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 1990 Costa TE is Scout's Tournament Edition — a limited-production 19'5" center console built on the 190 Costa platform with upgraded tournament-grade rigging, enhanced fuel capacity, and performance features tailored for competitive inshore fishing. The TE designation reflects a boat optimized for speed, fishability, and reliability under tournament conditions.
Yes. Our custom cover is patterned to accommodate the 1990 Costa TE's full deck layout including the console, Power Pole mounts, trolling motor bracket, rod holders, and livewells. If your TE has aftermarket electronics or additional tournament rigging, let us know and we'll adjust the pattern at no extra charge.
The 1990 Costa TE's generous 8'6" beam provides a stable fishing platform and our cover is patterned to match that wider profile precisely. The broader beam actually creates better cover tension across the deck, reducing sagging and pooling compared to narrower hull designs.
Absolutely. Our cover is designed for daily use — quick on, quick off. The adjustable tie-down straps and hem cord system allow one person to install or remove the cover in under 15 minutes. Many tournament anglers keep the cover on between practice days and events to protect electronics and rigging from overnight dew and UV exposure.
Yes. The reinforced stitching and secure tie-down system are designed for sustained highway trailering. The 1990 Costa TE's 19'5" length and 8'6" beam are well within standard trailer dimensions, and the cover stays locked in place without flutter or lifting at speed.
For year-round outdoor storage, Sunbrella acrylic is the premium choice — it offers 8–10 years of UV resistance and maximum fade protection. If your TE lives under a covered slip or in a garage between events, our solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) provides excellent protection at a lower price point.
The cover extends past the transom to protect the engine cowling from UV and salt spray. The lower unit remains exposed below the waterline as designed. For full engine protection during storage, our cover shields the cowling, powerhead, and all rigging above the transom.
Our patterns are cut with strategic tension points that shed water toward the gunwales rather than allowing it to pool in the cockpit area. The breathable fabric also allows minor moisture to wick through, preventing the stagnant water buildup that causes mildew.
Accessing under-console components requires partially lifting the cover. The adjustable straps release easily, allowing you to lift a section, toggle the battery switch or check the bilge, and re-secure in minutes without fully removing the cover.
Every Perfect Fit cover includes our satisfaction guarantee and fabric warranty — 5–7 years for solution-dyed marine fabric, 8–10 years for Sunbrella acrylic. We also offer free pattern adjustments if your 1990 Costa TE has aftermarket modifications that affect fit.
Scout 1990 Costa TE Center Console Boat Cover
The Scout 1990 Costa TE is a tournament-grade 19’5″ center console built on Scout’s proven 190 Costa platform — a hull designed for competitive inshore fishing where speed to the spot and a stable casting platform determine the outcome. With an 8’6″ beam, 45-gallon fuel capacity, and single outboard power up to 225 HP, the 1990 Costa TE delivers the range and performance that serious tournament anglers demand. Scout’s Summerville, South Carolina craftsmanship shows in every detail, from the foam-filled NuV3 hull to the precision-fit hardware and tournament-ready rigging.
Protecting the 1990 Costa TE’s electronics, livewells, Power Pole mounts, and tournament rigging starts with a properly fitted center console cover. Perfect Fit’s solution-dyed marine fabric is patterned to the TE’s exact hull contours, wrapping the cockpit, console, rod holders, and casting platforms while providing complete UV and salt spray defense. The breathable, water-repellent fabric prevents mold and mildew between tournament days — keeping your rigging dry, your electronics protected, and your boat ready to launch at a moment’s notice.
Tournament-Ready Protection
The 1990 Costa TE was built to fish hard and run fast. The NuV3 triple-stepped hull breaks surface tension for faster hole shots and a drier ride in rough conditions, while the wide 8’6″ beam provides the stability needed for sight-casting and fly-fishing in tournament scenarios. That level of performance engineering deserves equal attention when the boat is on the trailer or at the dock. A custom center console cover locks out UV radiation that degrades gel coat, vinyl, and rubber seals, while shielding sensitive electronics from salt fog and overnight condensation — preserving both the boat’s tournament readiness and its long-term resale value.
