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 191 Coastal Explorer is Grady White's newest compact center console, purpose-built for versatile coastal fishing. At 19'1" with an 8'0" beam, the 191 CE combines the nimble handling of a sub-20-foot boat with genuine Grady White offshore DNA. The Coastal Explorer name reflects this dual personality — equally at home running backwater flats and venturing to nearshore reefs and wrecks.
The 191 CE provides a complete fishing package: center console with full helm station, multiple flush-mount rod holders, aerated livewell, insulated fishbox with overboard drainage, and a cockpit designed to accommodate 2–3 anglers comfortably. The bow area offers additional seating and storage, and the 12-inch draft opens up skinny water fishing that larger center consoles cannot access.
The 191 CE accommodates a single outboard up to 150 HP. A Yamaha F150 is the standard choice, delivering 30+ mph top speed with excellent fuel economy. Combined with 66 gallons of fuel, the 191 CE achieves impressive range for a 19-footer — enough for full-day trips to nearshore fishing grounds 15–20 miles out.
The SeaV² hull with 19° deadrise provides a dry, comfortable ride in coastal chop. At 2,375 lbs, the 191 CE has enough weight to track well in a head sea while remaining light enough for responsive handling in tight quarters. The deep-V entry softens wave impact, while the wider aft sections provide stability at rest during drift fishing.
The 191 Coastal Explorer is Grady White's most accessible current-production center console. It delivers the signature SeaV² hull, premium fit-and-finish, and fishing-focused layout that define the brand — at a size and price point that makes Grady White ownership attainable. The single-engine configuration keeps operating costs manageable while the 66-gallon fuel capacity provides legitimate range.
The 191 CE center console model has no T-Top or hardtop structure. The center console cover is a single continuous piece of fabric that covers the entire boat from bow to stern — the console, helm, cockpit, and single-engine cowling are all enclosed under one smooth, low-profile mound. Grady White also makes a 191 CE with a T-Top, which requires a different cover design.
The 191 CE represents a generational leap over the Tournament 180 and 180 Sportsman. At 19'1" (versus 18'0"), the Coastal Explorer offers more cockpit space, greater fuel capacity (66 vs. 40 gallons), higher weight for a more comfortable ride, and a modernized layout with updated console design and fishability features. The extra foot of length adds meaningful capability.
Very manageable for trailering. At 19'1" and 2,375 lbs with an 8'0" beam, the 191 CE tows behind most SUVs and mid-size trucks on a single-axle trailer. The sub-20-foot length fits comfortably in standard garage bays and storage spaces. Solo launching and retrieval is practical at any boat ramp.
Current-production boats carry higher replacement costs for gel coat, upholstery, electronics, and factory components. The 191 CE's modern console with flush-mount electronics, premium leaning post, and factory upholstery represent significant investment. A Perfect Fit cover shields these surfaces from UV degradation, rain, bird droppings, and pollen — preserving factory condition and resale value.
The Coastal Explorer name designates Grady White's versatile coastal fishing lineup — boats designed to transition seamlessly between inshore flats, nearshore structure, and inlet running. The 191 CE anchors this series at the compact end, with larger Coastal Explorer models available in both center console and T-Top configurations up to 28+ feet.
Grady White 191 Coastal Explorer Center Console Boat Cover
The Grady White 191 Coastal Explorer is a current-production 19’1″ center console that delivers genuine Grady White offshore DNA in a compact, trailerable package. At 2,375 lbs dry weight with an 8’0″ beam, the 191 CE runs a single outboard up to 150 HP and carries 66 gallons of fuel for full-day coastal fishing range. The SeaV² hull with 19° deadrise provides a smooth, dry ride in chop, while the center console layout offers rod holders, aerated livewell, insulated fishbox, and enough cockpit space for 2–3 anglers. The 12-inch draft accesses shallow flats, backwater creeks, and nearshore reefs.
Your Grady White 191 CE 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 electronics, cockpit surfaces, and single-engine cowling from UV exposure, rain, and environmental damage. Solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years) preserves your Coastal Explorer through seasons of coastal fishing and trailered storage.
Coastal Explorer Versatility — Flats to Nearshore
The 191 CE lives up to its Coastal Explorer name. The 12-inch draft reaches skinny water flats and creeks, the SeaV² hull handles nearshore chop at 2,375 lbs, and 66 gallons of fuel provides range for full-day trips 15–20 miles offshore. A single outboard up to 150 HP delivers 30+ mph cruise, and the trailerable 19’1″ footprint lets you launch at any ramp and fish different waters every weekend. This is Grady White’s most nimble current-production center console.
Precision Engineering & Custom Fit
Perfect Fit’s cover engineers custom-measure your 191 CE’s console dimensions, helm cluster, rod holder positions, livewell location, cleat positions, 8’0″ beam, and single-engine transom to create a precision-fit cover pattern. Reinforced stitching and hem cord secure the cover at the rubrail, while adjustable tie-down straps attach to the trailer frame for locked-down trailered storage. Every feature — from the bow eye to the transom — is accounted for in the pattern.
