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 pattern-cut specifically for the Scout 255 LXF's 25'8" hull with its premium offshore center console layout. The fabric wraps the hull below the T-Top hardtop with reinforced cutouts for the T-Top support legs, enclosing the deep cockpit, helm station, leaning post, and all luxury seating areas.
The cover is designed for the 255 LXF's twin-engine configuration (up to 500 HP combined). The fabric extends aft over the transom and splash well while the engine lower units remain visible below. The pattern accounts for the twin-engine spacing specific to this hull.
Absolutely. The cover fully encloses the helm station, Garmin electronics, premium upholstery, leaning post, and all cockpit components under a UV-blocking, water-repellent barrier. For a luxury fishing boat with premium interior finishes, this level of protection is essential to maintaining the LXF's showroom quality.
Yes. The cover features double-stitched seams and a reinforced hem cord rated for highway trailering speeds. The adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs keep it tight and flutter-free during transport.
Two options: 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric (5-7 years, in Navy, Black, or Charcoal) and premium Sunbrella acrylic (8-10 years, expanded colors). Both are water-repellent, UV-resistant, and mildew-resistant — quality fabric for a luxury-class fishing boat that deserves premium protection.
Yes — the fiberglass T-Top hardtop roof remains fully visible on top. The cover wraps everything below the hardtop from bow to transom. T-Top support legs pass through reinforced cutouts. Outriggers, rocket launchers, and spreader lights mounted on the T-Top frame stay above the cover.
Under five minutes. Drape the cover from bow to stern, align the T-Top leg cutouts, and secure the strap-and-buckle tie-downs at the rubrail. The 255 LXF's beam is manageable for solo installation without tools.
Water-resistant with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish rather than fully waterproof. The breathable construction prevents trapped moisture and mildew — critical for protecting the 255 LXF's premium upholstery and electronics during storage in humid coastal environments.
A 2-year manufacturer warranty covers materials and workmanship. The fabric lasts well beyond that — 5-7 years for 9oz solution-dyed and 8-10 years for Sunbrella under normal marine conditions.
Yes — this cover fits all standard-production Scout 255 LXF models equipped with a factory T-Top. The NuV3 hull dimensions and LXF luxury fishing deck layout have been consistent across model years.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Scout 255 LXF T-Top Boat Cover
At 25’8″ with twin engines up to 500 HP total, a 150-gallon fuel tank, and Scout’s NuV3 triple-stepped hull, the 255 LXF is where the luxury fishing lineup begins—a serious offshore center console wrapped in premium amenities that most boats this size don’t offer. LXF stands for Luxury Fishing, and the 255 delivers on both halves of that promise. The deep-V hull cuts through Gulf Stream chop with authority, the twin-engine configuration provides the redundancy and power offshore anglers demand, and the 150-gallon fuel capacity gives you legitimate range beyond sight of land. Scout engineers in Summerville, South Carolina designed the 255 LXF as the entry point to their premium offshore family—proving you don’t need a 30-footer to fish seriously. The NuV3 hull’s three steps reduce wetted surface at speed, improving fuel efficiency and top-end performance while the sharp bow entry slices through head seas that would punish lesser hulls.
A Perfect Fit T-Top cover for the 255 LXF protects the helm station, premium forward seating, leaning post, live wells, electronics suite, and every square inch of deck space below the hardtop from UV, salt spray, and coastal weather. The LXF’s luxury upholstery and advanced electronics represent a significant investment above standard center consoles—the cover preserves that investment between trips. 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 custom-fitted for the 255 LXF’s specific hull geometry and 8’6″ beam.
Where Luxury Meets Offshore Performance
The LXF series represents Scout’s philosophy that fishing capability and refined comfort aren’t mutually exclusive. The 255 LXF packs premium features—electric-actuated livewells, insulated fishboxes, and luxury-grade helm seating—into a hull that genuinely performs offshore. As the smallest model in the LXF family, the 255 proves the concept before the lineup scales to 30-foot-plus flagships. Your cover protects both the fishing infrastructure and the luxury appointments that define the LXF experience—keeping everything offshore-ready without the hours of post-trip detailing that salt air demands.
