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.

Boston Whaler 13 Center Console Boat Cover — The Original Legend, Custom-Covered
The Boston Whaler 13 measures 13’4″ with a 5’3″ beam and approximately 275 pounds dry — the boat that started it all. When Dick Fisher cut an early prototype in half and both halves stayed afloat, the “Unibond” foam-cored hull became the foundation of one of the most trusted names in boating. Powered by a single outboard up to 40 horsepower, the original 13 delivers a simple, rugged fishing platform with a shallow 6-inch draft that floats in water barely deeper than a bathtub. A custom-fitted center console cover from Perfect Fit Boat Covers wraps the entire hull from bow to stern, protecting the console, wiring, and gelcoat from UV damage, rain, and seasonal weather. Browse the full lineup of center console boat covers to see how Perfect Fit protects every hull type.
Tailored to the Classic 13’s Legendary Profile
This cover is pattern-cut to the Boston Whaler 13’s specific hull geometry — one of the most recognized silhouettes in boating history — with a snug fit that follows the gunwale profile and console shape without sagging or excess fabric. An elastic cord hem secures the cover at the waterline while an outboard motor cutout at the transom allows the cover to seat cleanly with your engine in place. One person handles the installation in under three minutes. The 13 is one of the easiest boats on the water to trailer, store, and maintain — this cover makes long-term protection effortless. If your fleet also includes the slightly larger classic, check out the Boston Whaler 15 center console cover.
Marine-Grade Fabric for a Timeless Hull
Your cover ships in your choice of 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric rated for 5–7 years of hard use, 7oz performance-weight fabric ideal for garage storage, or premium Sunbrella acrylic engineered to last 8–10 years under direct sun. Every option is water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and double-stitched at every seam. The breathable fabric prevents trapped moisture while blocking 99% of UV rays — essential protection for the 13’s gelcoat and any electronics you have mounted. Each cover ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty and free standard shipping within 1–2 business days. Owners with a larger Boston Whaler in the family can also explore the Boston Whaler 17 Montauk T-Top cover built with the same premium construction.
