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.

Contender 33 Tournament T-Top Boat Cover — Triple-Outboard Tournament Powerhouse Protection
The Contender 33 Tournament is the largest bracket-mount tournament platform in the Contender lineup — a 33-foot hull with 24.5-degree deadrise, a 10’2″ beam, and triple outboards delivering up to 900 combined horsepower that make it a dominant force at every major offshore tournament from the Florida Keys to the Mid-Atlantic. At roughly 8,500 pounds dry, the 33 Tournament’s hand-laminated biaxial and triaxial fiberglass with structural PVC core and vinyl ester resins creates a hull that handles the worst the Gulf Stream can throw at it while keeping the crew fresh and the fish cold. Our custom-fitted T-Top boat covers protect this elite tournament investment year-round.
Built for the 33 Tournament’s Elite Competition Layout
The 33 Tournament’s cockpit is a tournament command center — oversized insulated fish boxes capable of holding the biggest dolphin or wahoo, massive aerated livewells, rod holders positioned for every technique from kite fishing to deep-dropping, rocket launchers, and outrigger bases engineered for heavy tackle. Our cover wraps around the bracket-mount T-Top legs and drapes over the console, leaning post, and the full 10’2″ beam cockpit, precisely accommodating every piece of tournament hardware. The strap-and-buckle system secures at the rubrail in under five minutes, and the cover is built for the highway miles between tournament venues. For the stepped-hull 30-footer with the same Contender DNA, see our Contender 30 ST T-Top cover.
Tournament-Grade Protection for Tournament-Grade Boats
A 33 Tournament doesn’t sit in a garage — it lives at the dock, absorbing South Florida’s relentless UV, salt, and humidity between events. Our 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric delivers 5–7 years of fade-proof, water-repellent, mildew-resistant protection that keeps gelcoat, upholstery, and the significant electronics investment in competition-ready condition. Sunbrella acrylic extends that to 8–10 years. Double-stitched seams, hem cord at the rubrail, and a 2-year manufacturer warranty come standard.
