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 222 Fisherman (1999–2008) was positioned as Grady White's premium mid-size center console, bridging the gap between the smaller 180/200 models and the larger 236/280 offshore platforms. At 22'2" and 3,160 lbs with up to 250 HP, it was built for serious saltwater fishing with comfortable day-boat range.
The 222 includes a 28-gallon livewell, 20-quart lift-out transom boxes, integrated fish cleaning station with built-in cutting boards and knife rack, and a fold-down transom bulkhead for maximum fish box access. These features made it exceptionally popular with tournament anglers and commercial charter operations.
No. The 222 is a true center console, with no enclosed cabin or head. It prioritizes open deck space and fishing functionality. The T-Top provides shade and security for electronics, but all facilities are external.
The 222 is still actively fished throughout the Gulf of Mexico, Florida Keys, and coastal waters. Many owners are deeply invested in their boats' maintenance and condition. A quality cover protects the fiberglass, prevents staining from mildew and algae growth, and preserves the resale value—discontinued models often command premium prices if in excellent condition.
The 222 is 1 foot longer and 0.5 feet narrower in beam (8' vs. 8'6"), offering slightly different proportions. The 222 feels "stretched" compared to the stockier 216, giving it a sleeker profile and similar deck area but with a narrower, more linear layout suited to casting and fish station work.
The 222 has a 28-gallon livewell vs. the 216's 25 gallons—a modest difference. The 222's oversized transom fish boxes (20 qt each) compensate for slightly less main livewell volume, making the 222 superior for holding multiple species or tournament live-weigh applications.
The 222's SeaV² variable-degree V-bottom is hand-laid fiberglass (similar construction to the 209), while the newer 216 benefits from molded SeaV² technology. Both hulls perform well, but the molded process offers tighter tolerances and slightly better fuel efficiency. The performance difference is negligible for most recreational fishing.
No. The 222 is 1 foot longer and has slightly different T-Top geometry. A custom fit is essential to ensure proper drainage, secure tie-downs, and coverage without stress to the gunwales and hardware.
The 222 Fisherman, when discontinued, was priced around $55,000–$65,000 (depending on engine and options). Used 222s today typically range $25,000–$40,000 depending on condition, hours, and updates.
The 222's combination of 28-gallon livewell, integrated fish cleaning station, and wide unobstructed deck made it a workhorse for commercial charters and tournament circuits. Even though it's discontinued, many captains keep their boats in service because the fish station and storage configuration rival or exceed newer models.
Custom-Fit Grady White 222 Fisherman T-Top Boat Cover
The Grady White 222 Fisherman (1999–2008) was the brand’s premium mid-size center console — a 22’2″ platform with an 8′ beam, 3,160 lbs dry weight, and a single outboard up to 250 HP (Yamaha 225 standard). Built on the SeaV² variable-degree V-bottom hull with hand-laid fiberglass and foam flotation, the 222 packed features that competitors couldn’t match: a 28-gallon livewell, 20-quart lift-out transom boxes, integrated fish cleaning station with cutting boards and knife rack, fold-down transom bulkhead, and a 96-gallon fuel tank for extended offshore range. This was the center console that tournament anglers and charter captains chose for its unmatched fishing functionality. Our custom T-Top cover protects this proven platform with fitted cutouts for T-Top support legs, reinforced stitching at high-stress areas, and your choice of 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric or Sunbrella acrylic.
Installation takes approximately 40 minutes with two people. The cover secures with adjustable tie-down straps and a hem cord beneath the rubrail, while the aft section drapes loosely over the outboard with cinch straps for breathable protection.
Tournament-Proven, Time-Tested — Why the 222 Still Commands Respect
Despite being discontinued since 2008, the 222 Fisherman remains actively fished throughout the Gulf of Mexico, Florida Keys, and Atlantic coastal waters. Its 28-gallon livewell, integrated fish cleaning station, and wide unobstructed cockpit made it the boat of choice for serious tournament circuits and commercial charter operations — and many captains keep their 222s in service because the fish station and storage configuration rival or exceed newer models. A quality cover protects the fiberglass from UV oxidation and color fading, prevents mildew and algae staining, and preserves the resale value that discontinued Grady White models consistently maintain. Solution-dyed marine fabric delivers 5–7 years of reliable protection, while Sunbrella acrylic extends to 8–10 years.
Custom Patterning for a Legendary Layout
The 222’s unique proportions — 1 foot longer than the current 216 but half a foot narrower in beam — create a sleek, linear deck layout optimized for casting and fish station work. This means covers designed for the 216 will not fit properly. Our custom pattern accounts for the 222’s specific T-Top geometry, transom box positions, fish cleaning station clearance, and fold-down bulkhead mechanism. At approximately 40 lbs, the cover requires two people for comfortable installation, and the 8′ beam makes the process manageable for most owner teams.
