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
Center Console is our cover maker's name for the full-coverage style, made for any boat without a T-top or hardtop. It covers the whole boat from bow to stern and rubrail to rubrail, windshield and engine included. If your boat has a T-top or hardtop, you want our T-Top style instead, which fits up under the top.
It's patterned for the Key West 239 DFS dual console without a hardtop. The 239 FS shares the hull but has a single console, and the smaller 203 DFS is a different boat; each has its own pattern.
Check the model on your registration or the builder's plate and measure the overall length and beam: the factory lists it at 23'9" long with an 8'6" beam. Current 239 DFS boats come with a built-in hardtop, so please also tell us whether yours has one. Send us your model year, length, beam and console type (single console or dual console, and any T-top, hardtop or poling platform), plus a photo if the boat has been modified, and we'll confirm the fit before you order.
Yes. The cover runs to the stern, wraps the molded swim platform with the ladder folded up, and closes around the single outboard.
Choose 9oz solution-dyed polyester (Navy or Black) for heavy-duty everyday protection, or premium Sunbrella acrylic (Marine Blue, Black, or Smoke) for maximum UV resistance and longevity.
No. The cover is made to protect your boat while it is parked on its trailer, up on a lift or in storage. Take it off before you tow: trailering with the cover on can damage it and voids the warranty.
Materials and workmanship are covered for 1 year, and the fabric carries its own warranty (5 years on 9oz and 6 years on Sunbrella). Every cover is made to order, so please allow 1–3 weeks; shipping is a $30 flat rate within the continental US.
Pricing: 9oz $1,135.00 · Sunbrella $1,335.00 — your final total appears below as you build your cover.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Key West 239 DFS Center Console Boat Cover — Custom-Fit for the Key West 239 DFS Dual Console
Key West Boats builds saltwater fishing boats in Ridgeville, South Carolina; the company says Hutch Holseberg has been working since 1986 to build a high-quality, good-value mid-sized fishing boat, and it is still privately owned. Every hull uses no-wood construction with a foam-injected fiberglass stringer system, and the builder foam-fills its 20-foot and larger models for level, upright flotation. The 239 DFS (Dual Family Sportsman) is the largest dual console in Key West’s lineup, built on the same 23’9″ stepped hull as the 239 FS, with listed boats from about 2015 to current models. The factory lists it at 23’9″ long with an 8’6″ beam, about 2,900 lb, a stepped 19/24-degree deadrise, a 14-inch draft and a 100-gallon tank, rated for up to 300 hp (200 to 250 hp recommended) and nine people. It has a curved walk-through windshield across both consoles, bow cushions with storage, a captain’s chair and back-to-back lounge, a wraparound cockpit bench, a sink and a potty room in the console, a fresh water shower and a molded swim platform with a telescoping ladder. This full cover is patterned for the 239 DFS without a top, and like all of our Key West boat covers, it’s cut to this hull rather than a generic 24-foot size chart.
How It Fits the 239 DFS
On a dual console the cover clears a full-width windshield rather than a single console, so it rises over the windshield and both consoles, slopes forward over the bow seating, and falls aft over the helm seats and wraparound bench to the rubrail along the 8’6″ beam. At the stern it wraps the swim platform and closes around the single outboard. Close the walk-through panel before covering so the fabric sits evenly. Installation takes about five minutes: drape it bow to stern, run the hem cord along the rubrail, and cinch the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs. It’s made for storage on a trailer, lift, dry stack, or jet dock — take it off before towing, since trailering with the cover on can damage it and voids the warranty.
Hardtop or No Top
The hardtop was an option on earlier 239 DFS boats and is built in on current models. This full cover is for boats without one; if your 239 DFS has the hardtop, you need our T-Top style, which fits up under the top.
Fabric, Warranty & Shipping
Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for heavy-duty everyday protection (5–7 year service life) or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of fade resistance. Both are water-repellent, breathable, mildew-resistant, and double-stitched at the seams. Each cover is backed by our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 5 years on 9oz and 6 years on Sunbrella) and ships for a $30 flat rate within the US — every cover is made to order, so please allow 1–3 weeks. With the hardtop, see our Key West 239 DFS T-Top cover; for the single-console version, see our full cover for the Key West 239 FS.
