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 38 TE 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 tournament-intensive conditions your Fountain 38 TE operates in year-round.
Yes. The Fountain 38 TE 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, livewell access, and cockpit. The design accounts for the Tournament Edition's specific T-Top geometry and tournament rigging layout.
Installation takes under 5 minutes with one person. Simply drape the cover over your Fountain 38 TE'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 focus on tournament prep and fishing.
Absolutely. The Fountain 38 TE 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 to tournaments. At 15,600 pounds with tournament-grade rigging, your TE is built for serious fishing, and your cover protects that investment on every trip.
Yes. The Fountain 38 TE cover provides a complete barrier over your 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 corrode tournament rigging. Your livewell systems and fish storage stay protected from UV and saltwater corrosion.
Every Fountain 38 TE 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 for tournament boats.
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 TE's gel coat and electronics. The fabric allows airflow while blocking UV rays and weather.
This cover fits Fountain 38 TE boats with the factory T-Top from standard production years. The Tournament Edition has maintained consistent hull geometry across production runs, ensuring a precision fit for modern and legacy TE models. If your boat has an aftermarket T-Top or custom tournament rigging, 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 TE's tournament 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 during tournament season.
Yes. Every Fountain 38 TE 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 so you can get tournament-ready fast.
Fountain 38 TE T-Top Boat Cover — Tournament-Grade Fishing Protection Built for the Pros
The Fountain 38 Tournament Edition is serious fishing engineering: 37 feet 11 inches of tournament-ready hull built heavier and stronger than the standard 38 at 15,600 pounds dry weight, with a 28-inch draft engineered for stability on rough offshore grounds where tournament-class fishing happens. Triple outboard power maxes at 1,350 HP with triple 450R engines, conservative power matched to the boat’s tournament mission — reliability and range over raw speed. The 270-gallon fuel capacity and proven Fountain hull design give you extended fishing range, while the boat’s legendary three-piece fiberglass construction with stringer grid handles the punishment of a full pro schedule: back-to-back tournaments, predawn launches, extended livewell duty. Founded in 1979 in Washington, North Carolina, Fountain Powerboats built its reputation on tournament success, and the Fountain 38 TE carries that winning heritage. Your T-Top cover protects the extensive livewell systems, console electronics, and rod storage from UV degradation and saltwater corrosion that can sideline a tournament boat — the cover wraps the hull below the hardtop, shielding every inch of tournament-grade rigging, and lets you focus on T-Top boat covers that work as hard as your boat does.
Tailored to the Tournament Edition’s Pro-Grade Layout
The Fountain 38 TE is tournament engineering from the keel up: heavy-duty livewell systems, extensive fish storage, raised helm console with tournament rigging, elevated leaning post, and rod holders positioned for competitive fishing. Your cover is pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts that wrap precisely around the T-Top support legs — the hardtop stays exposed while the cover protects everything below: helm station, leaning post, rod storage, livewell access, and cockpit upholstery from sun and salt spray. Installation takes under 5 minutes solo using the integrated strap-and-buckle system; no fumbling, no D-rings, no complications — just align the reinforced cutouts around the T-Top geometry and lock down the buckles. The tournament edition is reinforced for rigorous use, and your cover matches that durability with double-stitched seams and secure tie-down points rated for highway-speed trailering. Whether you’re running the Super Boat International circuit or your local Saturday tournament, the cover protects your investment on the way to the next competition, just like tournament pros who rely on Fountain 34 TE protection know matters.
Protection That Matches Tournament Demands
Your T-Top cover is crafted from 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric as standard, with premium Sunbrella acrylic available for the extended durability that tournament schedules demand. The 9oz fabric delivers 5-7 years of UV and weather protection, water-repellent performance that sheds rain and tropical downpours, and mildew-resistant construction proven in saltwater tournament environments where your boat lives 6+ months on the water annually. Every seam is double-stitched with reinforced hem cord at the rubrail, engineered to handle the wind, thermal stress, and salt spray of an active tournament boat. The 2-year manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, backing the quality standard that tournament boats demand. Your cover breathes rather than trapping condensation — moisture won’t accumulate under the hardtop where it can damage gel coat, corrode livewell systems, or fog electronics during storage. The protection your Fountain 38 TE receives keeps your tournament investment protected season after season, whether you’re prepping for regional or national events, and it works just as reliably as the Fountain 25 covers that protect smaller tournament platforms.
