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
It's made for the Scout 175 Sport Dorado dual console — 17'5" with a 7'5" beam — with no top fitted. Please confirm your model and year when you order so we can check the pattern before we cut.
"Center Console" is our name for the full-cover style we make for boats without a hard top. It covers the whole boat, bow to stern and rubrail to rubrail, with both consoles, the windscreens and the outboard included. The pattern is cut for the 175 Sport Dorado's own dual-console layout, not for a center console.
No. The 175 Dorado has a wrap-around windshield and a different bow seating layout, so it uses our 175 Dorado pattern.
If your boat has Power-Poles, select them in the Power Poles field when you order. A Power Pole Measurement Form will pop up; fill it in and email it to info@perfectfitboatcovers.com so we can cut the cover to fit around them.
Choose 9oz solution-dyed polyester (Navy or Black) for heavy-duty everyday protection, or premium Sunbrella acrylic (Marine Blue, Black, or Smoke) for maximum UV resistance and longevity.
No. The cover is made to protect your boat while it is parked on its trailer, up on a lift or in storage. Take it off before you tow: trailering with the cover on can damage it and voids the warranty.
Materials and workmanship are covered for 1 year, and the fabric carries its own warranty (5 years on 9oz and 6 years on Sunbrella). Every cover is made to order, so please allow 1–3 weeks; shipping is a $30 flat rate within the continental US.
Pricing: 9oz $895.00 · Sunbrella $1,045.00 — your final total appears below as you build your cover.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Scout 175 Sport Dorado Center Console Boat Cover — Custom-Fit for the Scout 175 Sport Dorado Dual Console
Scout Boats builds its boats in Summerville, South Carolina. The 175 Sport Dorado is Scout’s 17-foot dual console, built on the same 17’5″ hull as the 175 Sportfish. Scout’s spec sheet lists a 17’5″ length, a 7’5″ beam, about 1,310 lb dry, 28 gallons of fuel, 13 degrees of deadrise, a draft of about 10 inches and a single outboard of up to 115 hp (Boating’s test lists 90 hp as the maximum), with room for six. The driver and passenger consoles sit toward the stern, each with a windscreen and grab rail; Boating describes a large bow section with forward-facing lounge seats, a raised cushioned bow platform and an anchor locker. Standard gear includes captain’s chairs, stern jump seats with backrests, a full bow rail, an aerated livewell, rod holders and a swim platform; a bimini is optional. This Center Console cover is patterned for the Scout 175 Sport Dorado with no T-top, and like all of our Scout boat covers, it’s cut to this hull rather than a generic 17-foot size chart.
How It Fits the Scout 175 Sport Dorado
The cover peaks over both consoles and their windscreens, then slopes down to the gunwales so rain runs off instead of pooling. Forward it runs over the bow rail and bow seating to the stem; through the middle it takes in the captain’s chairs, falling to the rubrail along the 7’5″ beam. Aft, it covers the stern jump seats and falls as one loose drape over the outboard cowling, with the lower unit exposed. Remove your trolling motor before installing the cover. Trolling motors come in too many styles to pattern around, so the cover isn’t made to go over one. Installation takes about five minutes: drape it bow to stern, run the hem cord along the rubrail, and cinch the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs. It’s made for storage on a trailer, lift, dry stack, or jet dock — take it off before towing, since trailering with the cover on can damage it and voids the warranty.
Not the Same as the 175 Dorado
Scout’s earlier 175 Dorado is also 17’5″ with a 7’5″ beam, but it was built with a wrap-around windshield, fully cushioned bow seating with storage and a larger fuel tank. The windshield and deck differ, so check the model name on your registration or hull paperwork.
Fabric, Warranty & Shipping
Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for heavy-duty everyday protection (5–7 year service life) or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of fade resistance. Both are water-repellent, breathable, mildew-resistant, and double-stitched at the seams. Each cover is backed by our warranty (1 year on materials and workmanship, plus 5 years on 9oz and 6 years on Sunbrella) and ships for a $30 flat rate within the US — every cover is made to order, so please allow 1–3 weeks. For the earlier dual console, see our Scout 175 Dorado Center Console cover; for the center-console version of this hull, see the Scout 175 Sportfish Center Console cover.
