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.

Scout 205 SP T-Top Boat Cover
The Scout 205 SP is Scout’s compact sport platform — a 20’5″ hull with an 8’6″ beam, up to 225 HP, and approximately 60 gallons of fuel, designed for boaters who want a single boat that handles fishing, watersports, and family cruising without compromise. The “SP” designation signals Scout’s Sport Platform philosophy: a hull optimized for versatility rather than a single mission. At 20’5″, the 205 SP is nimble enough for tight waterways and easy trailering, yet the 8’6″ beam and 225 HP ceiling give it the stability and power to handle open-water runs with confidence. Scout engineers in Summerville, South Carolina, built the 205 SP on the NuV3 triple-stepped hull — the same proven technology that underpins their offshore sportfish models — delivering a ride quality and efficiency that sport platform buyers rarely find in this size range.
A Perfect Fit T-Top cover for the 205 SP protects the versatile deck layout, console, seating, and electronics below the hardtop from UV, salt spray, and weather. The sport platform configuration means more diverse hardware to protect — not just fishing infrastructure, but also ski tow points, family seating areas, bow lounges, and entertainment features that all suffer under constant outdoor exposure. Choose between solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years), both secured by reinforced stitching, hem cord at the rubrail, and adjustable tie-down straps sized for the 205 SP’s specific hull geometry. The cover wraps below the T-Top framework, leaving the fiberglass hardtop exposed while shielding the entire deck area beneath.
One Hull, Every Mission
The 205 SP exists because Scout recognized that most boat owners don’t fish every trip — they want a platform that handles a morning tournament run, an afternoon sandbar hangout, and a sunset family cruise on the same tank of gas. The NuV3 hull delivers the stability for trolling and the performance for watersports, while the 225 HP ceiling provides punch without the fuel burn of larger engines. The sport platform layout maximizes usable deck space for both fishing and socializing. Your cover protects all of it — the helm station, upholstery, live wells, rod holders, audio system, and deck hardware that define the 205 SP’s versatility. Between trips, the cover keeps everything dry, UV-free, and ready to go without the hours of cleaning that uncovered boats demand.
