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 Fountain 31 T-Top cover is crafted from 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric as the standard option, with premium Sunbrella acrylic available as an upgrade. The 9oz fabric delivers 5-7 years of reliable UV and weather protection, while Sunbrella extends that lifespan to 8-10 years. Both options are mildew-resistant and specifically engineered for the marine environment your 31 operates in.
Yes. The Fountain 31 cover is pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts that wrap precisely around your T-Top support legs. The hardtop remains fully exposed while the cover protects everything below — console, leaning post, rod holders, and cockpit. The design accounts for the 31's specific T-Top geometry and frame spacing.
Installation takes under 5 minutes with one person. Simply drape the cover over your 31's cockpit, align the reinforced cutouts around the T-Top legs, and secure using the integrated strap-and-buckle system. No tools required. The cover is designed for quick on/off so you spend more time on the water.
No — please remove the cover before towing your Fountain 31. Our covers are not designed to be trailered: towing with the cover on can cause severe damage to the cover and voids the warranty. The cover is designed for storage only — on a trailer, boat lift, dry stack, or jet dock — and comes off in minutes at the ramp.
Yes. The Fountain 31 cover provides a complete barrier over your console, helm electronics, GPS, fishfinder, and upholstery. The water-repellent fabric sheds rain while the breathable construction prevents moisture buildup underneath that can damage sensitive electronics. Your tournament-grade equipment and fishing positions are fully protected from salt spray and weathering.
Your Fountain 31 cover is backed by our manufacturer's warranty for the original purchaser. Materials and workmanship — stitching, straps, buckles, zippers, and other hardware — are covered for 1 year from the purchase date. Fabric is covered for 3 years on 7oz, 5 years on black or navy 9oz, and 6 years on Sunbrella. Covered defects are repaired or replaced after you contact us for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. The warranty does not cover improper use, accident or negligence, unauthorized modifications, improper care, mold or mildew, incorrectly placed orders, theft or loss, or acts of God — and traveling with the cover on or using it in the water voids the warranty. See our Warranty page for full details.
The cover is water-resistant with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish that sheds rain and spray effectively. It's intentionally breathable rather than fully waterproof — this prevents moisture and condensation buildup underneath that can damage your 31's gel coat and interior. The fabric allows airflow while blocking UV rays and weather.
This cover is patterned for the Fountain 31 Center Console / 31 Tournament Edition with the factory T-Top; both share the same hull. The 31 Sportfish Cruiser is a different cabin boat, so if you own one, contact us to confirm fit. If your boat has an aftermarket T-Top, contact us for a custom fit quote.
The Fountain 31 cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed polyester in Navy or Black, 7oz polyester in Black, or premium Sunbrella acrylic in Marine Blue, Black, or Smoke. Choose your fabric and color in the order options above.
Shipping is a $30 flat rate per cover within the continental United States. Because every cover is custom-made to order, please allow 1–3 weeks for your Fountain 31 cover to be made and shipped — you'll receive tracking information as soon as it leaves our facility.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Fountain 31 T-Top Boat Cover — Tournament-Grade Fishing Powerhouse
The Fountain 31 is the tournament favorite that earned “King of Offshore” status for Fountain Powerboats, founded in 1979 by Reggie Fountain in Washington, North Carolina. At 31’0″ LOA with a surprisingly narrow 8’4″ beam, the 31 was engineered for speed and precision—twin outboards deliver up to 600 HP, powering this deep-V platform with the aggressive 22° deadrise that cuts offshore chop like a knife. Your 31 carries 204 gallons of fuel and weighs about 4,800 lbs dry, making it a time-proven tournament favorite in the hands of serious fishermen. The T-Top boat covers protecting your 31 wrap the full hull below the hardtop, shielding the console, tackle storage, and tournament-grade upholstery from the UV and salt spray that relentlessly age exposed components.
Tailored to the 31’s Legendary Cockpit Architecture
The 31’s T-Top layout is pure function: the leaning post anchors the fishing positions, the console houses tournament electronics, and every rod holder placement was designed for serious competition. Your cover pattern-cuts reinforced cutouts that wrap around the T-Top support legs without interference, keeping the hardtop fully exposed while protecting everything below—console, electronics, and cockpit seating. The specs shown are for the Fountain 31 Center Console / 31 Tournament Edition, which share one hull; if you own the 31 Sportfish Cruiser (a different cabin boat), contact us to confirm fit. Installation is under 5 minutes, solo, using the integrated strap-and-buckle system that requires no tools and lets you secure the boat between sunset and dawn. The 31’s narrow beam means your cover stays naturally taut, with double-stitched seams and hem cord reinforcement at the rubrail. Remove the cover before towing — it’s designed for storage, not travel. Compare this protection with Fountain 34 T-Top covers for wider-beam stepping-up models.
Protection That Matches Fountain Quality
The 31’s tournament pedigree demands protection built for the long haul. Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for 5-7 years of proven UV and weather resistance, or step up to premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8-10 years of elite durability. Both options are mildew-resistant with double-stitched seams engineered specifically for the marine environment. Your cover includes our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 3–6 years on the fabric) and is built with breathable construction that prevents moisture and condensation from damaging your electronics and gel coat. Every detail—from the reinforced stitching to the water-repellent finish—reflects Fountain’s heritage of offshore performance.
