Our BlackJack boat covers are custom-patterned for your exact model — built for these premium center-console bay boats. BlackJack is built by K2 Marine — the Kenner family’s shop in Knoxville, Arkansas — known for a dry, smooth ride from a Carolina-flare hull that runs shallow yet handles open water. Because BlackJacks are run with jack plates and T-tops, and the 256 Bay and 256 Coastal are different boats, a generic cover rarely fits right. Ours follows your boat’s exact lines and rig. Every cover is made in the USA from marine-grade, water-repellent fabric.
Every BlackJack cover is custom-patterned to your exact model and rig — 224, 256 Bay, or 256 Coastal, with or without a T-top and accounting for a jack plate — so it fits without flapping or pooling.
Built from marine-grade, UV-resistant fabric, our covers stand up to the sun, salt, and humidity BlackJacks run in — resisting fading, mildew, and cracking season after season.
On the trailer, at the dock, or in storage, your cover shields the helm, electronics, and upholstery from UV, rain, dust, and bird droppings — protecting the value of a premium bay boat.
Reinforced tie-downs and a snug, tailored cut keep the cover secure and quiet — even at highway tow speed or in a stiff breeze. Proudly custom-made in the USA.
BlackJack is a premium line of saltwater center-console bay boats built by K2 Marine, the Kenner family’s boatbuilding operation in Knoxville, Arkansas (the same company behind Frontier Boats). BlackJacks are hand-built one boat at a time and known for a Carolina-flare hull with reverse-flare chines that turn spray down for a dry ride, the ability to run shallow yet handle chop, and show-stopping fit and finish. The lineup is the 224, the 256 Bay flagship, and the 256 Coastal bay-to-offshore hybrid, roughly 22 to 26 feet.
A BlackJack is a premium investment that holds its value. Left exposed, UV, salt air, rain, and bird droppings fade gelcoat, stain upholstery, and wear on electronics. A properly fitted cover shields the helm, seating, and rigging on the trailer, at the slip, or in storage, helping keep your BlackJack in the condition that protects its value.
A universal cover sits loose, traps moisture, and flaps in the wind, chafing gelcoat and loosening fasteners at highway speed. Our BlackJack covers are custom-patterned to your specific model and year for a snug, tailored fit that sheds water and stays put.
On a BlackJack, the cover depends on more than the model. These boats are often run with a jack plate (which sets the motor back) and a T-top, and the 256 Bay and 256 Coastal are different hulls. We pattern to your exact model, year, and rig — jack plate, T-top, and all — so the cover fits the boat you actually own.
Each cover is crafted from marine-grade, UV-resistant fabric chosen to handle sun, salt, and humidity without fading or cracking. Reinforced stitching, tailored seams, and secure tie-downs keep it snug and quiet, while a water-repellent finish helps rain and spray run off instead of soaking through.

To maintain your boat cover, start by brushing off any loose dirt. Rinse it with fresh water, and for a more thorough cleaning, use a mild soap and a soft brush. Always avoid harsh chemicals, as they can degrade the material over time.
We make custom covers for the BlackJack lineup — the 224, the 256 Bay, and the 256 Coastal — plus older hulls like the 226. Tell us your model, year, and rig and we'll match the right pattern.
Yes. A jack plate sets the outboard back and a T-top changes the profile, so both affect the cover. Let us know your rig when ordering so the cover fits your exact setup.
No. The BlackJack 256 Bay and 256 Coastal are different boats with different layouts, so they take different covers. Just tell us which one you have and we'll match it.
