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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — this cover is pattern-cut specifically for the Key West 225 BR hull with a T-Top. It wraps the hull below the hardtop, with fitted cutouts for the T-Top support legs so the hardtop stays exposed above.
No. The cover is designed to work with the T-Top in place. The support legs pass through fitted cutouts in the fabric. You never need to remove the hardtop.
The cover wraps everything below the T-Top — the center console, helm electronics, seating, gunwales, and outboard engine. The T-Top hardtop itself remains exposed above the cover.
Two options: our heavy-duty 9oz solution-dyed polyester (the most popular choice for its durability and value) or premium Sunbrella acrylic canvas (the best option for maximum UV resistance and breathability). Both are solution-dyed for permanent colorfastness.
Yes. The cover extends past the transom and fully encloses the outboard engine. No separate engine cover needed — the main cover slopes down from the T-Top frame and wraps around the motor.
Yes. The T-Top cover is designed for use on boat lifts, at the dock, and in dry storage. The adjustable tie-down straps keep the cover secure in wind.
About 15 minutes with one person. Thread the T-Top legs through the cutouts, drape from bow to stern, cinch the hem cord, and secure the straps.
No — the 225 BR has been discontinued. However, our cover is still manufactured to fit its specific hull dimensions. We continue producing covers for discontinued models.
The T-Top cover slopes downward from the hardtop frame like a tent, which naturally sheds rain to both sides. The peaked shape prevents pooling better than flat covers.
The cover is available in Navy, Black, and Charcoal. All three colors are solution-dyed for permanent colorfastness.
Key West 225 BR T-Top Cover — Custom Hull Protection for a Mid-Size Bay Boat
The Key West 225 BR slots right between the 210 and 230 in the Bay Reef lineup — a 22-foot bay boat with the beam, stability, and shallow draft that made the Bay Reef series a favorite among inshore anglers. Our custom-fitted T-Top cover wraps the entire hull below the hardtop — the center console, gunwales, seating, and outboard engine — while leaving the fiberglass T-Top fully exposed above. At roughly 22 feet 5 inches long with an 8-foot-6-inch beam and around 2,100 pounds dry, the 225 BR offers a roomy platform that our cover is pattern-cut to match precisely.
The T-Top’s support legs pass through fitted cutouts in the cover fabric, creating a clean transition between the covered hull and the exposed hardtop. The cover slopes downward from the T-Top frame like a tent, draping smoothly to the bow and stern. At the stern, the fabric extends past the transom to fully enclose the outboard engine. A hem cord cinches along the rubrail while the bottom edge reaches nearly to the waterline.
Marine-Grade Fabric for Saltwater Bay Boats
Bay boats live hard — shallow flats, salt spray, relentless sun. Choose our heavy-duty 9oz solution-dyed polyester — the most popular option for its rugged durability and colorfastness — or upgrade to premium Sunbrella acrylic canvas for the best UV resistance and breathability available. Both fabrics are solution-dyed through the entire fiber, so color stays locked in permanently through years of exposure.
Quick One-Person Installation
Installation takes about 15 minutes with one person. Thread the T-Top legs through the fitted cutouts, drape the cover from bow to stern, then secure with the included hem cord and adjustable tie-down straps. The cover stays locked in place on boat lifts, at the dock, and in dry storage.
