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 225 Tournament is one of the most iconic center consoles ever produced. At 22'5" with an 8'6" beam and 120 gallons of fuel, the 225 T delivered genuine offshore capability in a single-engine package that could be trailered to different fishing grounds. The Tournament designation identifies Grady White's pure fishing machines — boats built without compromise for serious anglers. The 225 T earned a devoted following that continues to drive strong demand in the used market decades after production ended.
The 120-gallon tank is exceptional for a single-engine center console and sets the 225 T apart from competitors. At efficient cruise, the 225 T achieves 225+ miles of range — enough for confident offshore runs to distant reefs, wrecks, and structure 40+ miles from the inlet. This capacity supports all-day trolling, extended bottom-fishing trips, and the freedom to run to multiple spots without refueling. Many owners consider the 225 T's fuel range its defining feature.
The 225 T accommodates a single outboard up to 250 HP. A Yamaha F225 or F250 is the optimal match for the 3,200-lb hull — delivering 35+ mph top speed with strong hole shot and mid-range acceleration. The single-engine configuration keeps operating and maintenance costs at half of twin-engine setups while providing reliable offshore power for the 225 T's extended-range mission.
The 225 T provides a comprehensive offshore fishing platform: large center console with expanded helm station and electronics flat, multiple rod holders along gunwales and leaning post, large aerated livewell, insulated fishboxes with overboard drainage, spacious cockpit for 3–4 anglers, and a bow casting platform with storage. The 8'6" beam creates a stable, roomy deck for fighting fish in offshore swells.
The SeaV² hull with 19° deadrise is exceptionally capable at 22'5". At 3,200 lbs with the 8'6" beam, the 225 T provides a confident, stable ride through 4-foot offshore chop. The hull weight tracks well in following seas, the beam delivers stability during drift fishing in open water, and the deep-V entry keeps spray down in quartering seas. This is a hull that inspires confidence at the offshore fishing grounds.
The 225 T occupies an irreplaceable market position — a 22-foot single-engine center console with 120-gallon range from Grady White. No current-production boat exactly replicates this combination of size, fuel capacity, single-engine simplicity, and Grady White build quality. Well-maintained 225 Ts command prices that reflect this unique positioning, often retaining 50%+ of original value after 20 years.
The 225 T steps up from the 215 in every dimension: one foot longer (22'5" vs. 21'5"), 400 lbs heavier (3,200 vs. 2,800), and 20 gallons more fuel (120 vs. 100). The extra size translates to more cockpit space, a larger console with more electronics capacity, greater stability in offshore seas, and extended range. The 225 T is the natural upgrade for 215 owners ready for more offshore capability.
The 225 T is trailerable but requires commitment. At 22'5" and 3,200 lbs with an 8'6" beam, the 225 T needs a heavy-duty tandem-axle trailer and a full-size truck with adequate towing capacity. The reward for trailering is access to different fishing ports and grounds — the 225 T's 120-gallon range combined with trailering flexibility means you can fish virtually any coastal water within driving distance.
The 225 T's large center console, expanded helm station, electronics flat, leaning post, multiple fishboxes, livewell, and cockpit upholstery all face UV and weather exposure during storage. Classic 225 Ts carry significant replacement costs for these components — gel coat refinishing, console restoration, and upholstery replacement on a boat this size represent substantial investment. A Perfect Fit cover prevents the deterioration that leads to these expenses.
The Tournament designation represents Grady White's purest fishing expression — center consoles designed without compromise for serious anglers. Tournament models prioritize cockpit space, fishing features, fuel range, and offshore capability over family amenities. The 225 T exemplifies this philosophy with its 120-gallon tank, spacious fishing cockpit, and no-nonsense center console layout built to perform at the offshore fishing grounds.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Grady White 225 Tournament Center Console Boat Cover
The Grady White 225 Tournament is a 22’5″ center console that represents the pinnacle of single-engine offshore fishing design. At 3,200 lbs dry weight with an 8’6″ beam, the 225 T runs a single outboard up to 250 HP and carries 120 gallons of fuel for exceptional offshore range — 225+ miles at efficient cruise. The SeaV² hull with 19° deadrise delivers a confident, stable ride in offshore conditions, while the spacious cockpit accommodates 3–4 anglers with a full complement of rod holders, livewells, and fishboxes. The Tournament designation identifies Grady White’s purest fishing platforms, and the 225 T earned legendary status among serious offshore anglers.
Your Grady White 225 T 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 large center console, expanded helm station, cockpit surfaces, and single-engine cowling from UV exposure, rain, and salt air. Solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years) preserves your classic Tournament through years of offshore fishing and storage.
Tournament-Grade Offshore Range — 120 Gallons
The 225 T’s 120-gallon fuel capacity defines its offshore mission. Confident round trips to distant reefs, wrecks, and structure 40+ miles from the inlet, all-day trolling runs without fuel anxiety, and the flexibility to explore multiple fishing grounds in a single trip. At 3,200 lbs with 250 HP, the 225 T delivers 35+ mph cruise while maintaining the fuel efficiency and maintenance simplicity of a single outboard. This is the range that turned the 225 T into a legend.
Precision Engineering & Custom Fit
Perfect Fit’s cover engineers custom-measure your 225 T’s large center console dimensions, expanded helm cluster, rod holder positions, livewell locations, fishbox lids, cleat positions, 8’6″ beam, and single-engine transom to create a precision-fit cover pattern. The 22’5″ length and wide beam require precise pattern engineering for a snug fit that sheds water without pooling. Reinforced stitching and hem cord secure the cover at the rubrail for locked-down offshore protection.
