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.

Boston Whaler 17 Montauk Center Console Boat Cover — The Original Mid-Size, Fully Protected
The Boston Whaler 17 Montauk measures 17’0″ with a 6’8″ beam and approximately 1,350 pounds dry — the mid-range Montauk that has been a staple of bay fishing and coastal recreation for decades. Powered by a single outboard up to 115 horsepower with 25 gallons of fuel, the 17 Montauk strikes the ideal balance between portability and genuine fishing capability. Built on the foam-cored “Unibond” hull, the 17 Montauk offers the legendary unsinkable construction and simple, rugged layout that make the Montauk family one of the most trusted lines in recreational boating. A custom-fitted boat cover from Perfect Fit Boat Covers wraps the entire hull from bow to stern, protecting the console, electronics, and gelcoat from UV damage, rain, and seasonal weather.
Custom-Cut to the 17 Montauk Hull
This cover is pattern-cut to the 17 Montauk’s exact hull geometry, with a snug fit that follows the gunwale profile and console shape without excess material. An elastic cord hem secures the cover at the waterline while an outboard motor cutout at the transom seats cleanly with your engine. One person handles installation in under five minutes. The Montauk family continues this precision fit — the next step up is the Boston Whaler 190 Montauk center console cover.
