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.
*The warranty periods above are provided by the fabric manufacturer and cover the material itself. For details on what’s included in the warranty for your completed cover, please see our warranty page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — this cover is pattern-cut specifically for the 2013-present Regulator 23's 23'5" hull and 8'6" beam. The redesigned 23 has a different deck layout, deeper cockpit, and updated console compared to the 1990-2012 generation, and this cover is built for that newer configuration.
Absolutely. The cover wraps the entire hull below the T-Top hardtop, fully enclosing the helm station, flush-mount electronics, leaning post, and the deep cockpit. UV rays, salt spray, rain, and debris stay off your gelcoat, upholstery, and electronic displays.
Yes. The cover features double-stitched seams and a reinforced hem cord at the rubrail designed to handle highway trailering speeds. The adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs keep it tight and flutter-free while towing.
Two options: 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric (rated 5-7 years, available in Navy, Black, or Charcoal) and premium Sunbrella acrylic (rated 8-10 years, expanded color selection). Both are water-repellent, UV-resistant, and mildew-resistant — important for a boat that's often stored near salt water.
The cover is designed for the Regulator 23's twin-engine transom configuration (rated for up to 300 HP). The fabric extends aft over the transom splash well while the engine lower units remain visible below — no separate engine cover needed. The pattern accounts for the twin-engine spacing.
Under five minutes for one person. Drape the cover from bow to stern, align the T-Top leg cutouts, and secure the strap-and-buckle tie-downs at the rubrail. The 23 is a popular size that's easy to cover solo without any special tools or assistance.
This cover is pattern-cut for the 2013-present redesigned Regulator 23, which has a different deck layout and deeper cockpit than the original 1990-2012 hull. If you have the earlier generation, contact us to confirm fit for your specific model year.
The cover is water-resistant with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish rather than fully waterproof. The breathable construction prevents moisture and mildew from being trapped underneath — essential for boats stored in the humid coastal environments where most Regulators spend their lives.
A 2-year manufacturer warranty covers materials and workmanship. The 9oz solution-dyed fabric typically lasts 5-7 years, and Sunbrella acrylic lasts 8-10 years — well beyond the warranty period with normal care and use.
The cover is pattern-cut for the factory T-Top configuration. Aftermarket rocket launchers mounted to the T-Top typically don't interfere since the hardtop stays exposed. Outriggers stored upright on the T-Top also remain above the cover. Contact us if you have modifications that extend below the hardtop level.
Regulator 23 T-Top Boat Cover (2013-Present) — Redesigned Codega Hull Dominance
The redesigned Regulator 23 — produced from 2013 to present — stretches 23’5″ overall with an 8’6″ beam and approximately 7,120 pounds with engines. Built by Regulator Marine in Edenton, North Carolina, this updated 23 carries the same Lou Codega-designed 24-degree deadrise Sharp Entry hull that made Regulator famous for conquering the treacherous Outer Banks inlets, but with a modernized deck layout, deeper cockpit, and significantly improved fishability over the 1990-2012 generation. The hull is hand-laid fiberglass with vinylester resin barriers and composite coring — construction that sets the standard for offshore ride quality. Rated for up to 300 horsepower with 149 gallons of fuel, the redesigned 23 reaches the Gulf Stream from Hatteras Inlet with range to spare. Joan and Owen Maxwell started Regulator in an abandoned A&P grocery store in 1988, and nearly four decades later the 23 remains the boat that proves their Codega hull design was worth every late night in that old building.

Pattern-Cut for the Redesigned 2013+ Hull
This cover is specifically cut for the 2013-and-newer Regulator 23’s redesigned hull shape, deeper cockpit, and updated deck configuration — which differs significantly from the 1990-2012 generation in freeboard height, console profile, and cockpit depth. The fabric wraps the hull below the hardtop with reinforced cutouts around the T-Top support legs, while the white fiberglass hardtop roof stays fully exposed. A hem cord at the rubrail and adjustable tie-down straps secure the cover for trailering at highway speeds. Installation takes under five minutes solo. The next offshore model up is the Regulator 24 FS T-Top boat cover, offering pattern-cut precision for the forward-seating layout.
Codega Hull Engineering, Premium Fabric Protection
Lou Codega designed Regulator’s Sharp Entry hull to handle the dangerous inlets of the Outer Banks — where shoaling bars, strong currents, and breaking seas demand a hull that doesn’t flinch. The cover protecting that engineering should deliver equal quality. 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 to prevent moisture damage to the 23’s electronics and upholstery. Every cover ships with a 2-year warranty within 1-2 business days. For the XO crossover series, the Regulator 30 XO T-Top boat cover covers the flagship hybrid platform.
