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
The 23 DV cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed marine polyester, 7oz solution-dyed polyester, and premium Sunbrella acrylic. All solution-dyed — color permanently fused into the fiber — for fade resistance that handles the offshore UV and salt exposure the deep-vee hull is built for.
Yes. Pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts around the T-Top legs. The fabric wraps the 23 DV's deep-vee hull below the hardtop while the white fiberglass roof stays exposed. This is a different pattern than the 23 SE — the deep-vee hull has a sharper deadrise and different freeboard profile.
Under 5 minutes solo, no tools. Drape from bow over console and T-Top legs, secure with hem cord and adjustable straps. The 23 DV's ~23' length and ~8'6" beam are manageable for one person.
Yes. Reinforced at all stress points for highway-speed trailering. At ~3,500 pounds dry, the 23 DV is a common trailer boat and this cover handles repeated trips without loosening.
Complete barrier over the 23 DV's helm station, GPS/fishfinder, rod holders, leaning post, and all seating. UV, rain, salt spray, and debris blocked while breathable fabric prevents mildew underneath.
2-year manufacturer warranty on materials and workmanship. Fabrics rated 5-10 years depending on selection.
Water-resistant with DWR finish. Breathable to prevent mildew — important for the 23 DV's electronics during storage between offshore trips.
No. The 23 DV and 23 SE have different hull shapes — the DV has a sharper deep-vee deadrise while the SE uses a 14° modified-V. Each gets its own custom pattern for precise fit.
9oz: Navy, Black, Charcoal. Sunbrella: expanded palette. All solution-dyed for permanent fade resistance.
Flat $30 per cover, continental US. Ships within 1-2 business days in a protective storage bag.
Parker 23 DV T-Top Boat Cover — Deep-Vee Offshore Confidence
The Parker 23 DV measures approximately 23′ overall with an 8’6″ beam and roughly 3,500 pounds dry — Parker Boats’ 23-foot deep-vee center console that trades the SE’s shallow-water access for a sharper hull entry angle designed to cut through offshore chop and inlet swells. Built in Beaufort, North Carolina with Parker’s signature solid fiberglass hull construction — hand-laid with isophthalic polyester resin, no coring materials — the 23 DV handles up to 250 horsepower with approximately 90 gallons of fuel. The deeper deadrise means this Parker stays composed in seas that would have shallower modified-V hulls pounding, making it the choice for anglers who prioritize offshore comfort over skinny-water access. A custom-fitted cover from Perfect Fit Boat Covers keeps this offshore-capable platform sealed between trips.
Pattern-Cut for the Deep-Vee Hull Profile
This cover is cut specifically for the Parker 23 DV’s deeper deadrise hull shape — which has higher freeboard and a different entry angle than the SE models. The fabric wraps the solid fiberglass hull below the hardtop with reinforced cutouts around the T-Top legs, while the white fiberglass hardtop roof stays fully exposed. A hem cord and adjustable tie-down straps secure the cover for trailering at highway speeds. Installation takes under five minutes solo. The offshore flagship is the Parker 2801 T-Top boat cover, covering the 28-foot twin-engine platform that runs the Gulf Stream out of Beaufort Inlet.
Solid Fiberglass, Solid Protection
Parker’s solid fiberglass hull construction — no wood, no balsa core, no materials that absorb water over time — means the 23 DV’s hull integrity improves with age rather than degrades. Your cover should be equally durable. Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for 5-7 years of UV and salt resistance, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8-10 years. Both are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and breathable. Reinforced seams handle trailering. Every cover ships with a 2-year warranty within 1-2 business days. For the compact entry-level Parker, the Parker 1801 T-Top boat cover covers the 18-footer with the same Beaufort-built quality.
