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 CX (Crossover) designation means the 248 combines a fishing center console's functionality with a dual-console family cruiser layout. It features a passenger-side console with windshield, deep bow seating area, portside lounger, and insulated fish box with baitwell — creating a boat that's equally capable for family day trips and fishing excursions.
The 248 CX's dual-console configuration creates a different deck profile than a standard center console. Our custom pattern accounts for both the helm console and passenger console, the windshield height, bow seating layout, and the CX-specific cockpit geometry. The cover wraps smoothly over both consoles without binding.
Yes. At ~5,950 lbs dry, the 248 CX is notably heavier than the similarly-sized 245CC (~4,200 lbs). The additional weight comes from the dual-console structure, bow seating, and additional amenities. This weight has no impact on cover fit or performance, but it does require a more robust tow vehicle and trailer.
Absolutely. The T-Top cover wraps over the passenger console, protecting the windshield, passenger instrumentation, and seating area from UV damage and salt corrosion. The windshield glass, in particular, benefits from UV protection — prolonging the life of any tinting or anti-glare coatings.
Yes. The 248 CX features a deep bow lounge area with vinyl cushions and storage. Our cover pattern extends forward to cover the entire bow seating zone, protecting cushions and upholstery from UV fade, mildew, and salt damage.
No. Our pattern is specifically designed for the 248 CX's portside lounger profile. The cover drapes over the lounger's raised cushion platform and integrates cleanly with the cockpit-level coverage. There are no gaps or bunching around the lounger area.
The 248 CX's 120-gallon tank provides excellent range for a dual-purpose boat. While slightly less than the 245CC's 140 gallons, the CX's efficient single 350 HP outboard still delivers substantial offshore range — enough for full-day fishing trips combined with afternoon family cruising.
Yes, though you'll need a heavy-duty trailer rated for 7,000+ lbs (to account for fuel, gear, and tongue weight). The 8'6" beam is within standard trailering width limits. Our cover stays secure at highway speeds with the reinforced tie-down system designed for heavier boats.
A crossover boat serves double duty — fishing and family cruising — which means more total hours on the water and more diverse use conditions. The SPI hull's foam-filled, unsinkable construction provides extra safety for family passengers, while the wood-free design eliminates rot risk from the higher moisture exposure that comes with more frequent use.
Perfect Fit offers covers in standard marine colors including Navy, Black, and Charcoal. While exact hull color matching isn't available, these classic colors complement EdgeWater's gel coat color options and provide a professional appearance on any CX.
EdgeWater 248 CX T-Top Boat Cover
The EdgeWater 248 CX is the brand’s crossover masterpiece — a 24’6″ dual-console platform that merges serious fishing capability with family-friendly cruising amenities. The CX features a passenger-side console with windshield, deep bow lounge seating, portside lounger, insulated fish box with baitwell, and 350 HP max single-engine power — all built on EdgeWater’s patented SPI vacuum-infused hull. At ~5,950 lbs dry, the 248 CX is a substantial boat that demands substantial protection.
A Perfect Fit custom T-Top cover delivers that protection. Our pattern is engineered specifically for the 248 CX’s dual-console layout, wrapping both the helm and passenger consoles, bow seating area, portside lounger, cockpit, and all deck hardware in UV-resistant solution-dyed marine fabric. The cover locks to the rubrail with reinforced stitching and adjustable tie-downs, keeping every vinyl surface, electronic component, and stainless fitting protected from sun, salt, and weather.
Crossover Design, Complete Coverage
The 248 CX’s dual-purpose layout means more surfaces to protect: vinyl bow cushions, portside lounger padding, passenger console instrumentation, windshield glass, and the full complement of fishing hardware. Our cover accounts for every element of the CX’s unique profile — the stepped bow seating, raised passenger console, and windshield height — delivering complete coverage without the gaps, bunching, or binding that generic covers produce on crossover boats.
