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.

Scout 175 Sportfish T-Top Boat Cover
Scout’s sportfish lineup begins with the 175—an ultra-compact 17’5″ T-Top that proves serious fishing capability doesn’t require a 20-foot hull and twin engines. At just 1,200 lbs dry weight with a single 115 HP engine and 25-gallon fuel tank, this is the boat that fits where others can’t: shallow creeks, small boat ramps, and the kind of skinny water that holds fish but keeps bigger boats at bay. The 11″ draft and NuV3 triple-stepped hull make the 175 Sportfish remarkably efficient—expect 3–4 mpg at cruise, turning that modest 25-gallon tank into genuine range for a full day of inshore fishing. Scout has been building these hulls in Summerville, South Carolina, since 1989, and the 175 Sportfish carries their flagship hull technology in the most accessible package possible.
A Perfect Fit T-Top cover for the 175 Sportfish protects the deck, console, and seating below the hardtop from UV, salt spray, and weather—the elements that degrade gel coat, fade upholstery, and corrode hardware between fishing trips. Choose between durable solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years of superior UV and mold resistance). The cover’s reinforced stitching, hem cord at the rubrail, and adjustable tie-down straps are engineered for the 175 Sportfish’s compact geometry. At 17’5″, one person can install and remove this cover in under 10 minutes—making consistent use between trips effortless.
The Smallest Scout, the Same Engineering Standards
Scout doesn’t cut corners on the 175 just because it’s the entry point. The NuV3 hull is identical in design philosophy to what goes into their 30+ foot flagships—triple-stepped construction, foam-filled fiberglass, and precisely engineered hull contours. Your T-Top cover matches that engineering precision: custom-fitted to the 175 Sportfish’s exact dimensions, ensuring water sheds cleanly off the compact footprint without pooling. For a boat this light and easy to trailer, the cover becomes part of your routine—install it after every trip and your 175 stays in showroom condition season after season.
