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 43 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 — the color penetrates every fiber during manufacturing for maximum retention.
Yes. The Freeman 43 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 43'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 12'3" beam and buckle them at the rubrail. The hem cord along the bottom edge secures the cover against the Freeman 43's catamaran hull lines. No tools required.
The Freeman 43 is typically slip-kept rather than trailered due to its 43'5" length and 19,500-pound ready-to-fish weight. However, the T-Top cover is built with reinforced stress points and heavy-duty tie-down straps that can handle transit to and from the yard or marina on a properly rated trailer.
Yes. The cover creates a complete barrier over the Freeman 43's 53" x 20" helm dash, multi-display electronics suite, six forward-facing seats, and premium cockpit upholstery. It blocks UV rays, rain, salt spray, bird droppings, and airborne debris — essential for protecting the extensive electronics and custom finishes on a flagship Freeman.
Every Freeman 43 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.
The cover is water-resistant with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that causes rain and spray to bead and roll off. It is intentionally breathable rather than fully waterproof — this prevents mildew and mold growth underneath the cover, which is critical for a boat that may sit covered at a slip between tournament runs.
Yes. The Freeman 43 T-Top cover is designed to fit all production years of the Freeman 43 equipped with a factory T-Top. Since Freeman custom-builds every hull, minor variations may exist between builds, but the cover's adjustable strap system accommodates these differences while maintaining a snug 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 under intense offshore UV exposure.
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.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Freeman 43 T-Top Boat Cover — Flagship Protection for a Flagship Catamaran
The Freeman 43 is a 43’5″ catamaran center console with a 12’3″ beam, 16,000-pound dry weight, and up to 1,800 horsepower from four outboards pushing the twin-hull design past 65 mph. Launched in 2022 as the next evolution in Freeman’s offshore catamaran program, the 43 carries 808 gallons of fuel for a 655-mile cruising range, twin 70-gallon pressurized livewells totaling 140 gallons, twin 500-quart below-deck fish boxes, and twin 510-quart gullwing coffin boxes — all built by hand at Freeman Boatworks’ factory in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. The 43 is where tournament fishing meets blue-water cruising. Our custom-fitted T-Top cover keeps the Freeman boat covers collection working to protect every inch of this hand-laid catamaran’s hull and custom interior from UV, salt, and weather.
Tailored to the Freeman 43’s Tournament Platform Layout
This T-Top cover is pattern-cut to the Freeman 43’s exact catamaran dimensions — wrapping from the hardtop frame down over the center console with its 53″ x 20″ helm dash, the six forward-facing seats in a double-row configuration, the twin 510-quart gullwing coffin boxes, and the quad-engine transom. The reinforced cutouts wrap precisely around the T-Top legs while the fabric follows the 43’s 12’3″ beam and twin-hull geometry, tucking beneath the rubrail with a hem cord that traces the catamaran’s hull lines. Under five minutes to install solo — drape, strap across the beam, buckle at the rail. For Freeman’s largest platform, see the Freeman 47 T-Top cover — built for the flagship of the fleet.
Protection That Matches a Million-Dollar Build
Freeman boats start at $375,000 and the 43 pushes well into seven figures fully rigged. Every hull is hand-laid with biaxial and triaxial fiberglass, vinylester resin, and a closed-cell structural core — custom-built one at a time in a facility that prioritizes performance over production volume. The cover that protects it needs to deliver accordingly. Our 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric provides 5–7 years of UV-resistant, water-repellent, mildew-resistant protection, while the premium Sunbrella acrylic upgrade pushes that to 8–10 years with superior fade resistance. Double-stitched seams and a 2-year manufacturer warranty come standard. For the entry point into Freeman’s catamaran family, see the Freeman 28 T-Top cover — the same precision protection, scaled to the twin-engine platform.
