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 17 Eastover Center Console Boat Cover — The Rare Classic, Properly Protected
The Boston Whaler 17 Eastover measures 17’0″ with a 6’8″ beam and approximately 1,300 pounds dry — a limited-production center console that carries the lean, no-nonsense DNA of Boston Whaler’s earliest designs. Powered by a single outboard up to 115 horsepower, the 17 Eastover is a nimble inshore platform built for flats fishing, tidal creeks, and protected bays where a light draft and quick acceleration matter more than offshore range. The foam-cored “Unibond” hull delivers the unsinkable foundation that has defined Boston Whaler for over six decades. 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.
Precision-Fit for the 17 Eastover’s Clean Layout
This cover is pattern-cut to the 17 Eastover’s exact hull dimensions — matching the console profile and open cockpit layout without excess material. 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 entire installation in under five minutes — drape over the console, pull to the rails, and secure. The lightweight 17 Eastover is one of the most trailerable Whalers ever built, and this cover protects it during transport and long-term storage. Owners looking for a similar fit in the Montauk line will find the same precision on the Boston Whaler 17 Montauk center console cover.
Marine-Grade Fabric for a Collector’s Hull
Choose from 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 construction prevents trapped moisture and condensation while blocking 99% of UV rays — essential protection for the 17 Eastover’s gelcoat and any electronics you have mounted. Each cover includes a 2-year manufacturer warranty and free standard shipping within 1–2 business days. Boston Whaler owners with a larger rig in the fleet can also explore the Boston Whaler 230 Outrage T-Top cover built with the same premium construction.
