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 170 hits the ideal balance between compact trailering and real fishing capability — 16'10" gives you noticeably more cockpit space than the 15-foot models, while the 7'3" beam adds stability without making the boat hard to tow. At 1,700 lbs with 115 HP, it planes quickly, cruises efficiently, and still fits in a standard garage. The 30-gallon fuel tank provides solid half-day range for inshore and nearshore fishing.
Yes. The cover wraps the entire boat from bow to stern as one continuous piece. The fabric extends past the transom and drapes over the engine cowling. Only the lower unit and propeller remain visible below the fabric edge. No separate engine cover needed.
The SPI hull gives the 170 structural integrity well beyond its size class. The 7'3" beam provides good initial stability, and the 10" draft keeps you in skinny water that larger boats can't reach. It's best suited to bays, inlets, rivers, nearshore reefs, and calm ocean days. On good weather days, experienced operators take these nearshore without issue — the hull won't let you down, but respect the size.
The 175 adds 8 inches of length (17'6" vs 16'10") with the same 7'3" beam, but significantly increases fuel capacity from 30 to 45 gallons — a 50% range boost. The 175 is also 100 lbs heavier at 1,800 lbs. Both max at 115 HP. If range matters for your fishing style, the 175 is worth the step up. If compactness and easy towing are priorities, the 170 delivers.
At 1,700 lbs dry and 16'10" LOA, the 170 sits on a standard single-axle trailer. Total tow package runs roughly 2,400–2,600 lbs loaded, well within the capability of most midsize SUVs and pickup trucks. The 7'3" beam fits standard 8-foot garage doors with room to spare.
Yes, the 170CC is part of EdgeWater's current Heritage Series lineup, making it one of the actively manufactured models. Current production 170CC boats benefit from ongoing refinements to the SPI construction process and updated standard equipment.
The 170 packs genuine fishing functionality into its compact footprint — a livewell, rod holders, under-gunwale rod storage, a center console with storage compartments, and a self-bailing cockpit. The cockpit layout maximizes usable fishing space for 2–3 anglers casting simultaneously. This isn't a repurposed recreational boat with rod holders bolted on — it's built from the keel up for fishing.
For a trailered 170 stored outdoors year-round, Sunbrella acrylic is the smart investment. The 8–10 year UV resistance pays for itself over two replacement cycles of standard fabric. If you garage the boat or use it primarily in milder climates, standard 9oz solution-dyed fabric at 5–7 years provides excellent value.
Our pattern is cut to the 170's factory specifications. Common additions like aftermarket leaning posts, GPS units, Power-Pole brackets, or trolling motors may need pattern adjustments. Note all accessories during ordering so we can modify the pattern for a proper fit.
At 17 feet, most manufacturers cut corners with basic hand-laid fiberglass. EdgeWater's SPI vacuum infusion creates a one-piece hull with zero air pockets, perfectly distributed resin, and structural foam filling that makes the hull unsinkable. The result is a 1,700-lb boat that's lighter, stronger, and more rigid than conventionally built boats 2–3 feet longer. You feel the difference in how it tracks, handles chop, and holds up over decades of use.
EdgeWater 170 Center Console Boat Cover
The EdgeWater 170CC is the sweet spot of the Heritage lineup — 16’10” of SPI vacuum-infused hull on a 7’3” beam, carrying 115 HP and a 30-gallon fuel tank in a package that still fits in a standard garage. At 1,700 lbs dry, this is the Heritage model where real fishing capability meets easy trailering — a noticeably bigger cockpit than the 15-foot models without the towing complexity of an 18-footer. One-piece foam-filled unsinkable hull, wood-free construction, 316L stainless throughout.
A Perfect Fit center console cover wraps the entire 170 — hull, console, cockpit, and outboard engine — in UV-resistant solution-dyed marine fabric. One continuous piece from bow past the transom, draping over the engine cowling for complete all-weather protection during storage.
The Versatile Inshore Machine, Fully Wrapped
A boat built to fish every weekend deserves protection that keeps it ready to launch at a moment’s notice. Between trips, UV, rain, salt, pollen, and bird droppings attack gel coat, fade plastics, and corrode hardware. Our center console cover stops all of it, keeping the 170 in the condition it deserves. Browse our complete boat cover collection for every size and brand, or check the EdgeWater 175 center console cover for more fuel range. For T-Top options, see the EdgeWater 225 T-Top cover.
