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 cover wraps the entire hull below the T-Top hardtop, protecting the center console with full electronics suite, leaning post with tackle storage, livewells, large insulated fish boxes, rod holders, bow and aft seating, and all upholstery surfaces. The fiberglass T-Top hardtop remains exposed.
Yes. This cover is custom-patterned to the 270 CC's Variable Degree Stepped hull profile, 9-foot beam, and T-Top frame. The aft section is specifically cut for the twin outboard transom with proper clearance around both cowlings up to 500 HP total.
The 270 CC is 28 feet 5 inches overall with a 9-foot beam and approximately 6,700 pounds dry weight. With 188 gallons of fuel and twin outboard power up to 500 HP, it's one of the most capable offshore center consoles in the Sailfish lineup.
The 270 carries 188 gallons of fuel. Combined with twin outboard power and the VDS hull's efficiency, this provides the range for serious offshore trips — 40-plus miles to productive fishing grounds and back with comfortable reserve.
The 270 and 272 CC are close siblings — both are 27-foot class VDS-hull center consoles with twin engines. The 270 is slightly longer at 28'5" overall with 188 gallons of fuel, while the 272 CC features a 9'1" beam and updated deck layout. Both deliver serious offshore capability.
For a 28-foot offshore boat stored year-round in coastal environments, Sunbrella acrylic with 8-10 years of UV protection is strongly recommended. The large hull surface area means significant UV exposure, and Sunbrella's solution-dyed construction provides the best long-term protection.
The cover's aft section is custom-patterned for the 270's twin outboard configuration. The hem cord and strap system create a sealed perimeter around the transom with proper clearance around both engine cowlings, leaving the lower units accessible for maintenance.
Yes. The 270 features a spacious walk-in center console with head compartment and freshwater system. The cover protects the console entry area and all plumbing from rain intrusion and UV degradation during storage.
Yes, two people is recommended for a 28-foot boat. One person supports the cover while the other threads the hem cord along the rubrails. The T-Top frame provides central support to prevent sagging. Allow 12-15 minutes for complete installation.
Both options carry manufacturer warranties: 5-7 years for the 9oz solution-dyed fabric and 8-10 years for Sunbrella acrylic. Covers material defects, UV degradation, and color fading under normal outdoor storage conditions.
Sailfish 270 T-Top Boat Cover
The Sailfish 270 CC is the entry point to Sailfish’s large offshore center console range — a 28-foot 5-inch twin-engine fishing platform with a 9-foot beam, 188 gallons of fuel, and up to 500 HP of twin outboard power on a Variable Degree Stepped (VDS) hull built for running offshore in conditions that send smaller boats back to the dock. Built in Cairo, Georgia with SailTech wood-free construction featuring Kevlar reinforcement, the 270 delivers the structural integrity, ride quality, and range that serious offshore anglers demand. This custom-fitted T-Top cover wraps the entire hull below the hardtop in 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric or premium Sunbrella acrylic.
At 6,700 pounds dry with a 9-foot beam, the 270 CC carries a professional-grade fishing layout — multiple livewells, large insulated fish boxes, under-gunwale rod storage, a spacious center console with head compartment, and a leaning post with integrated tackle station. The 188-gallon fuel capacity and twin-engine power mean the 270 reaches distant offshore structure and returns with the fuel reserve that responsible captains demand. The VDS hull’s three-zone deadrise cuts through chop while the stepped running surfaces maximize fuel efficiency. This cover protects every surface with reinforced double-stitched seams, a hem cord system, and adjustable tie-down straps engineered for the 270’s dimensions.
Offshore Range, Offshore Protection
The 270 represents Sailfish’s approach to the serious offshore center console — enough range, power, and fishability for bluewater trips while maintaining the build quality and hull technology that define the brand. The VDS hull delivers the ride quality that makes long offshore runs comfortable, while SailTech construction ensures the hull resists the structural degradation that affects boats working in salt environments year after year. This cover preserves that investment with solution-dyed fabric rated for 5-7 years or Sunbrella acrylic rated for 8-10 years.
