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.
*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 custom-patterned specifically for the Scout 177 Winyah Bay center console. It wraps the entire hull in one smooth piece, conforming to the 177's console profile, 7'3" beam, and hull geometry for complete full-hull protection.
9.25 oz Sunbrella acrylic marine fabric — the industry benchmark for marine covers. It blocks over 98% of UV rays, resists mildew and fading, and breathes to prevent moisture buildup underneath.
Navy, Black, and Charcoal. All are solution-dyed Sunbrella acrylic, meaning the color goes all the way through the fiber — not just surface-dyed — for superior fade resistance.
Winyah Bay is one of South Carolina's most storied fishing grounds near Georgetown, where four rivers converge to create some of the Southeast's richest inshore habitat. Scout named this bay boat after those waters because it's purpose-built for technical shallow-water fishing — shallow draft, nimble handling, and the capability to fish the same kind of tidal systems that define Winyah Bay.
Yes. At 17'7" with a 7'3" beam, the 177 Winyah Bay is a trailering boat by design. This cover performs at sustained highway speeds — reinforced stitching and secure tie-down straps lock tight against the hull, eliminating flutter during transport.
Adjustable straps, quick-release buckles, and shock cord hems make installation a one-person job that takes just a few minutes. No tools required — just drape, position, and cinch.
Full coverage includes the console, electronics, rod holders, livewells, bow area, seating for up to 5 persons, gunwale hardware, and all deck accessories. The cover extends past the transom to protect the engine cowling from UV and salt corrosion.
The Sunbrella fabric carries a 10-year manufacturer warranty against loss of color, strength, and rot. This gives you a full decade of guaranteed fabric performance.
Generic covers use approximate measurements and one-size-fits-many patterns. This cover is custom-patterned to Scout's factory dimensions for the 177 Winyah Bay — every contour, console position, and hull shape is accounted for, delivering a tighter fit that sheds water and resists wind better than universal alternatives.
Yes. fast, insured shipping is included on every order within the continental United States. No hidden fees or inflated shipping surcharges.

Scout 177 Winyah Bay Center Console Boat Cover
The Scout 177 Winyah Bay is a heritage-named 17’7″ bay-style center console that carries the name of one of South Carolina’s most storied fishing grounds — Winyah Bay near Georgetown, where the Black, Pee Dee, Waccamaw, and Sampit rivers converge to create some of the Southeast’s richest inshore habitat. With a 7’3″ beam, up to 115 HP, 20 gallons of fuel, a 5-person capacity, and a draft shallow enough to navigate tidal flats and marsh creeks, the 177 Winyah Bay is purpose-built for the kind of technical inshore fishing that its namesake waters demand. Scout builds the 177 Winyah Bay in Summerville, South Carolina, on the NuV3 triple-stepped hull with foam-filled fiberglass construction — the same engineering foundation that runs across their entire lineup from 16-foot skiffs to 42-foot offshore platforms.
A Perfect Fit custom center console cover protects the 177 Winyah Bay’s compact fishing deck — console, electronics, rod holders, livewells, and all deck hardware — from the UV exposure, salt corrosion, and weather that inshore bay boats face constantly. The 177’s size means it’s typically trailered and stored outdoors, where UV and weather exposure are at their worst. Our solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years) wraps the entire hull in a single smooth piece, secured by reinforced stitching, hem cord at the rubrail, and adjustable tie-down straps patterned to the 177 Winyah Bay’s specific hull contours. The cover performs at highway speeds during trailering and sheds rain and UV during long-term outdoor storage.
Named for the Water, Built for the Work
The Winyah Bay name isn’t marketing — it’s a statement of purpose. Scout designed the 177 specifically for the kind of water that Winyah Bay represents: shallow tidal creeks, expansive grass flats, oyster bars, and protected bays where the fish are shallow and the navigation is technical. The NuV3 hull delivers a ride quality that outperforms the 177’s compact dimensions, and the 115 HP ceiling provides plenty of power for a boat this size. Your cover protects the bay-fishing infrastructure that makes the 177 Winyah Bay productive — the electronics, rod storage, live wells, and deck hardware that accumulate salt and UV damage between trips. A covered Winyah Bay stays ready to fish; an uncovered one starts every morning with cleanup.
