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 Grady White 180 (Fisherman 180) is one of the brand's most successful small center consoles. At 17'10" with a 7'5" beam, the 180 delivers a complete fishing package — center console with full instrumentation, rod holders, livewell, fishbox, and casting deck — in a lightweight, trailerable platform. The SeaV² hull provides a ride quality unusual for an 18-footer.
The 180 offers a surprisingly complete fishing setup: center console with helm station and electronics mounting, gunwale rod holders, aerated livewell, insulated fishbox with drainage, bow casting platform, and a cockpit sized for 2–3 anglers. The shallow 15-inch draft accesses skinny water — flats, oyster bars, and backwater creeks.
The 180 accommodates a single outboard up to 150 HP. A Yamaha F115 or F150 provides excellent performance — 30–35 mph top speed and strong fuel economy. Combined with 54 gallons of fuel, the 180 provides enough range for full-day inshore fishing and comfortable nearshore trips within 10–15 miles of the inlet.
At 17'10" and about 2,150 lbs with 19° deadrise, the 180 rides remarkably well in 1–2 foot chop. The SeaV² hull design provides a drier, smoother ride than competing 18-footers, and the sharp entry at the bow reduces pounding. The hull transitions to a stable running surface aft for confidence at rest.
The 180 is slightly longer (17'10" vs. 17'5"), carries more fuel (54 vs. 48 gallons), and takes up to 150 HP vs. the 17's 140 HP, on the same 7'5" beam. The SeaV² hull is a meaningful upgrade over the 17's modified V, providing better ride quality in chop. The 180 also adds a larger livewell, bigger fishbox, and more cockpit space — a step up in fishing capability.
Very easy. At 17'10" and about 2,150 lbs with a 7'5" beam, the 180 tows behind any SUV or truck with minimal effort. The single-axle trailer is lightweight and maneuverable, and the boat's modest size makes solo launching and retrieval straightforward at any ramp.
With 54 gallons and a fuel-efficient Yamaha F150 at cruise, the 180 provides enough range for full-day fishing — comfortable inshore exploring all day or nearshore trips within 10–15 miles. For an 18-foot boat focused on inshore and nearshore fishing, 54 gallons is well-matched to the hull's mission.
The 17'10" length and 7'5" beam create a cockpit comfortable for 2–3 anglers. It's noticeably more spacious than the 17 CC, with room for a proper livewell, insulated fishbox, and enough deck area for casting without crowding a partner.
The 180 shares its 17'10" x 7'5" hull with the earlier Sportsman 180 (1998–c.2010); Grady White has built it as the Fisherman 180 since about 2011, with the same trailerable simplicity.
Small trailered boats accumulate UV and moisture damage fast between fishing trips. The 180's gel coat, console upholstery, gauges, livewell pump, and wiring are all vulnerable. A Perfect Fit center console cover blocks sun and rain, preventing the deterioration that diminishes both function and resale value on classic small Grady Whites.

Grady White 180 Center Console Boat Cover
The Grady White 180 (Fisherman 180) is a 17’10” center console that brings genuine Grady White quality and ride performance to the small-boat category. At about 2,150 lbs dry weight with a 7’5″ beam, the 180 is powered by a single outboard up to 150 HP and carries 54 gallons of fuel for full-day inshore and nearshore fishing range. The SeaV² hull with 19° deadrise provides a smooth ride in coastal chop, while the center console layout includes rod holders, aerated livewell, insulated fishbox, and a bow casting platform.
Your Grady White 180 requires a Perfect Fit custom center console cover that wraps the entire boat from bow to stern. This full-boat cover creates a smooth, low-profile mound over the vessel — protecting the center console, helm gauges, cockpit surfaces, livewell, and single-engine cowling from UV exposure, rain, and moisture. Solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years) preserves your Grady White 180 through seasons of fishing and trailered storage.
Classic Small Fishing Platform — SeaV² Quality at 18 Feet
The 180 delivers the smooth, dry ride that defines Grady White’s SeaV² hull technology in an 18-foot package. The 19° deadrise handles 1–2 foot chop confidently at about 2,150 lbs, the 15-inch draft accesses flats and skinny water, and a single outboard up to 150 HP provides responsive performance. With 54 gallons of fuel and a complete fishing cockpit, the 180 handles full days on inshore and nearshore waters.
Engineering & Full-Boat Precision Fit
Perfect Fit’s cover engineers custom-measure your 180’s center console dimensions, helm gauge cluster, rod holder positions, livewell location, cleat positions, 7’5″ beam, and single-engine transom to create a precision-fit full-boat cover pattern. The reinforced stitching and hem cord secure the cover at the rubrail, while adjustable tie-down straps attach to the trailer frame for secure trailered storage. The aft section extends into a loose, draped pouch that envelops the single engine cowling as a continuous covering with the lower unit visible below.
