Additional information
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.
*The warranty periods above are provided by the fabric manufacturer and cover the material itself. For details on what’s included in the warranty for your completed cover, please see our warranty page.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 235 Freedom is a dual-console design—helm and passenger consoles on opposite sides with a walk-through windshield. This layout creates a protected cockpit for passengers, enclosed head compartment, and dedicated seating areas that center consoles lack. The Freedom series is engineered for families who want fishing capability without sacrificing passenger comfort and weather protection.
Perfect Fit's custom pattern accounts for the 235's dual consoles, walk-through windshield, and the open deck between helm and passenger sides. The cover wraps around both console structures without binding against windshield posts or creating stress points, while maintaining clean coverage over the protected cockpit area.
Both. The 235 delivers genuine fishing capability with a 15.5-gallon livewell, multiple rod holders, dedicated rod storage racks, and swim platforms with transom door for easy fish landing. The 100-gallon fuel capacity and single 350 HP Yamaha F350 provide serious offshore range. It's designed for families who fish—not a compromise in either direction.
The Yamaha F350 pushes the 4,050-lb Freedom 235 to approximately 45 mph cruise speed with excellent fuel efficiency. The 100-gallon fuel capacity delivers 200+ miles of range at cruise, making the 235 capable of day trips well offshore. The single-engine setup reduces maintenance costs compared to twin configurations.
The 235's enclosed head is built into the passenger-side console with a lockable door, providing privacy and convenience for family cruising. The compartment includes a marine head with holding tank and dedicated ventilation. Perfect Fit's cover pattern accounts for head plumbing vents to ensure proper airflow during covered storage.
Yes. Integrated swim platforms with a transom door are standard, providing easy water access for swimming, snorkeling, or fish landing. The platforms fold or integrate flush with the transom, and Perfect Fit's cover wraps cleanly around the platform structure without obstruction.
The 20° deadrise provides a smooth, confident ride in 3–4 foot seas—sharper entry than many dual consoles in this size range. Combined with the SeaV² hull design, the 235 handles rough water better than most family boats, making it comfortable for passengers while maintaining the performance anglers need.
Yes. The dual-console layout with dedicated forward, aft, and side seating positions is rated for 10 passengers. The walk-through windshield creates a protected cockpit, and optional features like the wet bar and retractable transom lounge seat make the 235 an excellent entertaining platform.
The 235 includes a freshwater cockpit shower for rinsing gear, bait, and swimmers. The freshwater tank supplies the shower and optional wet bar sink. Perfect Fit's cover protects the freshwater plumbing, shower hardware, and deck-mounted fittings from UV degradation and salt corrosion.
The 255 adds 1'2" of length, twin-engine capability (400 HP max), larger fuel capacity (135 gallons), a 27-gallon livewell (vs. 15.5), and a 175-qt fishbox. The 235 is the entry point to the Freedom line—lighter, more fuel-efficient with single-engine power, and easier to trailer. Choose the 235 for day trips and coastal cruising; the 255 for extended offshore capability.
Grady White 235 Freedom T-Top Boat Cover
The Grady White 235 Freedom is a 23’7″ dual-console family fishing platform that delivers the best of both worlds—passenger comfort and genuine offshore fishing capability. At 4,050 lbs dry weight with an 8’6″ beam, the 235 is powered by a single Yamaha F350 (max 350 HP) and carries 100 gallons of fuel for 200+ miles of offshore range. The dual-console layout features a walk-through windshield, enclosed head with holding tank, 15.5-gallon livewell, multiple rod holders and storage racks, integrated swim platforms with transom door, freshwater cockpit shower, and seating for 10—making the 235 the entry point to Grady White’s premium Freedom series.
Your 235 Freedom deserves a Perfect Fit custom T-Top cover engineered specifically for dual-console geometry. Our cover wraps the full hull below the hardtop, protecting both consoles, the walk-through windshield, enclosed head plumbing, livewell, swim platform hardware, and upholstered seating from UV exposure, salt spray, and moisture. Solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years) preserves your family platform through seasons of coastal cruising, weekend fishing, or marina storage.
Dual-Console Family Fishing Design
The 235 Freedom represents Grady White’s philosophy that families shouldn’t have to choose between fishing and cruising. The dual-console configuration with walk-through windshield creates a protected cockpit that shields passengers from wind and spray, while the enclosed head and freshwater shower provide the amenities families need for full-day outings. The SeaV² hull with 20° deadrise delivers a smooth ride in rough water, and the single 350 HP Yamaha F350 provides responsive power with simple single-engine maintenance.
Engineering & Dual-Console Precision Fit
Perfect Fit’s cover engineers custom-measure your 235’s dual consoles, walk-through windshield posts, head plumbing vents, swim platform hinges, livewell positioning, and rubrail geometry to create an exact-fit pattern. The reinforced stitching and hem cord secure the cover at the rubrail, while adjustable tie-down straps distribute tension evenly across the 8’6″ beam. The result is a wrinkle-free cover that protects console upholstery, windshield gaskets, and fishing hardware without binding against the dual-console structure.
