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 Fountain 38 SCX 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 engineered for the extreme offshore and salt-spray conditions your high-performance SCX operates in.
Yes. The Fountain 38 SCX 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 SCX's specific T-Top geometry and quad-engine console spacing.
Installation takes under 5 minutes with one person. Simply drape the cover over your Fountain 38 SCX'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 can launch and race without delays.
No — please remove the cover before towing your Fountain 38 SCX. 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 38 SCX cover provides a complete barrier over your quad-ready console, helm electronics, GPS, fishfinder, and tournament-grade upholstery. The water-repellent fabric sheds rain and salt spray while the breathable construction prevents moisture buildup underneath that can damage sensitive electronics and racing equipment. Your high-end racing electronics stay protected from UV and saltwater corrosion.
Your Fountain 38 SCX 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 SCX's gel coat and expensive electronics. The fabric allows airflow while blocking UV rays and weather.
This cover fits Fountain 38 SCX boats with the factory T-Top from standard production years. The SCX's stepped hull and high-performance geometry have remained consistent across production runs, ensuring a precision fit for modern and legacy SCX models. If your boat has an aftermarket T-Top, contact us for a custom fit quote.
The Fountain 38 SCX 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 38 SCX 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 38 SCX T-Top Boat Cover — Extreme Offshore Performance Protection for Mercury Racing Heroes
The Fountain 38 SCX is where Fountain’s forty-plus years of performance engineering reach peak intensity: a stepped-hull thoroughbred engineered to scream past 100 mph with quad 500R Mercury Racing engines or cruise reliably at 90+ mph on triple 400R power. Born from tournament-winning DNA, this 38-foot center console at 15,000 pounds dry weight and 26-inch draft represents the high-performance series flagship — a boat for offshore racers, tournament competitors, and speed enthusiasts who live on the edge. The Fountain 38 SCX’s aggressive hull design, aggressive power, and race-proven three-piece fiberglass construction with stringer grid demand protection equally aggressive: your T-Top cover shields the helm station, rod holders, electronics, and leaning post from UV destruction and salt spray that corrodes tournament-grade rigging. As Fountain’s closest competitor to the Perfect Fit Boat Covers ecosystem of high-performance platforms, your SCX deserves a cover engineered for the same intensity.
Tailored to the SCX’s High-Performance Center Console Architecture
The Fountain 38 SCX packs quad-ready (or triple-ready) console integration, performance electronics, and the elevated leaning post geometry that defines serious competitive fishing. Your cover is pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts wrapping precisely around the T-Top support legs — the hardtop stays exposed while the cover drapes below to protect console, leaning post, rod storage, and cockpit from the elements and UV. Installation takes under 5 minutes solo using the integrated strap-and-buckle system; no fumbling, no D-rings, no D-grommets — just align the reinforced cutouts and tighten down. Your cover stays locked down tight with double-stitched construction and secure tie-down points, protecting your SCX investment between runs. Remove the cover before towing — it’s designed for storage, not highway travel. Whether your SCX sports triple 400R or quad 500R power, the cover’s reinforced stitching handles the wind and thermal stress of high-speed offshore runs, staying as reliable as the Fountain 43 NX models that share Fountain’s performance heritage.
Protection That Matches the SCX’s Extreme Demands
Your T-Top cover is crafted from 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric as standard, with premium Sunbrella acrylic available for the durability that tournament schedules demand. The 9oz fabric delivers 5-7 years of UV and weather protection, water-repellent performance that sheds saltwater spray and tropical downpours, and mildew-resistant construction proven in the harshest offshore environments. Every seam is double-stitched with reinforced hem cord at the rubrail, engineered to withstand the aerodynamic stress, thermal cycling, and wake spray that test every fiber on a boat built for 100+ mph runs. Our warranty covers materials and workmanship for 1 year and the fabric for 3–6 years, depending on the fabric you choose, backing the same commitment Fountain builds into every SCX. Your cover breathes rather than trapping moisture — condensation won’t accumulate under the hardtop to damage gel coat or corrode the high-end electronics that read your offshore conditions. The Fountain 31 may share Fountain DNA, but the SCX demands protection built for extreme performance, and that’s exactly what this cover delivers.
