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
You can choose between our 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric, which offers 5-to-7-year durability, or premium Sunbrella acrylic, which provides 8-to-10-year performance. Both fabrics are UV-resistant, water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and breathable.
The cover wraps the hull beneath the hardtop while the T-Top structure remains exposed above. Our pattern is cut to follow the T-Top legs, console, and leaning post so the fabric lays flat and secure without interfering with the hardtop frame.
Yes. The adjustable strap-and-buckle system is designed for solo installation in under five minutes. A reinforced hem cord runs along the rubrail to lock the cover in place quickly and securely.
Absolutely. The hem cord, tie-down straps, and reinforced stitching work together to keep the cover tight and secure during highway trailering, preventing lifting or flapping at speed.
Yes. The cover drapes over the entire console area, shielding GPS units, fishfinders, VHF radios, and helm gauges from UV exposure, rain, salt spray, and airborne debris.
Every Front Runner 36 T-Top cover includes a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects. The solution-dyed fabric is built to last 5-to-7 years, and the Sunbrella option is rated for 8-to-10 years of service.
The fabric is water-repellent rather than fully waterproof. This design is intentional — it sheds rain and spray effectively while remaining breathable enough to prevent moisture buildup and mildew growth underneath.

Front Runner 36 T-Top Boat Cover — Offshore Armor for a Proven Predator
The Front Runner 36 measures 36’6″ with a 10’6″ beam and tips the scales at roughly 12,500 lbs dry. Powered by triple Mercury Verado 300 V8 outboards producing 900 horsepower and fed by a 475-gallon fuel tank, this deep-vee center console devours open water with a 500-plus-nautical-mile range. Built in Florida by Front Runner Boatworks, the 36 pairs a high-performance stepped hull with serious fishability — and every square inch of that investment deserves protection when the boat is at rest. Our custom-fitted T-Top cover shields the console, leaning post, gunwale rod holders, and forward fish boxes from sun, rain, and salt while the hardtop remains exposed. Browse the full lineup of Front Runner boat covers to see every model we support.
Tailored to the 36’s Tournament-Ready Deck
Covering a 36-foot center console with triple outboards takes precision, not guesswork. Our pattern accounts for the T-Top legs, oversized leaning post with integrated tackle station, transom live wells, and flush-mounted rod holders so the fabric drapes smoothly without bunching or flapping. The adjustable strap-and-buckle system lets one person install the cover in under five minutes, and the reinforced hem cord locks securely at the rubrail for confident highway trailering. If you also run a larger Front Runner offshore, take a look at the Front Runner 39 T-Top boat cover built on the same proven pattern philosophy.
Protection That Matches Front Runner Quality
Front Runner builds boats that chase blue water in any conditions, so the cover guarding yours should be equally relentless. Choose our 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for dependable UV and mildew resistance backed by a 5-to-7-year lifespan, or upgrade to premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8-to-10-year durability in the harshest coastal climates. Both options are water-repellent, breathable enough to prevent trapped moisture, and finished with double-stitched seams reinforced at every stress point. Every cover ships with a 2-year warranty. Owners shopping for similar offshore protection may also want to explore the Sea Vee 390 T-Top boat cover for comparison.
