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 Scout 175 Sport's 17'5" hull and its NuV3 triple-stepped hull contours. The fabric wraps the entire boat from bow to stern, including the center console, leaning post, rod holders, and bow platform.
Absolutely. The cover completely encloses the center console, helm electronics, gauges, switches, and all cockpit components. UV radiation, salt spray, rain, and debris are fully blocked — extending the life of your electronics and upholstery significantly.
Yes. The cover features double-stitched seams and a hem cord designed for highway trailering speeds. The 175 Sport is one of Scout's most trailerable models, and the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs keep the cover tight and flutter-free during transport.
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 — built for the coastal salt-air environments where most Scouts are stored.
The 175 Sport is a center console without a T-Top, so this cover wraps the entire boat from bow to stern — including the console — creating a single tent-like shape that peaks at the center console and slopes down to the rubrail on all sides. There's no exposed hardtop above.
Under five minutes for one person. Drape the cover over the boat from bow to stern, align it around the console, and secure the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs at the rubrail. The 175 Sport's compact size makes it one of the easiest boats to cover solo.
Yes. The cover fully encloses the entire deck, including the livewell, flush-mount rod holders, and all hardware. Salt corrosion, UV degradation, and weather exposure are blocked from reaching any deck-level components.
Water-resistant with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. The breathable design prevents trapped moisture and mildew from building up underneath — more important for long-term protection than a waterproof seal that would trap condensation against your hull, upholstery, and electronics.
A 2-year manufacturer warranty covers materials and workmanship. The 9oz solution-dyed fabric is rated for 5-7 years and Sunbrella for 8-10 years of useful life — well beyond the warranty period.
Yes — this cover fits all standard-production Scout 175 Sport models. The NuV3 hull dimensions and center console deck layout have remained consistent across production years, so the pattern-cut fit applies regardless of year.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Scout 175 Sport Center Console Boat Cover
The Scout 175 Sport is a 17’5″ center console built on Scout’s proprietary NuV3 triple-stepped hull — an engineering approach that breaks surface tension at speed, reducing drag and delivering a drier, more stable ride than conventional single-step designs in this size class. Founded in 1989 in Summerville, South Carolina, Scout has built a reputation for precision craftsmanship and attention to detail, and the 175 Sport reflects that heritage with a foam-filled, unsinkable hull, 28-gallon fuel capacity, and single outboard power up to 90 HP — a purpose-built inshore fishing and coastal cruising platform.
A Perfect Fit custom center console cover shields the 175 Sport’s console, leaning post, rod holders, livewells, electronics, and bow platform from UV degradation and salt corrosion. Our solution-dyed marine fabric (or premium Sunbrella acrylic) is patterned to the 175 Sport’s exact NuV3 hull contours, delivering a wrinkle-free fit that won’t bind against hardware. Reinforced stitching and adjustable tie-down straps keep the cover locked in place whether you’re storing on a trailer, dock lift, or in dry stack — protecting your Scout investment season after season.
NuV3 Hull Design & Performance
Scout engineered the 175 Sport as a nimble, efficient fishing platform that maximizes every inch of its 17’5″ footprint. The NuV3 triple-stepped hull reduces wetted surface area at planing speeds, which means faster hole shots, better fuel economy, and a noticeably drier ride in choppy conditions. The foam-filled hull provides unsinkable flotation and added structural rigidity, while the compact 7’5″ beam keeps the boat easy to trailer and launch at any ramp. A properly fitted center console cover ensures the deck hardware, electronics, and upholstery stay protected between outings, preserving the 175 Sport’s resale value.
