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 Donzi 29 ZF, built from about 2001 to 2010 as the 29 ZF Open center console and the 29 ZF Cuddy, with its T-top. Tell us your model year and version when you order so we can confirm the fit.
No. The 32 ZF is about three and a half feet longer on a 9'2" beam and has its own pattern, as does the Donzi 35.
Our T-Top style is made for any boat with a hard top — a T-top, a hardtop or an arch with a top. The cover runs up under the top and around its supports, so the roof stays exposed. Most 29 ZFs we found carry a T-top; if yours has a different top, send us a photo before ordering.
Yes. The stern section is cut to wrap both outboards as part of the same cover, so you don't need separate motor covers.
Choose 9oz solution-dyed polyester (Navy or Black) for heavy-duty everyday protection, 7oz polyester (Black) for budget-friendly coverage, or premium Sunbrella acrylic (Marine Blue, Black, or Smoke) for maximum UV resistance and longevity.
No. The cover is made to protect your boat while it is parked on its trailer, up on a lift or in storage. Take it off before you tow: trailering with the cover on can damage it and voids the warranty.
Materials and workmanship are covered for 1 year, and the fabric carries its own warranty (3 years on 7oz, 5 years on 9oz, and 6 years on Sunbrella). Every cover is made to order, so please allow 1–3 weeks; shipping is a $30 flat rate within the continental US.
Pricing: 7oz $1,900.00 · 9oz $2,150.00 · Sunbrella $2,550.00 — your final total appears below as you build your cover.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Donzi 29 ZF T-Top Boat Cover — Custom-Fit for the Stepped-Hull Donzi 29 ZF Center Console
Donzi Marine was founded in 1964 by offshore racer Don Aronow in North Miami and later moved to Sarasota, Florida; American Marine Holdings, the parent of Pro-Line, owned it from 1993 to 2009, and the brand is now built in Washington, North Carolina. The 29 ZF is the smallest of Donzi’s ZF-series performance center consoles, built as the 29 ZF Open and as a cuddy version; HMY’s guide dates it 2001 to 2009, and listings include 2010 boats. Salt Water Sportsman, which tested the cuddy in 2007, gives it 28’7″ overall, a 9-foot beam, a 21-inch draft, 6,200 lb, 180 gallons of fuel and a 500 hp rating; it rides on a dual-step deep-V hull, listed at 22 degrees of deadrise, and the test boat topped out at 54 mph on twin 225 Mercury OptiMax outboards. The features a cover has to clear include the T-top with its rocket launcher, a console with a half-height windshield and room for a head, a forward console seat with a cooler beneath, a raised bow casting platform with storage, a leaning post with drop-down bolsters, cockpit bolsters, a 50-gallon lighted transom livewell, and a starboard transom door with an integrated dive platform. This T-Top cover is patterned for the 29 ZF with its T-top, and like all of our Donzi boat covers, it’s cut to this hull rather than a generic 29-foot size chart.
How It Fits the 29 ZF
The cover runs up to the underside of the T-top and wraps its legs, leaving the top and its rod holders exposed. Below, it falls over the console, windshield and leaning post, spreads forward over the console seat and casting platform — or the low cuddy top — to the rubrail along the 9-foot beam, and continues aft over the transom livewell and dive platform to wrap both outboards in one piece. On a boat this size, installing is easiest with two people: drape it bow to stern, run the hem cord along the rubrail, and cinch the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs. It’s made for storage on a trailer, lift, dry stack, or jet dock — take it off before towing, since trailering with the cover on can damage it and voids the warranty.
Open or Cuddy?
Donzi built the 29 ZF as an open center console and as a cuddy with a V-berth under a raised forward deck. Both share the 28’7″ hull and the T-top, but the bow shape differs, so tell us which version you own when you order and we’ll confirm the fit.
Fabric, Warranty & Shipping
Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for heavy-duty everyday protection (5–7 year service life), a lighter 7oz fabric for budget-friendly coverage, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of fade resistance. Every option is water-repellent, breathable, mildew-resistant, and double-stitched at the seams. Each cover is backed by our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 3–6 years on the fabric) and ships for a $30 flat rate within the US — every cover is made to order, so please allow 1–3 weeks. For the larger ZF-series consoles, see the Donzi 32 ZF T-Top cover or the Donzi 35 T-Top cover.
