262 CX T-Top Boat Cover
The EdgeWater 262 CX takes the 262 platform and reimagines it as a crossover — a 26’5″ dual-console boat with a 9’3″ beam, 72 sq ft cockpit, and dual outboard power up to 500 HP. The CX designation means this EdgeWater combines the fishing hardware serious anglers demand (insulated fish box, baitwell, rod storage) with the family amenities that make all-day outings comfortable for everyone aboard: passenger console with windshield, deep bow lounge seating, and a layout that transitions from dawn fishing to afternoon cruising without compromise.
Our custom T-Top cover is patterned specifically for the 262 CX’s dual-console layout — not adapted from the standard center console version. The solution-dyed marine fabric wraps both consoles, windshield, bow seating, cockpit, fish box, and dual outboard engines in UV-resistant, salt-proof protection. Reinforced stitching and adjustable tie-downs secure the cover to the CX’s 9’3″ beam rubrail, delivering a fitted look that protects every surface between trips.
Crossover Versatility, Custom Protection
The 262 CX’s dual-purpose layout creates more surfaces to protect than a standard center console: vinyl bow cushions, passenger console instrumentation, windshield glass, portside seating, and the full cockpit complement of fishing hardware. At ~5,000 lbs dry, the CX is notably lighter than the standard 262CC, making it quicker and more fuel-efficient with the same 500 HP max power and 163-gallon fuel capacity. Our cover accounts for every CX-specific contour, ensuring the dual consoles, windshield profile, and bow lounge are completely protected.
