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 Scout 277 Dorado T-Top cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric, which offers 5–7 years of UV and weather protection, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of enhanced durability. Both fabrics are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and designed for the marine environment.
Yes. The cover is pattern-cut specifically for the Scout 277 Dorado's dual console configuration with its fiberglass hardtop. It wraps the hull below the hardtop with reinforced cutouts around the support legs, while the hardtop roof remains fully exposed above the cover.
Installation takes under five minutes and can be done solo. Drape the cover over the 277 Dorado's hull, align the reinforced cutouts around the hardtop support legs, and secure the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs along the rubrail. No tools or extra hands required.
Absolutely. The cover features reinforced stitching and a secure tie-down system specifically designed for highway-speed trailering. With the 277 Dorado's 19-inch draft making it accessible from most ramps, you can keep the cover on from driveway to boat ramp.
Yes. The cover completely shields the 277 Dorado's helm electronics, GPS, fishfinder displays, dual consoles, cockpit seating, and all upholstery from UV rays, rain, salt spray, bird droppings, and airborne debris. The private head compartment and side entry door area are also fully covered.
Every Scout 277 Dorado T-Top cover includes a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The solution-dyed fabrics are engineered to maintain their color and water repellency well beyond the warranty period — typically 5–7 years for 9oz and 8–10 years for Sunbrella.
The cover is water-resistant with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish that causes water to bead and roll off. It's intentionally breathable rather than fully waterproof — this prevents moisture and mildew from building up underneath, which is critical for protecting the 277 Dorado's interior in humid marine environments.
This cover is designed for the Scout 277 Dorado with a factory-installed hardtop in standard production configuration. It fits all current production years of the 277 Dorado with the standard hardtop setup.
The 9oz solution-dyed fabric is available in Navy and Black. The premium Sunbrella acrylic adds Marine Blue, Black, and Smoke to the selection. All colors are solution-dyed, meaning the pigment is baked into the fiber for superior fade resistance over surface-dyed alternatives.
Shipping is a $30 flat rate per cover to anywhere in the continental United States. Orders typically ship within 1–2 business days. The cover ships compressed and folded for compact delivery, and expands to full size when unpacked.
Scout 277 Dorado T-Top Boat Cover — Dual Console Protection Built for the Lowcountry and Beyond
The Scout 277 Dorado is a dual console built by one of the most respected family-owned boat companies in the industry. Founded in 1989 by Steve Potts in Summerville, South Carolina, Scout Boats has spent over three decades perfecting the art of hand-laid fiberglass construction — and the 277 Dorado shows it. At 27’9″ with a 9’0″ beam, 22-degree deadrise, and a 164-gallon fuel tank rated for up to 450 horsepower, this boat handles everything from Lowcountry creek runs to offshore canyon trips without breaking a sweat. A custom-fitted T-Top cover from Perfect Fit Boat Covers protects the 277 Dorado’s fiberglass hardtop, private head compartment, dual 24-gallon fish boxes, 17-gallon baitwell, and convertible seating from UV damage, salt air, and weather between trips.
Tailored to the 277 Dorado’s Dual Console Layout
This cover is pattern-cut specifically for the Scout 277 Dorado’s dual console configuration, with reinforced cutouts that wrap precisely around the hardtop support legs while the fiberglass hardtop roof remains fully exposed above. The cover drapes smoothly over both consoles, the helm station, side entry door, cockpit seating, and leaning post — protecting electronics, upholstery, and gelcoat in one seamless fit. Installation takes under five minutes solo: drape the cover over the hull, secure the adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-downs at the rubrail, and you’re covered. The reinforced construction is rated for highway-speed trailering, so your 277 Dorado stays protected from driveway to Scout 275 Dorado boat cover and back.
Protection That Matches Scout’s Hand-Laid Quality
Scout’s 100% hand-laid fiberglass construction and 10-year hull warranty set a standard that your cover should match. Choose from 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric with a 5–7 year lifespan, or upgrade to premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8–10 years of protection. Both options are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and UV-stable with double-stitched seams throughout. Every cover ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty and is backed by the same commitment to quality that defines the Pursuit 280 boat cover experience across our full lineup.
