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.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Cape Horn 31 Tournament cover comes in 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric (rated 5-7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (rated 8-10 years). Both are water-repellent, UV-resistant, and mildew-resistant. The 9oz is available in Navy, Black, and Charcoal.
Yes. The cover pattern extends over the full transom area and is designed to accommodate the wider spread of triple outboards. Powerheads, controls, rigging, and hydraulic steering are all covered when the boat is docked or stored.
The cover installs solo in under 5 minutes. Start from the bow, drape over the hull, align the reinforced T-Top cutouts, run the hem cord along the rubrail, and secure the adjustable tie-down straps from bow to stern. No tools needed.
Yes. The 9oz fabric handles 5-7 years and Sunbrella handles 8-10 years of continuous outdoor exposure — including direct sun, salt air, and tropical rain typical of Southeast coastal storage.
Yes. The cover encloses the entire cockpit including the walk-in console, the 13" x 40" flush-mount electronics area, all helm gauges, and the dual livewell systems. UV and salt spray are fully blocked.
A 2-year manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. The fabric is rated for 5-7 years (9oz) or 8-10 years (Sunbrella) of continuous outdoor exposure.
Water-resistant with a breathable DWR finish. It sheds heavy rain and dock spray while allowing air circulation to prevent mildew — critical for a boat this size with extensive interior surfaces.
Yes. The cover sits over the entire fish box area, protecting the insulated lid gaskets, drain fittings, and macerator plumbing from UV degradation. This extends the life of seals and O-rings that dry-rot in sustained sun.
Yes, the cover fits all 31 Tournament model years with a factory T-Top. The 31 Tournament is a discontinued model succeeded by the 31 T — this cover pattern matches the original Tournament deck layout.

Cape Horn 31 Tournament T-Top Boat Cover — 100-Mile Offshore Weapon Stays Ready
The Cape Horn 31 Tournament was built for running 100 miles offshore and bringing fish home — 31’8″ LOA, 9’1″ beam, room for 800 HP across triple outboards, and a 273-gallon fuel tank that gives you the range to fish the canyons without watching the gauge. The Fabbro family engineered the 23-degree deadrise hull with foam-filled composite construction, proprietary cutwater, and reverse chines that keep the cockpit dry in building seas. The 700-quart insulated fish box with macerator handles the haul, and dual livewells (60 and 26 gallons) keep bait alive at the edge. A boat with this much hardware exposed to salt and sun needs more than a center console curtain — it demands a full custom-fitted T-Top boat cover engineered to the hull’s exact dimensions, protecting triple-engine rigging, tournament electronics, and every cockpit surface between runs.
Pattern-Cut to the 31 Tournament’s Triple-Engine Configuration
This cover is pattern-cut to the Cape Horn 31 Tournament’s specific dimensions, wrapping beneath the T-Top hardtop while leaving the fiberglass roof exposed. The tournament cockpit packs 26 rod holders, a walk-in console with over 6’2″ of headroom, and a 13″ x 40″ flush-mount electronics area — all of it shielded under the cover’s protective envelope. Reinforced cutouts accommodate the T-Top legs, and the cover drapes cleanly over the console, leaning post, and coaming bolsters. The entire triple-engine transom area sits under protection — powerheads, controls, rigging, and hydraulic steering. Installation takes one person under five minutes with the hem cord and adjustable strap system. The Cape Horn 31 T T-Top cover fits the current-production evolution of this platform with updated amenities on the same proven hull.
Cover Protection That Handles What the Gulf Stream Throws at It
A boat that fishes the Gulf Stream, the canyons, and offshore tournaments lives in salt, UV, and humidity year-round — the cover needs to match those conditions. Our 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric is rated for 5-7 years of relentless exposure, with a DWR finish that sheds tropical downpours while staying breathable enough to prevent mildew underneath. Premium Sunbrella acrylic extends protection to 8-10 years for boats that stay on a lift or in a slip between tournaments. Double-stitched seams survive sustained dock wind, and every cover ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty and free standard delivery. Cape Horn’s 10-year hull warranty and lifetime transom guarantee set the bar — your cover meets it. For a trailerable offshore option that still carries Cape Horn DNA, the Cape Horn 22 OS T-Top boat cover delivers the same precision-fit protection on a 350 HP single-engine platform.
