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 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 saltwater and offshore conditions your Fountain 38 operates in.
Yes. The Fountain 38 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 Fountain 38's specific T-Top geometry and frame spacing.
Installation takes under 5 minutes with one person. Simply drape the cover over your Fountain 38'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 fishing.
Absolutely. The Fountain 38 cover is reinforced for highway-speed trailering with double-stitched seams and secure tie-down points. The cover stays tight at speed and protects your boat from road debris, UV exposure, and weather during transport. At 11,300 pounds dry weight, your Fountain 38 is built for serious offshore work, and your cover protects that investment every mile.
Yes. The Fountain 38 cover provides a complete barrier over your console, helm electronics, GPS, fishfinder, and upholstery. The water-repellent fabric sheds rain and salt spray while the breathable construction prevents moisture buildup underneath that can damage sensitive electronics and corrode connections. Your tournament-grade rigging stays protected from UV and salt degradation.
Every Fountain 38 T-Top cover includes a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The 9oz solution-dyed fabric is engineered to last 5-7 years and the Sunbrella option 8-10 years, both well beyond the warranty period. We stand behind the quality of every cover we build.
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 Fountain 38's gel coat and interior electronics. The fabric allows airflow while blocking UV rays and weather.
This cover fits Fountain 38 boats with the factory T-Top from standard production years. The Fountain 38 has maintained consistent hull geometry across production, ensuring a precision fit for modern and legacy models. If your boat has an aftermarket T-Top, contact us for a custom fit quote.
The 9oz solution-dyed fabric is available in Navy, Black, and Charcoal — all chosen to complement the Fountain 38's styling. The premium Sunbrella acrylic option expands your choices with additional colors. All colors are solution-dyed, meaning the color goes through the entire fiber rather than just the surface, so it won't fade from UV exposure.
Yes. Every Fountain 38 T-Top cover ships free via standard shipping to the continental United States. Orders typically ship within 1-2 business days. Your cover arrives rolled to minimize creasing and is ready to install immediately out of the box.
Fountain 38 T-Top Boat Cover — Flagship Performance Protection for the King of Offshore
The Fountain 38 represents four decades of offshore racing heritage distilled into a 38-foot center console that defines performance and tournament readiness. Built in Washington, North Carolina since 1979, Fountain Powerboats earned the title “King of Offshore” through uncompromising engineering — and the Fountain 38 carries that legacy in its deep-V performance hull, triple outboard power up to 1,800 HP, and 418-gallon fuel capacity designed for extended blue-water capability. At 11,300 pounds dry weight with a 24-inch draft, this is a boat engineered for serious anglers and offshore racers who demand speed without sacrifice. Your T-Top cover protects the console, helm station, leaning post, and rod holders from UV degradation, salt spray, and weather that can compromise your center console curtain and electronics over months on the hard.
Tailored to the 38’s Tournament-Grade Center Console Layout
The Fountain 38 packs serious functionality into a tight footprint: wraparound helm console with digital integration, rod storage, and the elevated leaning post that defines center console ergonomics. Your cover is pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts that wrap precisely around the T-Top support legs — the hardtop stays exposed while the cover drapes down to protect everything below: helm station, leaning post, rod holders, and cockpit upholstery from UV and moisture. Installation takes under 5 minutes solo using the integrated strap-and-buckle system; no tools, no D-rings, no fuss. The reinforced construction handles highway-speed trailering without shifting, so your Fountain stays protected whether you’re on the hardstand or heading to the next tournament. Whether you own a model matching the Fountain 25 or a larger platform, this cover delivers the same precision fit Fountain owners have trusted for years.
Protection That Matches Fountain Quality
Your T-Top cover is crafted from 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric as standard, with premium Sunbrella acrylic available for extended durability. The 9oz fabric delivers 5-7 years of reliable UV and weather protection, water-repellent performance that sheds rain and salt spray, and mildew-resistant construction proven in saltwater environments. Every seam is double-stitched with reinforced hem cord at the rubrail, designed to withstand the wind, wake spray, and thermal stress of an active offshore boat. The 2-year manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, backing the quality that Fountain owners expect. And because it’s breathable rather than fully waterproof, moisture and condensation won’t trap underneath to damage your gel coat or electronics — the cover lets your Fountain breathe while the Fountain 43 NX models nearby benefit from the same engineering principles.
