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 22 Seafarer (Tournament 225 Seafarer) is one of the most versatile center consoles Grady White has built. At 22'5" with an 8'6" beam, the Seafarer provides enough size for comfortable offshore fishing while remaining trailerable with a single engine. The 100-gallon fuel capacity extends range well beyond what smaller models offer, and the SeaV² hull with 19° deadrise delivers a confident ride in offshore conditions.
The jump from 60 gallons (on the 20 Adventure) to 100 gallons on the 22 Seafarer transforms range and capability. At cruise, the Seafarer achieves 200+ miles of range — enough for round trips to offshore reefs and wrecks 30–40 miles from the inlet. This capacity eliminates fuel anxiety on full-day offshore trips and supports extended trolling runs.
The Seafarer provides a complete fishing platform: center console with full helm station and electronics mounting, multiple rod holders, large aerated livewell, insulated fishboxes with overboard drainage, spacious cockpit for 3–4 anglers, bow casting platform, and enough gunwale height for comfortable leaning during long days offshore. The 8'6" beam creates a stable fishing platform at rest.
The 22 Seafarer accommodates a single outboard up to 250 HP. A Yamaha F200 or F250 provides the ideal balance — 40+ mph top speed, strong fuel efficiency at cruise, and the power to handle offshore conditions at 3,000 lbs displacement. Single-engine simplicity keeps maintenance costs manageable.
At 22'5" and 3,000 lbs with 19° deadrise, the Seafarer handles 3–4 foot seas with confidence. The SeaV² hull's sharp entry slices through chop rather than pounding, and the wider aft sections provide stability at rest. This is a genuine offshore hull in a mid-size package — capable of comfortable fishing in conditions that would turn back smaller boats.
Yes, though it requires a tandem-axle trailer and a capable tow vehicle. At 22'5" and 3,000 lbs with an 8'6" beam, the Seafarer is manageable for experienced trailerers with a full-size truck or SUV. Many owners keep the Seafarer on a trailer for the flexibility to fish different coastal regions.
The 22'5" length and 8'6" beam create a cockpit that comfortably accommodates 3–4 anglers fishing simultaneously. Compared to the 20 Adventure, the Seafarer adds significant cockpit volume, more fishbox capacity, a larger livewell, and additional rod storage. The extra beam provides noticeably more elbow room.
The Seafarer adds 2 feet of length, 6 inches of beam, 40 gallons of fuel, and up to 50 more horsepower. This translates to better offshore capability, longer range, a more spacious cockpit, and a more stable fishing platform. The 20 Adventure is the better choice for pure inshore and nearshore fishing; the 22 Seafarer extends your reach to serious offshore waters.
The full center console cover wraps the entire boat — console, helm, cockpit, fishboxes, livewell, and engine cowling — under one continuous piece of fabric. This blocks the UV exposure and moisture that deteriorate gel coat, upholstery, gauges, and wiring. For trailered boats sitting between fishing trips, a cover prevents more damage than any other single maintenance investment.
The 22 Seafarer exemplifies Grady White's build standards — hand-laid fiberglass, foam-filled hull, stainless steel hardware, quality gel coat, and precision-fitted components. These construction details mean the Seafarer outlasts competitors and holds resale value for decades. A Perfect Fit cover preserves this quality by protecting every surface from environmental damage.

Grady White 22 Seafarer Center Console Boat Cover
The Grady White 22 Seafarer (Tournament 225 Seafarer) is a 22’5″ center console that punches well above its size class for offshore fishing capability. At 3,000 lbs dry weight with an 8’6″ beam, the Seafarer is powered by a single outboard up to 250 HP and carries 100 gallons of fuel for 200+ miles of offshore range. The SeaV² hull with 19° deadrise handles 3–4 foot seas at 3,000 lbs, while the spacious cockpit accommodates 3–4 anglers with rod holders, aerated livewell, insulated fishboxes, and a bow casting platform.
Your Grady White 22 Seafarer 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, fishbox lids, livewell, and single-engine cowling from UV exposure, rain, and salt spray. Solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years) preserves your Seafarer through seasons of offshore fishing.
Mid-Size Offshore — 100 Gallons of Range
The 22 Seafarer’s 100-gallon fuel capacity is the defining upgrade over smaller Grady White center consoles. Combined with a fuel-efficient single outboard, this range supports round trips to offshore reefs and wrecks 30–40 miles from port — territory that smaller boats with 60-gallon tanks cannot reach comfortably. The SeaV² hull handles the offshore conditions you’ll encounter on those trips, and the 8’6″ beam creates a stable platform for drift fishing and anchoring.
Engineering & Full-Boat Precision Fit
Perfect Fit’s cover engineers custom-measure your 22 Seafarer’s center console profile, helm cluster, rod holder positions, livewell, fishbox lids, cleat locations, 8’6″ 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 distribute tension evenly across the beam. 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.
