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 280 CC jumps to a 28-foot platform with a wider 9'6" beam — a full foot wider than the 268's 8'6" — and supports up to 600 HP across twin outboards. The 200-gallon fuel tank provides the range for serious offshore runs to the Gulf Stream or deep-water canyon edges. The wider beam translates to a significantly larger cockpit with more fishing real estate.
Our pattern is cut specifically for the 280 CC's wide-body hull. The extra foot of beam compared to smaller EdgeWaters means substantially more fabric, wider tie-down spacing, and reinforced stress points at the beam's widest section. The cover maintains a tight, wrinkle-free fit across the full 9'6" width.
Yes. The cover wraps every deck surface including livewells, in-floor fish boxes, rod storage, tackle stations, and the helm electronics suite. All hardware — livewell pumps, drain fittings, rod holder inserts, and gel coat surfaces — stays protected from UV degradation and salt crystallization between fishing trips.
The stern section of the T-Top cover lifts and folds forward to expose both outboard engines for maintenance, oil checks, and filter changes. You don't need to strip the entire cover for routine engine service.
The cover wraps below the hardtop, so aftermarket additions mounted on top of the T-Top roof — radar domes, antenna arrays, LED light bars, outrigger mounts — remain exposed and unaffected. For electronics mounted below the hardtop or on the console, let us know during ordering so we can adjust the pattern.
Solution-dyed fabric has color infused throughout every fiber during manufacturing, not applied to the surface. This means salt, sun, and repeated washings won't fade or weaken the material the way surface-dyed fabrics degrade. In saltwater environments, our solution-dyed fabric maintains its color and tensile strength for 5-7 years with basic maintenance.
The 280 CC is a dedicated center console designed for fishing — one helm station, maximum deck space, and tournament-ready features. The 280 CX is a crossover dual-console with a passenger-side windshield, bow seating area, and more family-friendly layout. Both share the same 28-foot SPI hull platform, but the cover patterns are different to accommodate the distinct deck configurations.
At 6,900 lbs dry weight with a 9'6" beam, the 280 CC exceeds standard trailering width limits in most states. Most owners store on dock lifts or in marina slips. Some use wide-load trailers for seasonal transport. Our cover is designed for all storage configurations and includes tie-down hardware appropriate for each.
The SPI vacuum-infused hull eliminates trapped moisture pockets that cause blistering and delamination in traditional fiberglass boats. Combined with our UV-blocking cover, the 280 CC's gel coat and structural integrity are preserved season after season — the foam-filled core can't absorb water even if the gel coat gets a nick.
In saltwater marina environments, rinse with fresh water every two weeks to prevent salt crystal buildup that can abrade fabric fibers. Full wash with mild soap twice per season. For boats stored on open-water docks with heavy spray exposure, weekly rinsing during peak summer extends cover life significantly.
EdgeWater 280 CC T-Top Boat Cover
The EdgeWater 280 CC is a 28-foot offshore center console built for anglers who run hard and fish harder — 600 HP of twin outboard power, a 200-gallon fuel tank, and a 9’6” beam that provides a stable fishing platform in open water. Built through EdgeWater’s signature SPI vacuum-infusion process, the 280 CC’s one-piece, foam-filled, unsinkable hull is reinforced with PermaGrid fiberglass and 316L stainless steel throughout. At nearly 7,000 lbs dry, this is a serious offshore machine that earns proper protection between trips.
A Perfect Fit custom T-Top cover wraps the 280 CC’s full deck — livewells, in-floor fish boxes, rod storage, helm electronics, and both outboard engines — in UV-resistant, salt-proof solution-dyed marine fabric. The cover is patterned specifically for the 280 CC’s wide 9’6” beam and dual-engine transom, with reinforced stitching at high-stress points and a heavy-duty tie-down system built for the wind loads a 28-foot boat encounters at exposed marina docks.
Built for Offshore, Protected for Years
The 280 CC sits in the sweet spot of EdgeWater’s Center Console Series — large enough for serious canyon runs and tournament fishing, manageable enough for a two-person crew. The 200-gallon tank delivers the fuel range to reach productive bottom structure 50+ miles offshore and still have reserves for the run home. Our cover protects the full twin-engine setup, all deck hardware, and the gel coat finish that keeps the 280 CC looking sharp season after season. Browse our boat shade collection for on-water sun protection, or compare the EdgeWater 285 T-Top cover for the next step up. For a compact Heritage option, see the EdgeWater 188 center console cover.
