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 25 Sailfish was Grady White's flagship walkaround cabin model, featuring overnight cruising capability with a forward V-berth, enclosed head, and galley. At 25 feet with a 9'4" beam and hand-laid fiberglass hull, it was designed for serious anglers and cruisers who needed both comfort and fishing functionality. The teak and holly sole and quality cabin appointments made it one of Grady White's most feature-rich models of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
While the cabin provides interior protection, the exposed deck area, walkaround gunwales, and exterior cabin surfaces are exposed to UV, salt spray, mildew, and debris. A cover protects the teak sole, maintains the cabin finish, and shields the T-Top and outrigger arms from deterioration. Most owners of this boat value the interior appointments enough to invest in hull and deck protection.
Our cover is custom-fitted for the 25 Sailfish's walkaround layout, with reinforced seams at high-wear areas and cutouts for the T-Top support legs. The straps secure under the rubrail on both sides of the hull, accommodating the walkaround deck design without bunching or sagging.
For saltwater use, solution-dyed marine fabric is more budget-friendly and offers excellent durability (5–7 years typical life). Sunbrella acrylic lasts longer (8–10 years) and resists mildew better in high-humidity or shaded storage. Given the Sailfish's premium cabin, many owners choose Sunbrella for longevity and aesthetics.
No. All T-Top covers are designed for moored, docked, or trailered stationary use. The cover should be removed before operating the vessel to maintain visibility, safety, and airflow.
Fresh water rinse every 2–3 weeks in saltwater environments, or after periods of heavy rain or dust. Use mild soap and a soft brush for mildew or staining. Avoid pressure washers, which can force water under the seams.
Yes, our cover accommodates standard outrigger configurations on the 25 Sailfish. If you have custom riggers, notify our team during the quote process so we can adjust the fit accordingly.
Twin Mercury or Yamaha 200 HP motors (the typical powerplant) are approximately 24" wide per motor. The cover's aft section includes ample clearance for both engines and the transom gap. Your cover includes tie-down straps that secure the cover without contacting the engines.
Solution-dyed fabric lasts 5–7 years with regular maintenance; Sunbrella can last 8–10+ years. The actual lifespan depends on UV exposure, storage, climate, and whether the boat is kept in shade or sunlight.
Yes. The Sailfish's fiberglass hull doesn't degrade significantly over time when out of water, and the design is consistent across the production run. We recommend a professional measurement to ensure the best fit, especially if the hull has warped or been repaired.
Custom-Fit Grady White 25 Sailfish T-Top Boat Cover
The Grady White 25 Sailfish was the brand’s flagship walkaround cabin model of the late 1980s and early 1990s — a 25-foot, 9’4″ beam cruiser-fisher built on a hand-laid fiberglass hull with a pre-SeaV² variable-degree V-bottom design inspired by C. Raymond Hunt’s legendary naval architecture. Powered by twin outboards producing up to 400 HP total and carrying 185 gallons of fuel, the 25 Sailfish delivered serious offshore range with overnight cruising capability thanks to its forward V-berth, enclosed head, galley, and teak and holly cabin sole. At approximately 5,500 lbs dry weight, this was a substantial vessel that demanded equally substantial protection. Our custom-fitted T-Top cover wraps the entire hull below the hardtop, with reinforced cutouts for the T-Top support legs and walkaround railings, using either 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric or premium Sunbrella acrylic to shield every exposed surface from UV, salt spray, and seasonal weather.
Installation takes approximately 45 minutes with two people and requires no special tools — the cover secures with adjustable tie-down straps and a hem cord that locks beneath the rubrail on both sides of the walkaround deck. The aft section drapes loosely over both outboard engines like a bedsheet, with cinch straps gathering the fabric at the base for a secure but non-abrasive fit that protects your powerplant without trapping moisture.
Protecting a Classic — Why the 25 Sailfish Deserves Premium Coverage
As a discontinued model from the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Grady White 25 Sailfish has become a sought-after classic in the walkaround cabin market. The teak and holly cabin sole, quality galley appointments, and premium interior finishes that defined this era of Grady White craftsmanship are irreplaceable — and increasingly expensive to restore. UV exposure degrades fiberglass gel coat, fades upholstery, and accelerates teak deterioration, while salt spray promotes corrosion on hardware and outrigger fittings. A properly fitted cover eliminates these threats during storage, extending the structural and cosmetic life of the boat by years. Solution-dyed marine fabric provides 5–7 years of reliable protection in most climates, while Sunbrella acrylic extends coverage to 8–10+ years with superior mildew resistance — a worthwhile investment for a boat of this heritage and value.
Engineered for the Walkaround Layout
The 25 Sailfish’s walkaround cabin design presents unique covering challenges that generic boat covers cannot address. Our custom pattern accounts for the elevated cabin profile, side railings, T-Top support leg positions, and the transition from the wide foredeck to the narrower walkaround gunwales. Reinforced seams at high-wear contact points prevent chafing where the cover meets railings and hardware, while the overall dome shape maintains positive drainage to prevent water pooling. The cover accommodates standard outrigger configurations, and custom adjustments are available for aftermarket rigger setups — just notify our team during the measurement and quote process.
