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 180 C. The 7 oz polyester provides lightweight, budget-friendly protection ideal for trailered boats stored under a carport. The 9 oz solution-dyed polyester — our most popular option — delivers a tighter weave with superior UV resistance and mildew protection rated for 5 to 7 years. The premium Sunbrella acrylic upgrade extends that to 8 to 10 years, matching the premium build quality Pursuit puts into every hull.
Yes — the cover is custom-patterned with reinforced cutouts that wrap precisely around the 180 C'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 hull sides — is enclosed. Reinforced binding at each cutout prevents fraying where fabric meets the T-Top legs.
Installation takes under five minutes solo. Drape the cover over the T-Top frame from the hardtop attachment points, letting the fabric fall naturally 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 180 C's compact 18-foot length makes this one of the quickest covers to install in our catalog.
Absolutely. The cover is reinforced at every high-stress point with double-stitched seams that handle highway-speed wind loads. The 180 C is the most compact model in the Pursuit lineup and one of the most frequently trailered, so our cover is specifically engineered for that use pattern. The adjustable strap system cinches tight to prevent billowing, and the hem cord locks along the rub rail for a secure seal.
The cover creates a complete barrier over every exposed surface below the T-Top hardtop. The 180 C's helm electronics, fishfinder, leaning post, rod holders, and all cockpit upholstery are fully enclosed. Pursuit's vacuum-infused construction produces a premium gel coat and interior finish — UV rays, rain, salt spray, and bird droppings are completely blocked so those surfaces stay in showroom condition between trips.
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 180 C is stored on a trailer, boat lift, or at a dock. The 9 oz fabric typically lasts 5 to 7 years, and the Sunbrella upgrade extends that to 8 to 10 years.
The cover is water-resistant with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish — rain and spray bead up and roll off. It is engineered to breathe rather than seal completely, because a fully waterproof cover would trap moisture underneath and promote mildew on the 180 C's upholstery and gel coat. The breathable design allows air circulation while blocking direct water contact — ideal for the 180 C whether stored dockside or on a trailer between trips.
The cover is patterned to fit the standard-production Pursuit 180 C with a factory T-Top. Pursuit has maintained the 180 C's core hull dimensions consistently across production years. If your boat has significant aftermarket modifications that alter the 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-color selection. Upgrading to Sunbrella acrylic adds Captain Navy, Pacific Blue, Forest Green, and additional marine-grade shades. All fabrics use solution-dyed fiber where pigment is embedded during manufacturing, providing years of 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 180 C cover ships in a compact box with all mounting hardware included — stainless steel snaps, adjustable tie-down straps, hem cord, and T-Top attachment fittings — ready for immediate installation.
Pursuit 180 C T-Top Boat Cover — Entry-Level Luxury for Inshore Anglers
The Pursuit 180 C packs serious fishing capability into the most compact center console in the Pursuit lineup — 18 feet of vacuum-infused fiberglass built in Fort Pierce, Florida by the brand that has earned the Marine Industry Customer Satisfaction Award every year since 2001. With approximately 150 HP on the transom, an 18-degree deadrise hull, and a draft shallow enough for skinny-water access, this nimble platform handles everything from flats stalking to nearshore reef fishing. Our custom-fitted T-Top boat cover protects the 180 C’s entire layout from the hardtop frame down, blocking UV damage, repelling rain, and defending against salt-air corrosion that attacks gel coat and electronics. Explore our full collection of custom boat covers to find the right fit for every hull in your fleet.
Pattern-Cut for the 180 C’s Compact Fishing Layout
This cover wraps precisely around the 180 C’s T-Top legs and center console, accounting for the approximately 7’6” beam and the model’s integrated rod holders, console-mounted electronics, and aft casting platform. The pattern accommodates the livewell, under-gunwale rod storage, and self-draining cockpit floor. Installation takes under five minutes solo with the strap-and-buckle system, and the reinforced hem cord seats firmly at the rubrail. The cover trailers securely at highway speed, giving your Pursuit 2270 cover the same reliable protection during transport that it delivers dockside.
Protection That Matches Pursuit Quality
Pursuit builds every hull with vacuum-infused resin fiberglass and Yamaha-optimized engineering, and our covers deliver protection worthy of that construction quality. Choose from 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric rated for 5–7 years of UV and weather resistance, or upgrade to premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of superior durability and color retention. Both fabrics are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and breathable to prevent moisture buildup underneath. Double-stitched seams and reinforced stress points handle the rigors of trailering and outdoor storage. Every cover ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty and free standard shipping. If you fish from a larger Pursuit, check out the Pursuit 248 S T-Top cover for the same quality protection on that platform.
