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 Scarab 255 T-Top cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric or premium Sunbrella acrylic. The 9oz fabric delivers 5–7 years of UV and weather protection, while Sunbrella extends that to 8–10 years. Both are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and double-stitched at all seams.
Yes. The cover is pattern-cut with reinforced cutouts that wrap around the T-Top support legs. The fabric covers the hull and cockpit below the hardtop while the white fiberglass T-Top roof remains fully exposed on top.
Installation takes under five minutes. Drape the cover over the hull from bow to stern, position the reinforced cutouts around the T-Top legs, then secure the adjustable tie-down straps and buckles at the rubrail. One person can complete the installation.
No — please remove the cover before towing your Scarab 255. 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.
Yes. The Scarab 255 T-Top cover creates a complete barrier over the cockpit and stern area, protecting your helm electronics, seating, jet drive intakes, and all deck hardware from UV damage, rain, salt spray, bird droppings, and debris.
Your Scarab 255 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.
The cover is water-resistant with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish that causes water to bead and roll off. It is breathable by design to prevent moisture and mildew buildup underneath the cover.
Yes. The cover fits all Scarab 255 models with the factory T-Top, including the Open ID and other trim variants during standard production.
The Scarab 255 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 Scarab 255 cover to be made and shipped — you'll receive tracking information as soon as it leaves our facility.

Scarab 255 T-Top Boat Cover — Jet-Powered Performance Protection
The Scarab 255 is a 25’0″ jet-powered center console built by Rec Boat Holdings with twin Rotax 4-TEC jet drives delivering up to 500 HP combined. At 3,800 lbs with an 8’4″ beam, this is a performance platform that trades traditional outboard propulsion for propeller-free jet technology — meaning shallow 15″ draft, instant throttle response, and zero prop strike risk. The 56-gallon fuel tank and 20-degree deadrise give the 255 a capable ride in open water, while the Intelligent Neutral and Reverse (iNR) system makes docking effortless. A custom-fitted T-Top cover from Perfect Fit’s center console curtain collection protects the 255’s helm electronics, seating, and jet drive systems from UV damage, salt exposure, and seasonal weather.
Tailored to the Scarab 255’s Jet-Drive Layout
This cover is pattern-cut for the Scarab 255’s T-Top configuration and unique jet-drive stern. Reinforced cutouts wrap around the T-Top support legs while the fabric drapes smoothly over the cockpit, covering the helm station, seating, and fishbox areas from gunwale to gunwale. The white fiberglass hardtop stays fully exposed on top. Because the 255 uses internal jet drives rather than outboard engines, the cover wraps cleanly across the transom with no engine lower units protruding below. Installation takes under five minutes — drape, position, strap, and buckle. Remove the cover before towing — it’s designed for storage, not highway travel. For the compact jet-drive option in the Scarab family, see our Scarab 195 center console cover.
Protection That Matches Scarab Performance
Scarab engineered the 255 for speed and agility, and your cover delivers the same level of precision. The 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric provides 5–7 years of UV and weather resistance with a water-repellent, mildew-resistant finish. Upgrade to premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of protection. Both options feature double-stitched seams and breathable construction that prevents moisture buildup beneath the cover while blocking the UV rays that degrade gel coat, upholstery, and electronics. Every cover ships with our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 3–6 years on the fabric). For a larger offshore fishing T-Top, explore our Contender 31 T-Top cover.
