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

Yes. The cover is pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts that wrap around the T-Top support legs. The hardtop remains exposed while the fabric encloses the hull from the rubrail down.
Installation takes under 5 minutes solo. Drape the cover over the T-Top frame, secure the adjustable tie-down straps beneath the hull, and cinch the hem cord along the rubrail for a snug fit.
Yes. The cover is reinforced for highway-speed trailering with heavy-duty straps that hold securely during transit, protecting the cockpit at road speed.
Yes. The cover creates a complete barrier over the cockpit, shielding your console-mounted electronics, GPS, fishfinder, leaning post, and all upholstery from UV, rain, salt spray, and debris.
Every cover includes a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, giving you confidence in long-term durability.
The fabric is water-resistant with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish that sheds rain and spray while remaining breathable to prevent trapped moisture and mildew.
This cover is designed for the Cobia 217 with a factory-installed T-Top during its standard production run. If your 217 has the original T-Top configuration, this cover will fit.
The 9oz solution-dyed fabric is available in Navy, Black, and Charcoal. The 7oz option adds additional color choices, and the Sunbrella line offers the widest color selection.
Yes. All orders ship free via standard ground shipping within the continental United States, typically arriving within 1-2 business days.
Cobia 217 T-Top Boat Cover — Flagship Small CC Protection
The Cobia 217 tops out the small center console lineup at 21’7″ with an 8’6″ beam, roughly 2,900 pounds dry, and up to 250 horsepower — making it the most capable sub-22-footer Cobia has built. With 89 gallons of fuel and a 20-degree deadrise, the 217 handles nearshore runs and inlet crossings that smaller hulls hesitate to attempt. Manufactured by Maverick Boat Group in Fort Pierce, Florida — the same team behind Perfect Fit’s full catalog of custom boat covers — the 217 represents over six decades of Cobia design evolution in a trailerable package. This custom-fitted T-Top cover shields the entire cockpit from bow to transom, protecting your console, electronics, leaning post, and rod storage from UV degradation, salt corrosion, and weather damage.
Precision-Cut for the 217’s Hull Profile
This cover wraps the Cobia 217’s specific dimensions with reinforced cutouts around the T-Top frame legs. The hardtop remains exposed while the fabric extends below the rubrail to near-waterline coverage that seals out rain, debris, and direct sun exposure during storage. The pattern-cut fit eliminates excess fabric that causes pooling and wind damage on generic covers. Install solo in under five minutes — drape over the T-Top, secure the adjustable straps, and cinch the hem cord — then trailer at highway speed with confidence. The 217’s 250-HP ceiling gives it real teeth for an inshore boat, and this cover ensures it stays in fighting shape between trips. For anglers who also run the 217 without a T-Top, the Cobia 201 cover protects the entry-level hull in the same small CC family.
Built for the Long Haul
The 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric delivers 5–7 years of rated UV and saltwater resistance — engineered for the kind of daily exposure that Florida, Texas, and Gulf Coast boaters put their equipment through. Upgrade to Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of premium fade resistance and all-weather durability. Both fabrics are water-repellent, breathable, and mildew-resistant, with double-stitched seams at every stress point and a 2-year manufacturer warranty. When you’ve invested in the flagship of Cobia’s small CC range, cutting corners on protection makes no sense.
