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 Regulator 24 XO cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed marine polyester, 7oz solution-dyed polyester, and premium Sunbrella acrylic. All fabrics are solution-dyed — color is baked into the fiber, not applied to the surface — so the 24 XO cover resists fading from the UV and salt exposure of both bay fishing and offshore storage.
Yes. The 24 XO cover is pattern-cut specifically for the XO crossover hull profile, which has a wider bow platform and shallower draft than Regulator's offshore models. Reinforced cutouts fit around the T-Top legs, and the fabric wraps the 24'4" hull below the hardtop while the white fiberglass roof stays fully exposed.
Installation takes under 5 minutes solo, no tools needed. Drape from bow to stern over the console and T-Top legs, then lock down with the hem cord at the rubrail and adjustable tie-down straps with quick-release buckles. The 24 XO's single-engine setup makes the stern section especially easy to cover.
No — please remove the cover before towing your Regulator 24 XO. Our covers are not designed to be trailered: towing with the cover on can cause severe damage to the cover and voids the warranty. The cover is designed for storage only — on a trailer, boat lift, dry stack, or jet dock — and comes off in minutes at the ramp.
Complete barrier over the Regulator 24 XO's helm station, GPS/fishfinder, leaning post, rod holders, bow platform seating, and all upholstery. UV, rain, salt spray, bird droppings, and pollen are blocked. The breathable fabric prevents moisture and mildew from building up underneath — important for the 24 XO's bay boat use in humid coastal areas.
Your Regulator 24 XO cover is backed by our manufacturer's warranty for the original purchaser. Materials and workmanship — stitching, straps, buckles, zippers, and other hardware — are covered for 1 year from the purchase date. Fabric is covered for 3 years on 7oz, 5 years on black or navy 9oz, and 6 years on Sunbrella. Covered defects are repaired or replaced after you contact us for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. The warranty does not cover improper use, accident or negligence, unauthorized modifications, improper care, mold or mildew, incorrectly placed orders, theft or loss, or acts of God — and traveling with the cover on or using it in the water voids the warranty. See our Warranty page for full details.
Water-resistant with DWR finish that causes rain to bead off. Also breathable — trapped moisture escapes through the weave, preventing mildew on the 24 XO's upholstery and electronics. This breathability is critical for crossover boats that frequently fish shallow, humid backwater environments.
Yes. Pattern-cut to the 24 XO's standard production dimensions (24'4" LOA, 8'5" beam) with factory T-Top configuration. The XO crossover hull shape has remained consistent across the production run.
The Regulator 24 XO cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed polyester in Navy or Black, 7oz polyester in Black, or premium Sunbrella acrylic in Marine Blue, Black, or Smoke. Choose your fabric and color in the order options above.
Shipping is a $30 flat rate per cover within the continental United States. Because every cover is custom-made to order, please allow 1–3 weeks for your Regulator 24 XO cover to be made and shipped — you'll receive tracking information as soon as it leaves our facility.

Regulator 24 XO T-Top Boat Cover — Crossover Bay-to-Offshore Protection
The Regulator 24 XO measures 24’4″ overall with an 8’5″ beam and roughly 5,250 pounds with engine — the entry point to Regulator Marine’s XO Crossover series that bridges serious bay fishing with offshore capability in a single platform. Built in Edenton, North Carolina by the Maxwell family, who started Regulator in 1988 in an abandoned A&P grocery store and grew it into one of the most respected names in offshore fishing, the 24 XO runs a shallower draft than the offshore models while still carrying the hand-laid fiberglass construction, vinylester barriers, and fit-and-finish that Regulator owners expect. Rated for up to 350 horsepower on a single outboard with 86 gallons of fuel, the 24 XO handles everything from skinny-water redfish to nearshore reef runs — the kind of versatility that only a shallow-draft crossover with Regulator’s build quality can deliver. A custom-fitted cover from Perfect Fit Boat Covers keeps this versatile crossover sealed against salt, sun, and weather.
Pattern-Cut for the XO’s Hybrid Profile
This cover is cut specifically for the Regulator 24 XO’s unique crossover hull — shallower freeboard, wider bow platform, and a different console profile than the offshore models. The fabric wraps the hull below the hardtop with reinforced cutouts around the T-Top legs, while the white fiberglass hardtop roof stays fully exposed. The 24 XO’s single-engine setup means the stern section has a clean, simple profile under the cover. A hem cord and adjustable straps secure the cover. Remove the cover before towing — it’s designed for storage, not travel. Installation takes under five minutes solo. The next XO model up is the Regulator 26 XO T-Top boat cover, covering the mid-size crossover that handles the Yamaha XTO 450.
Family-Owned Quality, Premium Protection
Regulator is still family-owned — one of the last independent premium center console builders in the U.S. — and the 24 XO reflects that hands-on attention to quality. Your cover should match. 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. Every cover ships within 1–3 weeks and is backed by our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 3–6 years on the fabric). For the pure offshore series, the Regulator 31 T-Top boat cover covers the flagship twin-450 bluewater machine.
