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
The Cobia 280 DC T-Top cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for reliable 5-7 year protection, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8-10 years of UV and weather resistance. A lighter 7oz option is also available. All fabrics are solution-dyed through the fiber for colorfastness and long-term durability.
Yes. The Cobia 280 DC T-Top cover is pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts that wrap around the T-Top support legs. The cover drapes from the hardtop frame down to the rubrail, leaving the white fiberglass hardtop roof exposed on top while fully enclosing the hull, both consoles, and cockpit below.
Installation takes one person under five minutes. Drape the cover over the bow, align the T-Top cutouts around the support legs, pull the fabric aft past both consoles, then secure the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs along the gunwale. No tools required.
Yes. The Cobia 280 DC T-Top cover features reinforced stitching and a hem cord system designed for highway-speed trailering. The adjustable straps hold the cover tight against the hull at speed, preventing billowing or flapping during transport.
Absolutely. The Cobia 280 DC T-Top cover creates a complete barrier over both the helm and passenger consoles, fishfinder, GPS, VHF radio, all seating cushions, and cockpit upholstery. The water-repellent fabric blocks UV rays, rain, salt spray, and airborne debris that cause fading and deterioration.
Every Cobia 280 DC T-Top cover includes a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The solution-dyed fabrics are engineered for 5-7 years of service life, and the Sunbrella option extends that to 8-10 years under normal conditions.
The Cobia 280 DC T-Top cover is water-resistant with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish that causes rain and spray to bead and roll off the fabric surface. The cover is also breathable, allowing trapped moisture and condensation to escape rather than pooling underneath — which prevents mildew growth.
Yes. This cover is designed to fit all standard production years of the Cobia 280 DC equipped with a factory T-Top. Since the 280 DC's hull dimensions and T-Top mounting points have remained consistent across production, the cover fits all model years without modification.
The 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric is available in Navy, Black, and Charcoal. The premium Sunbrella acrylic line offers an expanded selection of colors. All colors are solution-dyed through the fiber for lasting colorfastness that won't fade, even in harsh saltwater sun.
Shipping is a flat rate per cover for delivery anywhere in the continental United States. Orders typically ship within 1-2 business days and arrive via standard ground carrier.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Cobia 280 DC T-Top Boat Cover — Dual Console Versatility, Premium Protection
The Cobia 280 DC is a 27’7″ dual console with a 9’8″ beam, weighing approximately 7,090 pounds and rated for up to 500 horsepower on twin outboards. Built by Maverick Boat Group in Fort Pierce, Florida, Cobia has been crafting saltwater fishing and family boats since the mid-1950s — a heritage that runs seven decades deep. The 280 DC pairs a 21-degree deadrise hull with a 172-gallon fuel tank for extended offshore range, while the dual console layout adds a full walk-through windshield and port-side passenger seating that makes this equally capable as a family cruiser. This custom-fitted T-Top cover from the Cobia boat covers collection wraps the entire hull below the hardtop, protecting both the helm and passenger consoles, cockpit, and all onboard electronics.
Tailored to the 280 DC’s Dual Console Architecture
The Cobia 280 DC features a dual console layout with a starboard helm station, a port-side passenger console with enclosed head compartment, a walk-through windshield, a cockpit with convertible aft seating, a transom livewell, and a bow entertainment area with seating and table. This cover is pattern-cut to accommodate the T-Top support legs, both console profiles, the walk-through windshield, and the twin transom-mounted outboards. Adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs at the gunwale and a hem cord at the rubrail secure everything for trailering. One person installs the cover in under five minutes — the same ease found in the Cobia 277 T-Top cover and the entire Cobia lineup.
Protection That Matches Cobia’s Seven-Decade Standard
Fabric options include 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric rated for five to seven years of UV and weather resistance, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for eight to ten years. Both fabrics feature a DWR water-repellent finish, mildew resistance, and breathable construction that prevents condensation from building up beneath the cover. Double-stitched seams and a continuous hem cord at the rubrail create a tight, wind-resistant fit, and every cover ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Owners of similar dual console platforms will find the same protection in the Grady-White 275 Freedom T-Top cover.
