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 175 Sport Dorado features Scout's Dorado dual console layout on the same 17'5" NuV3 hull platform. The Dorado configuration adds a passenger-side console with a windshield, creating a walk-around layout that provides more protection from wind and spray while retaining fishability. The hull dimensions, weight, and performance specs are identical to the 175 Sport.
Yes. Our custom cover is patterned specifically for the 175 Sport Dorado's unique dual console layout, including both consoles, the passenger windshield, and the walk-around bow configuration. The cover wraps the entire boat, providing full protection for the Dorado-specific hardware.
The dual console and windshield create slightly more complex contours than a standard center console, but our pattern accounts for every angle. Installation time is comparable to other 175 models — typically 10–15 minutes with one person. The hem cord and adjustable straps guide the cover into position naturally.
Absolutely. The cover wraps both the helm console and the passenger-side Dorado console, including the windshield frame, gauges, switches, and any mounted electronics on either side. Complete dual console protection is built into the pattern.
Yes. At 17'5" with a 7'5" beam, the 175 Sport Dorado trailers just as easily as any other model on the 175 platform. Our reinforced stitching and tie-down straps are rated for sustained highway speeds without flutter or shifting.
Yes. The cover extends forward to wrap the entire bow area, including the walk-around sections, bow seating, anchor locker, and any cleats or hardware. The Dorado's walk-around design is fully accounted for in our custom pattern.
Solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) is ideal for mixed storage situations. It provides full UV protection during outdoor exposure and trailering while remaining easy to fold and store when the boat is in the garage. Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years) is worth the upgrade if outdoor storage is the primary scenario.
UV radiation degrades windshield clarity, causes yellowing in polycarbonate, and weakens rubber gaskets over time. Our cover completely shields the windshield from direct sun exposure, preserving optical clarity and seal integrity for years.
The dual console layout creates a more enclosed cockpit space, which can trap humidity. Our breathable fabric allows moisture to wick through while blocking rain and spray, preventing the stagnant air that causes mold and mildew — even in the Dorado's more sheltered cockpit area.
Every Perfect Fit cover includes our satisfaction guarantee and fabric warranty — 5–7 years for solution-dyed marine fabric, 8–10 years for Sunbrella acrylic. We also offer free pattern adjustments if your 175 Sport Dorado has aftermarket modifications that affect fit.
Scout 175 Sport Dorado Center Console Boat Cover
The Scout 175 Sport Dorado brings Scout’s Dorado dual console layout to the compact 17’5″ NuV3 hull platform. The Dorado configuration adds a passenger-side console with a protective windshield, creating a walk-around design that shields passengers from wind and spray while preserving the fishing capability that defines the 175 series. At ~1,310 lbs dry with a 7’5″ beam, 28-gallon fuel capacity, and single outboard up to 90 HP, the 175 Sport Dorado is a trailerable dual console that handles inshore fishing, family cruising, and coastal exploration with equal confidence.
Protecting the 175 Sport Dorado’s dual consoles, windshield, electronics, and walk-around bow area requires a cover patterned to the Dorado’s specific layout. Perfect Fit’s solution-dyed marine fabric (or premium Sunbrella acrylic) wraps both consoles, the passenger windshield, and all deck hardware from rubrail to rubrail. The UV-resistant, water-repellent fabric prevents sun damage to the windshield, electronics, vinyl, and gel coat — extending the life of every component exposed to the elements.
Dorado Dual Console Versatility
Scout designed the Dorado layout to expand the 175 platform’s appeal beyond dedicated anglers. The passenger-side console and windshield provide a more comfortable ride for families and guests, while the walk-around bow access maintains the fishability that Scout owners expect. The NuV3 triple-stepped hull delivers the same dry ride and fuel efficiency as every other 175 variant, and the foam-filled construction ensures unsinkable flotation. A custom center console cover tailored to the Dorado’s unique dual console geometry keeps this versatile boat protected and ready for whatever the next outing demands.
