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.
*The warranty periods above are provided by the fabric manufacturer and cover the material itself. For details on what’s included in the warranty for your completed cover, please see our warranty page.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's patterned for the redesigned 160 Super Sport — the 16'2" (17'5" with platforms), 6'10"-beam boat with a side console. If you have an earlier 160 Super Sport from before the redesign, if you're not sure which generation you have, send us your year (the hull ID number on the starboard transom ends in the model year) and a couple of photos before ordering.
Yes. The cover is cut to the full length including the platforms on either side of the outboard, and wraps around the motor so rain doesn't collect at the transom.
Fold the sun top and ski tow structure down before fitting. The cover is shaped to the side console and seats, not to a raised frame.
Choose 9oz solution-dyed polyester (Navy or Black) for heavy-duty everyday protection, or premium Sunbrella acrylic (Marine Blue, Black, or Smoke) for maximum UV resistance and longevity.
No. The cover is made to protect your boat while it is parked on its trailer, up on a lift or in storage. Take it off before you tow: trailering with the cover on can damage it and voids the warranty.
Materials and workmanship are covered for 1 year, and the fabric carries its own warranty (5 years on 9oz and 6 years on Sunbrella). Every cover is made to order, so please allow 1–3 weeks; shipping is a $30 flat rate within the continental US.
Pricing: 9oz $750.00 · Sunbrella $885.00 — your final total appears below as you build your cover.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Boston Whaler 160 Super Sport Center Console Boat Cover — Custom-Fit for the Redesigned 160 Super Sport
The Boston Whaler 160 Super Sport is Whaler’s 16-foot side-console skiff, redesigned “from the keel up” (Boating magazine’s 2020 review) and still in the lineup for 2026. The factory sheet lists it at 16’2″ on the centerline (17’5″ including the swim platforms) with a 6’10” beam and 10″ of draft, 1,060 lb dry without engine, a 75–90 hp outboard and a 15° deadrise, with room for six. Fuel is two 6.5-gallon portable tanks under the seat (13 gallons), upgradable to 19 gallons with the 90 hp engine. The layout has a fiberglass side console with lockable storage, a helm bench seat, a cooler seat beside the console, removable bow cushions, full-length welded stainless side rails and swim platforms on either side of the outboard. This Center Console cover is patterned for the Boston Whaler 160 Super Sport, and like all of our Boston Whaler boat covers, it’s cut to this hull rather than a generic 16-foot size chart.
How It Fits the 160 Super Sport
The cover rises over the side console and wheel, runs across the helm bench, console cooler seat and bow to the rubrail, and continues back over the swim platforms and outboard so the boat sheds water as one piece. It’s shaped to the side console rather than peaking on the centerline, and it covers the bow cushions so they stay dry. If you have the optional sun top or ski tow structure, fold it down before covering. Installation takes about five minutes: drape it bow to stern, run the hem cord along the rubrail, and cinch the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs. It’s made for storage on a trailer, lift, dry stack, or jet dock — take it off before towing, since trailering with the cover on can damage it and voids the warranty.
Fabric, Warranty & Shipping
Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for heavy-duty everyday protection (5–7 year service life) or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of fade resistance. Both are water-repellent, breathable, mildew-resistant, and double-stitched at the seams. Each cover is backed by our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 5 years on 9oz and 6 years on Sunbrella) and ships for a $30 flat rate within the US — every cover is made to order, so please allow 1–3 weeks. For the 15-foot version, see the Boston Whaler 150 Super Sport cover; for the 17-foot version, see the Boston Whaler 170 Super Sport cover.
