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
We offer three fabric tiers for the 2300 HPS. The 7 oz polyester provides lightweight protection for boats stored under cover. The 9 oz solution-dyed polyester — our most popular choice — delivers superior UV resistance and mildew protection rated for 5 to 7 years. The premium Sunbrella acrylic upgrade extends that to 8 to 10 years, making it the top recommendation for the 2300 HPS given the Florida sun exposure this high-performance bay boat typically endures.
Yes — the cover is custom-patterned with reinforced cutouts that wrap precisely around the 2300 HPS's factory T-Top support legs. The fabric attaches at the underside edge of the T-Top hardtop, then drapes down around the support posts and extends to the hull's chine. The hardtop remains fully exposed on top while everything below — console, leaning post, cockpit, and the stepped hull sides — is enclosed. Reinforced binding at each cutout prevents fraying.
Installation takes under five minutes working solo. Drape the cover over the T-Top frame from the hardtop attachment points, letting the fabric fall around the support legs. Pull forward to the bow and aft to the transom, then down each side. Secure the hem cord along the rub rail and fasten the adjustable tie-down straps underneath. The cover is patterned to the 2300 HPS's 23'6" length and VARIS hull contours, so everything seats into position naturally.
Absolutely. The cover is reinforced at every high-stress point with double-stitched seams that handle highway-speed wind loads. The 2300 HPS's relatively light rigged weight of around 3,075 pounds makes it one of the most frequently trailered performance bay boats in its class. The adjustable strap system cinches tight to prevent billowing, and the hem cord locks along the rub rail for a secure seal during transit.
The cover creates a complete barrier over every exposed surface below the T-Top hardtop. The 2300 HPS's helm electronics, fishfinder display, VHF radio, leaning post, rod holders, livewells, and all cockpit upholstery are fully enclosed. The Pathfinder's premium vacuum-infused VARIS construction gives the hull and interior surfaces a factory finish worth protecting — UV rays, rain, salt spray, and bird droppings are completely blocked.
Every cover includes a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship — stitching failures, fabric delamination, hardware corrosion, and snap or buckle breakage. This applies whether your 2300 HPS is stored on a trailer, boat lift, or at a dock. The 9 oz fabric delivers 5 to 7 years of protection, and the Sunbrella upgrade extends that to 8 to 10 years.
The cover is water-resistant with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that causes rain and spray to bead and roll off. It is intentionally not sealed waterproof — a fully sealed cover would trap moisture underneath and promote mildew on the 2300 HPS's upholstery and gel coat, particularly in the humid Florida climate where most Pathfinders live. The breathable construction allows air circulation while blocking direct water contact.
The cover is patterned to fit the standard-production Pathfinder 2300 HPS with a factory T-Top. Maverick Boat Group has maintained the 2300 HPS's core dimensions and VARIS stepped-hull design consistently since the model's introduction. If your boat has significant aftermarket modifications that change the hull profile, contact us to confirm fitment before ordering.
The 9 oz solution-dyed polyester is available in Navy, Black, and Charcoal. The 7 oz option offers the same three colors at a lighter weight. Upgrading to Sunbrella acrylic unlocks Captain Navy, Pacific Blue, Forest Green, and additional marine-grade shades. All fabrics use solution-dyed fiber where pigment is embedded during manufacturing, providing long-lasting UV fade resistance.
Shipping is a flat rate of $30 per cover to anywhere in the continental United States. Orders typically ship within 1 to 2 business days via ground carrier. The cover arrives with all mounting hardware — stainless steel snaps, adjustable tie-down straps, hem cord, and T-Top attachment fittings — ready for immediate installation on your 2300 HPS.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Pathfinder 2300 HPS T-Top Boat Cover — High Performance Stepped-Hull Protection
The Pathfinder 2300 HPS is a 23’6″ high-performance bay boat from Maverick Boat Group in Fort Pierce, Florida — the first Pathfinder built with a vacuum-infused (VARIS) stepped hull that prioritizes speed, efficiency, and a lighter overall weight. At roughly 3,075 pounds rigged with a VF250, the 2300 HPS carries 61 gallons of fuel, handles up to 300 horsepower, and drafts just 12 inches — shallow enough for backcountry flats access with the kind of top-end speed that gets you to the offshore numbers before the competition. This is Pathfinder’s answer to the question of whether a bay boat can double as a performance machine. A custom-fitted cover protects that investment — the center console boat covers experts at Perfect Fit pattern-cut every panel to the 2300 HPS’s specific dimensions.
Tailored to the 2300 HPS’s Stepped-Hull Design
The stepped hull changes everything about how this boat sits on a trailer compared to conventional Pathfinders — and this cover is engineered for that exact profile. The fabric wraps beneath the T-Top hardtop, which stays exposed, and covers the center console, leaning post, walk-around gunwales, livewells, insulated fish boxes, and rod storage arrays. Reinforced cutouts around the T-Top legs create a tight, rattle-free seal, and the strap-and-buckle system lets one person install the cover in under five minutes. The hem cord locks along the rubrail for a highway-speed trailering fit. With only a 12-inch draft, the 2300 HPS launches from ramps that deeper-V hulls can’t touch, and this cover’s quick-on, quick-off design matches that get-there-first philosophy. For the center console variant, see the Pathfinder 2300 HPS center console cover.
Protection That Matches VARIS Construction
Maverick Boat Group’s VARIS (Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion System) process produces a hull that’s lighter and stronger than hand-laid fiberglass — it’s the same technology used across the company’s premium brands including Maverick and Hewes. The 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric on this cover delivers matching durability: 5 to 7 years of UV resistance, water repellency, and mildew protection with double-stitched seams throughout. The premium Sunbrella acrylic option extends that to 8 to 10 years for owners who want the absolute best. Both fabrics are breathable to prevent trapped moisture, and both ship with a 2-year manufacturer warranty and free standard delivery. The 2300 HPS sits at the performance crossroads of Pathfinder’s lineup — fast enough for offshore runs, shallow enough for backwater exploration — and this cover keeps it ready for either mission. The Pathfinder 23 SE cover fits the predecessor Sport Edition that the HPS replaced.
