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.

Contender 35 T-Top Boat Cover — Triple-Outboard Flagship Protection
The Contender 35 is where Contender’s stepped-hull technology meets true big-water capability — a 35-foot hull with a 10’6″ beam, 24.5-degree deadrise, and triple outboards pushing over 900 combined horsepower that give this 10,000-pound center console the speed and range to fish the deepest canyons off the Mid-Atlantic and still make it home for dinner. Contender’s hand-laminated biaxial and triaxial fiberglass over structural PVC core with vinyl ester resins creates a hull that absorbs the punishment of multi-day offshore campaigns without breaking down. At 35 feet, the cockpit is a full-size tournament platform with the space and infrastructure to handle blue marlin, bluefin tuna, and everything in between. Explore our full collection of center console boat covers built for serious offshore boats.
Engineered for the 35’s Massive Offshore Footprint
The Contender 35’s 10’6″ beam and 35-foot length create one of the largest cover footprints we build — and one that demands absolute precision in patterning. Our cover wraps around the T-Top legs and drapes over the oversized console, leaning post, rocket launcher, and the expansive cockpit that defines this flagship platform. Triple outrigger bases, antenna mounts, and the full electronics tower are all accommodated without interference. The strap-and-buckle system secures at the rubrail in under five minutes, and the heavy-duty reinforced construction is rated for any storage or transport scenario this boat encounters. For Contender’s fish-around flagship, see our Contender 36 FA T-Top cover.
Flagship Fabric for a Flagship Investment
A Contender 35 represents a significant investment — and it lives at the marina year-round, absorbing the full force of subtropical UV, salt air, and humidity between offshore trips. Our 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric delivers 5–7 years of fade-proof, water-repellent, mildew-resistant protection that keeps gelcoat, upholstery, and the substantial electronics package in showroom condition. Sunbrella acrylic extends that to 8–10 years for maximum return on your cover investment. Double-stitched seams, hem cord at the rubrail, and a 2-year manufacturer warranty come standard. For tournament anglers running Contender’s mid-range bracket-mounts, explore our Contender 27 Tournament T-Top cover.
