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 Freeman 28 T-Top cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric as the standard option, with a premium Sunbrella acrylic upgrade available. The 9oz fabric provides 5-7 years of UV-resistant, water-repellent protection, while the Sunbrella option extends that to 8-10 years of fade-proof performance. Both fabrics are solution-dyed — meaning the color penetrates every fiber during manufacturing, not just applied to the surface.
Yes. The Freeman 28 T-Top cover is pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts that wrap around the T-Top support legs, allowing the cover to drape from the hardtop down over the hull while the white fiberglass hardtop roof remains fully exposed on top. The cover is designed specifically for the Freeman 28's catamaran hull geometry and T-Top configuration.
Installation takes under 5 minutes and can be done solo. Drape the cover over the bow and pull it back toward the stern, fitting the reinforced cutouts around the T-Top legs. Pull the adjustable straps across the 9'10" beam and buckle them at the rubrail. The hem cord along the bottom edge secures the cover snugly against the hull. No tools required.
Yes. The Freeman 28 T-Top cover is built with reinforced stress points and heavy-duty tie-down straps designed for highway-speed trailering. The cover stays secure during transit, and the Freeman 28's trailer-friendly 16-inch draft and 8,900-pound ready-to-fish weight make it one of the most towable boats in the Freeman lineup.
Yes. The cover creates a complete barrier over the Freeman 28's helm console, electronics dash (34" x 20.5"), twin helm seats, and cockpit upholstery. It blocks UV rays, rain, salt spray, bird droppings, and airborne debris — protecting the premium components that come standard on every custom-built Freeman.
Every Freeman 28 T-Top cover comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The solution-dyed marine fabric is rated for 5-7 years of active use, and the premium Sunbrella acrylic option is rated for 8-10 years, both far outlasting the warranty period.
The cover is water-resistant with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that causes rain and spray to bead and roll off the fabric surface. It is intentionally breathable rather than fully waterproof — this allows trapped moisture and condensation to escape, preventing mildew and mold growth underneath the cover in humid coastal environments.
Yes. The Freeman 28 T-Top cover is designed to fit all standard production years of the Freeman 28 equipped with a factory T-Top. Since Freeman custom-builds every hull, minor variations may exist, but the cover's adjustable strap system accommodates these differences while maintaining a snug, custom fit.
The 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric is available in Navy, Black, and Charcoal. The premium Sunbrella acrylic upgrade expands the palette with additional color choices. All colors are solution-dyed for maximum fade resistance, even under the intense UV exposure of offshore fishing environments.
Shipping is a flat rate of $30.00 per cover to anywhere in the continental United States. Orders typically ship within 1-2 business days.
Freeman 28 T-Top Boat Cover — Catamaran Performance Deserves Catamaran Protection
The Freeman 28 is a 28’9″ twin-engine catamaran center console with a 9’10” beam, 6,500-pound dry weight, and up to 600 horsepower driving the twin-hull design through offshore swells at 40 mph. Built by Freeman Boatworks in Moncks Corner, South Carolina — where every hull is hand-laid with biaxial and triaxial fiberglass over a closed-cell structural core — the 28 is the entry point into the most sought-after catamaran lineup in sportfishing. With 250 gallons of fuel, 82 gallons of total livewell capacity, and a 16-inch draft that lets you run shallow when the bite moves inshore, this is a boat that goes everywhere and does everything. Our custom-fitted center console curtain and T-Top cover protect the Freeman 28’s premium fit and finish from the salt, sun, and weather that South Carolina and beyond throw at it.
Engineered for the Freeman 28’s Twin-Hull Layout
This T-Top cover is pattern-cut to the Freeman 28’s exact dimensions — draping from the hardtop frame down over the console, twin helm seats, 82-gallon livewell system, and 240-quart midship storage boxes before tucking beneath the rubrail with a reinforced hem cord. The cover accounts for the 28’s catamaran-specific hull geometry, with fabric tension calibrated for the wider stance and tunnel design unique to Freeman’s twin-hull form. Installation takes under five minutes solo — drape, pull the adjustable straps across the beam, and buckle at the rubrail. Built for trailering at highway speed with reinforced stress points, and the 16-inch draft means you can launch at virtually any ramp.

Protection That Matches Freeman Craftsmanship
Freeman builds every hull by hand in a 300,000-square-foot facility with the same obsessive attention to detail that started in Billy Freeman’s garage in 2007. Your cover should match that standard. Choose from our 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for 5–7 years of UV-resistant, water-repellent protection, or upgrade to premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of fade-proof performance. Both options feature double-stitched seams, mildew-resistant treatment, and a 2-year manufacturer warranty. For Freeman’s flagship tournament platform, see how we protect the Freeman 43 T-Top — the same quality, scaled to the full catamaran lineup.
