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 245 SP T-Top Boat Cover
The Scout 245 SP is the full-size flagship of Scout’s Sport Platform family — a 24’5″ hull with an 8’6″ beam, 20-degree deadrise, up to 300 HP, and a 125-gallon fuel tank that transforms the sport platform concept into a serious day-cruiser and fishing machine with genuine offshore range. Where the 205 SP proves the concept, the 245 SP fulfills it at scale. The 125-gallon tank is the largest in the SP lineup, giving the 245 the legs for all-day offshore runs, island-hopping cruises, and multi-stop fishing trips that smaller sport platforms can’t sustain. Scout engineers in Summerville, South Carolina, stretched the NuV3 triple-stepped hull to its maximum sport platform configuration — the 20-degree deadrise cuts through open-water chop, the triple-step design keeps the 2,600 lb hull efficient at cruise, and the 300 HP ceiling delivers the kind of performance that blurs the line between sport platform and dedicated offshore boat.
A Perfect Fit T-Top cover for the 245 SP protects the largest and most feature-rich sport platform in the Scout lineup. The 245’s expanded deck carries more equipment, more seating, more electronics, and more exposed surface area than any other SP model — all of it vulnerable to the UV degradation and salt corrosion that shorten equipment life and erode resale value. 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 245 SP’s specific hull contours. The cover wraps below the T-Top hardtop, leaving the fiberglass roof exposed while delivering comprehensive below-deck protection across the full 24’5″ length and 8’6″ beam.
The Sport Platform with Offshore Credentials
At 24’5″ with 300 HP and 125 gallons of fuel, the 245 SP crosses into territory that most sport platforms don’t reach — genuine offshore capability with the versatility to handle watersports, family cruising, and tournament fishing on the same platform. The 20-degree deadrise provides a comfortable ride in the kind of sea states that send smaller boats home, and the NuV3 hull’s foam-filled construction ensures unsinkable flotation. The sport platform layout maximizes open deck space for activities that range from live bait rigging to sunset entertaining. Your cover protects the entire below-deck investment — helm electronics, upholstery, live wells, rod storage, audio system, and the extensive gel coat that defines the 245 SP’s premium finish.
