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 1900 T-Top is considered entry-level due to its compact 19 foot LOA, modest 1,900 lbs dry weight, and 115 HP single-engine rating—these specifications make it more affordable and easier to trailer than larger fishing boats. However, entry-level refers to price and trailering ease, not fishing capability. The 1900 includes aerated livewells, rod holders, a self-bailing cockpit, and sufficient beam (8 feet) to provide stability and fishing platform real estate. Many experienced anglers maintain a 1900 as a second boat specifically for shallow-water fishing, bay tournaments, or casual weekend trips.
The self-bailing cockpit is a specially designed floor with drain holes, typically positioned 2-3 inches above the waterline, that automatically drains rainwater, wave wash, and spray from the fishing platform area. When the boat is moving, water pressure forces any accumulated water through the drain holes back into the lake or ocean. A boat cover protects the self-bailing cockpit by keeping the drain holes clear of debris—leaves, pollen, and salt residue can clog drains and prevent proper water drainage.
The 1900 T-Top typically features 25-35 gallons of livewell capacity distributed across a baitwell and main fish storage livewell, each with independent aeration systems. The baitwell (8-10 gallons) keeps live bait energized with higher aeration flow, while the main livewell (15-25 gallons) maintains larger caught fish in optimal condition. Aeration pump motors, rubber impeller blades, and vinyl tubing are susceptible to UV degradation when exposed to direct sunlight. A boat cover keeps both livewell systems shaded, protecting pump motors from overheating and UV damage.
Lightweight construction creates advantages and design considerations for boat covers. The advantage is that a lighter boat cover will be easier to install and remove, reducing physical strain on a single person. The design consideration is that lightweight boats are more susceptible to wind loading—lighter boats can shift or slide under heavy wind pressure on a cover, especially during trailer storage. Our 1900 T-Top covers feature reinforced corner grommets and integrated storm tie-down straps that distribute wind load evenly, preventing the cover from sliding sideways during windstorms.
The 37-gallon fuel tank is limited because the 1900 prioritizes trailering convenience and shallow-water performance over extended range. With 115 HP, fuel economy is excellent—the 1900 can cruise 80-120+ miles on a full tank depending on speed and sea conditions. For boat cover purposes, the fuel filler cap and vent line are exposed hardware that benefit from protection. A cover keeps the fuel filler cap area dry and prevents saltwater spray from corroding the filler neck.
Shallow ~11 inch draft means the 1900 can fish in water depths where deeper boats run aground. This capability opens access to coastal marshes, river flats, and bay systems that are foundational to inshore fishing in the Southeast and Gulf regions. Shallow draft is achieved through hull design modifications and lightweight construction. These harsh shallow-water conditions increase hull exposure to marine growth and abrasive surfaces. A quality boat cover protects the hull between fishing trips, preventing algae and barnacle settlement.
Trailerable boats are frequently launched and recovered, meaning the boat cover must be installed and removed multiple times per season. For the 1900, this could mean weekly or bi-weekly cover installation/removal during peak fishing season. This frequency makes cover design critical: fastening systems must be durable enough to withstand hundreds of cycles without tearing, zippers must operate smoothly despite salt exposure, and the cover must not snag on trailer lights, winch handles, or bunks during loading.
Solution-dyed marine fabric has pigment integrated into fibers during manufacturing, providing 3-5 years longer UV resistance than traditional canvas. For trailered boats like the 1900 that sit uncovered between trips or are stored outdoors for extended periods, UV protection is essential—direct sunlight degrades canvas covers within 1-2 years, requiring replacement. Solution-dyed fabric resists fading and mildew, maintaining appearance and functionality for 7-10+ years with proper maintenance.
Yes, the NauticStar 1900 T-Top includes the NauticGuard 5-Year + Lifetime Hull Warranty covering the composite hull structure against manufacturing defects and osmotic blistering. The warranty does not cover the boat cover itself, engine, or electronics. However, a quality boat cover protects the hull from direct UV exposure and rain pooling that causes osmotic pressure buildup—conditions that would potentially compromise warranty coverage.
Always remove the boat cover before launching. Install the cover only after recovering the boat and before storing or parking. Installing a cover on a wet boat (immediately after recovery) is acceptable, but ensure the cover is dried within a few days to prevent mildew growth. Do not drive the trailer with the cover installed; wind at highway speeds can damage the cover or cause it to shift unexpectedly. Always secure loose cover edges with bungee cords during transport to prevent billowing.
NauticStar 1900 T-Top Boat Cover — Compact Entry-Level Fishing Platform
The NauticStar 1900 T-Top is the entry point into serious fishing—a compact 19’ center console built in Amory, MS with NauticStar’s 100% wood-free composite hull and backed by the NauticGuard 5-Year + Lifetime Hull Warranty. At just 1,900 lbs dry weight with an 8’0″ beam and ~11″ draft, the 1900 is exceptionally trailerable, allowing anglers with modest tow vehicles to access premium fishing platforms. The 115 HP single-engine rating delivers efficient shallow-water performance while keeping fuel consumption economical for budget-conscious anglers. The self-bailing cockpit design automatically drains rainwater and wave wash, eliminating standing water that would soak tackle and corrode electronics.
Whether launching from a truck-and-trailer setup from your driveway or exploring shallow flats that larger boats cannot reach, your NauticStar 1900 deserves protection matched to its lightweight, high-performance design. A properly fitted boat cover shields the 1900’s aerated livewells from UV damage that degrades aeration systems, protects the self-bailing cockpit floor from salt corrosion and algae buildup, and preserves the rod holders and hardware that make the 1900 a fully-featured fishing boat. Solution-dyed marine fabric provides superior UV resistance for extended trailerable storage.
Classic/Legacy Series — Compact Fishing Platform, Entry Point
