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 202 Dorado is the smallest boat in Scout's Dorado dual-console walk-around family, making it the most affordable and accessible entry point into dual-console ownership. At 20'2" with a single 200 HP engine, 50-gallon fuel tank, and the NuV3 hull, it delivers the Dorado family's signature features—forward and aft seating, walk-around deck circuit, safety railing—in a compact, trailerable package. For young families, couples, or anglers who want dual-console versatility without the size and expense of 24+ foot boats, the 202 Dorado is the perfect fit.
The dual-console walk-around design creates a continuous safety railing around the entire boat perimeter, which is invaluable for families with children. Kids can move around the boat safely without the open gunwales of a traditional center console. The forward console area provides protected seating away from the helm, so children aren't underfoot while the captain is operating the boat. The dual-console layout also allows the captain to monitor passengers in the forward seating area while maintaining full helm control.
The 202 Dorado is genuinely versatile—it handles recreational fishing comfortably while prioritizing family comfort. The NuV3 hull provides good fuel efficiency and ride quality, the 14" draft allows access to shallow fishing waters, and the open deck aft accommodates rod racks and tackle. It won't match a dedicated sportfish for tournament features, but for casual-to-serious recreational fishing combined with family outings, the 202 Dorado is an excellent choice. Many owners use it for weekday fishing and weekend family cruising.
The full center console cover wraps the entire 202 Dorado—hull, deck, both consoles, and all topside areas—in one continuous piece. Both the forward and aft console structures are fully protected beneath the cover, which drapes over them as part of the smooth silhouette. The tie-down straps anchor at the rubrail and beneath the main console base, holding the cover secure around the walk-around deck perimeter. This comprehensive coverage protects both seating areas, the deck, and all exposed hardware from UV, salt, and weather.
At 1,800 lbs dry weight plus engine, fuel, and trailer, total towing weight is typically 4,000–4,500 lbs—within the capacity of most full-size SUVs and half-ton pickup trucks. The 202 Dorado's compact 20'2" length and single-engine configuration keep the towing package manageable. This accessibility is a key advantage of the 202 Dorado: you get dual-console features without needing a heavy-duty tow vehicle. A single-axle trailer handles the boat easily at boat ramps.
The 202 Dorado is nearly 3 feet longer (20'2" vs. 17'5"), with a wider beam, more fuel capacity, and more deck space. The 175 Sport Dorado is ultra-compact and ultra-light; the 202 Dorado is a step up in size and capability. Both share the dual-console walk-around layout and NuV3 hull. Choose the 202 Dorado if you need more seating, fuel range, and deck space; choose the 175 Sport Dorado if you prioritize minimal weight and maximum trailering ease.
For trailer-stored boats, solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) provides excellent value. The cover protects from UV and debris during transit and between uses, and the lighter fabric weight makes installation and removal easy for one person. If you sometimes leave the boat on a trailer in direct sun for extended periods (weeks at a time), Sunbrella acrylic offers better long-term UV resistance. For boats that go back under a carport or garage after each use, the cost savings of solution-dyed fabric make it the practical choice.
Many 202 Dorado owners add a Bimini top for underway sun protection. The center console cover must be removed when the Bimini is deployed. If you install a permanent Bimini frame, Perfect Fit can create a modified cover with cutouts to accommodate the frame. Contact our custom cover team with photos of your Bimini installation for fit options.
The NuV3 hull scales beautifully to the 202 Dorado's 20'2" platform. The triple-stepped design provides excellent fuel efficiency (2.5–3.5 mpg at cruise with the single 200 HP engine), a stable ride in light chop, and responsive handling that makes the boat fun to drive. The 14" draft accesses shallow waters without sacrificing ride quality. On smaller boats, the NuV3 advantage is especially noticeable—you feel the difference in efficiency and ride quality compared to traditional V-hulls of the same size.
Your cover includes the custom-fitted fabric cover, hem cord for rubrail attachment, adjustable tie-down straps, a breathable mesh storage bag, and installation instructions. Perfect Fit also provides phone and email support for installation questions. The cover is backed by a 5-year manufacturer's defect warranty on materials and stitching. Extended protection plans are available for purchase at checkout.
Scout 202 Dorado Center Console Boat Cover
Scout’s Dorado family begins here—with the 202 Dorado, a 20’2″ dual-console walk-around that proves you don’t need 25 feet of boat to enjoy dual-console versatility. The walk-around deck circuit and safety railing create a family-friendly environment that traditional center consoles can’t match, while the NuV3 triple-stepped hull, single 200 HP engine, and 50-gallon fuel tank deliver the efficiency and range for a full day of coastal cruising or inshore fishing. At 1,800 lbs dry weight, the 202 Dorado tows easily behind a half-ton truck—a massive practical advantage for families who want dual-console features without heavy-duty towing infrastructure. Scout builds every 202 Dorado hull in Summerville, South Carolina, with the same meticulous attention they apply to boats twice its size.
A Perfect Fit center console cover for the 202 Dorado wraps your entire boat—hull, deck, and both console structures—in custom-fitted, durable protection. Choose solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) for excellent value on trailer-stored boats, or upgrade to premium Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years) for superior saltwater protection. The cover’s reinforced stitching, protective hem cord at the rubrail, and adjustable tie-down straps accommodate the dual-console layout seamlessly, ensuring both seating areas, the walk-around deck, and all topside hardware stay protected from UV, salt spray, and weather.
The Dorado Advantage: Family Comfort Meets Fishing Versatility
The 202 Dorado’s dual-console layout isn’t just a seating arrangement—it’s a safety feature. The continuous railing circuit around the walk-around deck gives families confidence that kids and pets are secure, while the forward console provides protected seating away from the fishing action at the aft helm. Your center console cover preserves this family-friendly environment by protecting upholstery from UV fading, deck hardware from salt corrosion, and console electronics from moisture intrusion. A covered 202 Dorado stays family-ready without the hours of cleaning and maintenance that exposed boats demand before every outing.
