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.

Blue Wave 2300 SL Bay T-Top Boat Cover — Sport Lite Performance, Maximum Coverage
The Blue Wave 2300 SL Bay stretches 22 feet 8 inches overall with an 8-foot 6-inch beam, weighs approximately 2,200 pounds dry, and pushes up to 300 horsepower. Built in Seminole, Oklahoma by the Parks family since 1992, the 2300 SL Bay pairs Blue Wave’s signature transitional deadrise hull with a Sport Lite design philosophy — lighter weight, self-bailing cockpit, and an unsinkable four-stringer foam-filled construction that earned the trust of bay fishermen across the Gulf Coast and beyond. With a 13-inch draft and 60 gallons of fuel, this boat reaches skinny water that bigger rigs cannot touch. A custom-fitted T-Top boat cover from Perfect Fit wraps the 2300 SL Bay’s cockpit in total protection against sun damage, salt corrosion, and weather exposure during storage or transport.
Tailored to the 2300 SL Bay’s Streamlined Profile
The cover is pattern-cut to the 2300 SL Bay’s exact hull dimensions, with reinforced cutouts that fit cleanly around the T-Top support legs. The streamlined SL Bay layout — center console, leaning post, rod holders, livewells, and self-bailing cockpit — is fully accounted for in the cover’s design, with no bunching or loose material that could flap at highway speed. Installation is a one-person job that takes under five minutes: drape, align, strap, and buckle at the rubrail. Trailering with the cover on is no problem — reinforced seams and tie-downs keep everything locked down. For anglers eyeing the next size up in Blue Wave’s bay boat lineup, the 2400 Pure Bay T-Top cover delivers the same tailored fit for a 24-foot hull.
Protection Worthy of Blue Wave’s Foam-Filled Engineering
Three fabric options match any budget and usage level: 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric rated for 5 to 7 years, 7oz solution-dyed for lighter-duty use, or Sunbrella acrylic engineered for 8 to 10 years of service. All fabrics are water-repellent with DWR treatment, resist mildew growth, and feature double-stitched seams for long-term durability. A 2-year manufacturer warranty backs every cover. For serious offshore capability in Blue Wave’s lineup, the 2600 Makaira T-Top cover protects the hybrid-hull model built for blue water and back bays alike.
