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
A T-Top cover protects the deck, console, seating, rod storage, and all equipment below the hardtop frame on your 222 Sportfish. The cover shields the helm station, live well, electronics, and upholstery from UV damage, salt spray, rain, and debris while leaving the T-Top structure itself uncovered.
Yes, every Perfect Fit cover is custom-engineered specifically for the Scout 222 Sportfish's hull geometry. The pattern accounts for the 22'2" LOA, 8'6" beam, 20° deadrise hull shape, and the sportfish-specific deck layout including console position, rod holders, and fishing infrastructure that distinguish it from other 222 variants.
Choose between solution-dyed marine fabric rated for 5–7 years of protection, or premium Sunbrella acrylic rated for 8–10 years. Both options feature reinforced stitching, hem cord at the rubrail, and adjustable tie-down straps. The 222 Sportfish's 8'6" beam provides a manageable coverage area that both fabric options handle effectively.
The 222 Sportfish sits in the middle of Scout's sportfish chain between the 195 and 235. At 22'2" with 250 HP max and a 20° deadrise, the 222 bridges the gap between the trailerable 195 (200 HP) and the larger 235 (300 HP). The 222 offers more deck space and power than the 195 while maintaining easier trailering than the 235's 3,655 lb hull.
The 222 Sportfish features a 20° deadrise—the angle of the hull's V-shape at the transom. This moderate-deep V provides an excellent balance of offshore capability and stability at rest. The 20° deadrise cuts through chop better than shallower-hulled boats while still providing enough stability for comfortable fishing, making it ideal for the inshore-to-nearshore transition zone.
The Scout 222 Sportfish is rated for up to 10 persons. Despite its sportfish designation emphasizing fishing capability, the 222 provides enough deck space and seating for a full crew. The NuV3 triple-stepped hull handles the weight efficiently, maintaining performance and stability even with a full complement aboard.
The cover uses a hem cord running along the rubrail for a snug perimeter seal, combined with adjustable tie-down straps at key points around the 222 Sportfish's hull. This dual attachment system keeps the cover secure against coastal winds while conforming to the sportfish deck layout and its fishing-specific hardware.
Rinse the cover with fresh water after saltwater exposure and allow it to dry completely before storing. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and a soft brush. Both fabric options resist mold and mildew, but thorough drying after each use extends the cover's lifespan and keeps the 222 Sportfish's fishing infrastructure protected and tournament-ready.
Yes, Perfect Fit covers Scout's entire sportfish lineup including the 175, 187, 195, 202, 222, 235, 242, and 280 Sportfish models. Each cover is custom-engineered for the specific model's hull geometry and deck layout, ensuring precise fit whether you own the smallest 175 or the flagship 280 Sportfish.
The 222 Sportfish excels in inshore waters with its 14" draft providing access to shallow flats, oyster bars, and backwater channels. The 250 HP single engine pushes the 2,200 lb hull efficiently, while the 100-gallon fuel tank provides all-day range. The NuV3 hull's 20° deadrise handles the transition from calm inshore waters to choppier nearshore conditions without sacrificing shallow-water access.
Scout 222 Sportfish T-Top Boat Cover
The Scout 222 Sportfish is a 22’2″ sportfish center console with an 8’6″ beam, 20-degree deadrise, up to 250 HP, 100 gallons of fuel, approximately 2,200 lbs dry weight, a 14-inch draft, and a 10-person capacity — the boat where Scout’s Sportfish family crosses from small inshore platforms into genuine mid-range offshore territory. The 222 Sportfish is a significant step up from the 202 that tops the small sportfish chain: the 100-gallon fuel tank provides serious range, the 250 HP ceiling pushes the hull to speeds that access distant fishing grounds quickly, and the 20-degree deadrise delivers a ride that handles offshore chop with confidence. Scout engineers in Summerville, South Carolina, designed the 222 as the bridge between inshore sportfish fishing and offshore capability — the 14-inch draft still accesses productive shallow water, but the 100-gallon tank and 250 HP give it legs that the smaller Sportfish models can’t match.
A Perfect Fit T-Top cover for the 222 Sportfish protects the expanded sportfish deck, helm electronics, leaning post, livewells, rod storage, and seating areas below the hardtop from UV exposure, salt spray, and weather. The 222’s 8’6″ beam — the widest in the Sportfish lineup below the 235 — creates a stable fishing platform with correspondingly more surface area to protect. Choose between solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years), both anchored by reinforced stitching, hem cord at the rubrail, and adjustable tie-down straps engineered for the 222 Sportfish’s specific hull geometry. The cover wraps below the T-Top hardtop while leaving the fiberglass roof exposed.
The Mid-Range Sportfish Breakthrough
The 222 Sportfish occupies the critical size class where Scout’s sportfish boats gain true offshore range. With 100 gallons of fuel, you’re no longer limited to close-in inshore runs — the 222 supports full-day trips to reefs, wrecks, and deep-water structure that the 195 and 202 can’t comfortably reach on a single tank. The 20-degree deadrise provides the ride quality for those longer runs in open water, and the 10-person capacity means you can fish with a crew. Your cover protects the fishing infrastructure that makes the 222 Sportfish productive — the premium helm station, live well system, rod storage, tackle areas, and the deck hardware that accumulates salt and UV damage fastest on boats that run open water regularly.
