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
Yes. This cover is custom-patterned specifically for the Scout 240 Dorado T-Top — a dual-console walk-around with hardtop. It wraps the hull below the hardtop while leaving the fiberglass T-Top roof exposed, accounting for the dual consoles, passenger windshield, and walk-around deck geometry.
The cover wraps your hull, gunwales, dual consoles, and walk-around deck below the hardtop frame. The white fiberglass T-Top roof stays fully visible on top. The pattern accounts for the passenger windshield and walk-around gunwales — more complex geometry than a standard center console T-Top cover.
9.25 oz Sunbrella acrylic marine fabric — the industry benchmark for marine covers. It blocks over 98% of UV rays, resists mildew and fading, and breathes to prevent moisture buildup underneath.
Navy, Black, and Charcoal. All are solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic, meaning the color goes all the way through the fiber — not just surface-dyed — for superior fade resistance over years of outdoor exposure.
The 240 Dorado combines 300 HP, 100 gallons of fuel, an 8'6" beam, and the NuV3 triple-stepped hull in a 24'0" dual-console walk-around — delivering genuine offshore range with the walk-around versatility and 11-person capacity that conventional center consoles don't offer. At approximately 3,838 lbs, it carries the mass for a stable, confidence-inspiring offshore ride.
Adjustable straps, quick-release buckles, and shock cord hems make installation a one-person job that takes just a few minutes. No tools required — just drape, position, and cinch.
Yes. The cover is designed to work on dock lifts, boat lifts, and standard mooring configurations. The strap system accommodates lift arms and bunks without interference.

Both share 300 HP, 100-gallon fuel capacity, and an 8'6" beam on a 24'0" hull. The key difference is configuration: the 240 Dorado is a dual-console walk-around with passenger windshield, while the 240 XSF is a crossover sportfish center console. The Dorado prioritizes family comfort and walk-around access; the XSF maximizes open deck fishing space.

Scout 240 Dorado T-Top Boat Cover
The Scout 240 Dorado is a popular 24’0″ dual-console walk-around with an 8’6″ beam, up to 300 HP, 100 gallons of fuel, approximately 3,838 lbs dry weight, and an 11-person capacity — a serious offshore-capable platform that pairs T-Top fishing functionality with the walk-around dual-console layout that makes the Dorado family unique in Scout’s lineup. The 240 Dorado is where the walk-around concept scales to its full potential: 300 HP and 100 gallons of fuel give it the range for genuine offshore fishing runs, while the dual-console configuration with passenger windshield provides weather protection and comfort that conventional center consoles don’t offer. Scout engineers in Summerville, South Carolina, built the 240 Dorado on the NuV3 triple-stepped hull with foam-filled fiberglass construction — the same platform technology that underpins their dedicated offshore sportfish models — proving that walk-around versatility doesn’t require sacrificing performance.
A Perfect Fit T-Top cover for the 240 Dorado protects the dual-console deck layout, passenger windshield, helm electronics, seating areas, and fishing infrastructure below the hardtop from the UV, salt, and weather exposure that offshore-capable boats face between trips. The 240’s combination of 24-foot length, 8’6″ beam, dual consoles, and walk-around deck creates one of the most complex cover geometries in Scout’s lineup — our pattern accounts for the passenger windshield, the walk-around gunwales, and the full T-Top hardtop frame. Choose between solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years), both secured by reinforced stitching, hem cord at the rubrail, and adjustable tie-down straps engineered for the 240 Dorado’s specific hull and console geometry.
Walk-Around Versatility at Offshore Scale
The 240 Dorado is the boat that makes families and anglers stop arguing about what to buy. The walk-around deck provides 360-degree fishing access and easy bow anchoring, the passenger console with windshield keeps forward riders comfortable in rough water, the T-Top provides shade and rod storage overhead, and 300 HP with 100 gallons of fuel delivers the kind of offshore range that supports full-day fishing trips to distant structure. The NuV3 hull handles the open-water conditions that come with that range — the triple-step design keeps cruise efficient, and the 3,838 lb hull provides the mass for a stable, confidence-inspiring offshore ride. Your cover protects this entire dual-purpose platform — the electronics, upholstery, fishing hardware, and walk-around deck that define the 240 Dorado’s unique position in Scout’s lineup.
