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 boat cover for the Sea Hunt 229 Ultra protects the entire cockpit, console, helm electronics, leaning post, and seating surfaces from UV exposure, rain, bird droppings, pollen, and airborne debris. The cover extends aft over the outboard engine to shield the powerhead and cowling from sun damage and moisture. By keeping the interior dry and shaded, a boat cover also prevents mildew growth on upholstery, reduces fading on gel-coat surfaces, and helps maintain the resale value of your 229 Ultra over multiple seasons of ownership.
The cover is patterned using precise measurements taken from the Sea Hunt 229 Ultra hull, including the console height, windscreen profile, and grab-rail placement. A tailored cutout wraps around the console and windscreen so the fabric lies flat without bunching. Reinforced stitching at the console edges and around protruding hardware like grab rails prevents chafe, while the adjustable hem cord and snap system along the rubrail keep the cover taut and secure even in gusty conditions.
Yes. The cover is designed to drape over the outboard from the aft deck in a single gradual slope, covering the engine cowling and powerhead completely. The aft hem cinches down with adjustable straps and a drawcord below the cavitation plate. The 229 Ultra accommodates a single outboard up to 250 HP, and our pattern is sized to cover the full engine profile without excessive slack that could catch wind or pool water.
The 9 oz marine fabric is our most popular choice — it is a heavy-duty, solution-dyed polyester that provides excellent water resistance, UV protection, and breathability at a lower price point. Sunbrella is an acrylic-based fabric that offers superior colorfastness and mildew resistance, making it the premium choice for boats stored in hot, humid climates or kept outdoors year-round. Both fabrics are breathable to prevent trapped moisture, and both come with reinforced double-stitched seams and stainless steel hardware.
No — please remove the cover before towing your Sea Hunt 229 Ultra. Our covers are not designed to be trailered: towing with the cover on can cause severe damage to the cover and voids the warranty. The cover is designed for storage only — on a trailer, boat lift, dry stack, or jet dock — and comes off in minutes at the ramp.
Most owners can install the cover in about five to ten minutes once the snap locations along the rubrail are set during the first installation. The initial setup involves positioning the snaps to match the pre-installed attachment points on the cover, which takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes. After that first setup, the cover goes on and off quickly — unfold from the bow, drape aft, snap along the gunwales, and cinch the hem cord. A matching storage bag is included for stowing the cover aboard when you're on the water.
The Sea Hunt 229 Ultra has a length overall of 22 feet 8 inches and a beam of 8 feet 6 inches. These dimensions determine the cover's footprint. The dry weight of approximately 2,600 pounds and the modified-V hull shape with an 18-degree deadrise affect how the cover drapes over the gunwales and transom. We also account for specific features like the leaning post height, rod holder positions, and the single-outboard transom cutout to ensure the cover fits without interference.
Your Sea Hunt 229 Ultra cover is backed by our manufacturer's warranty for the original purchaser. Materials and workmanship — stitching, straps, buckles, zippers, and other hardware — are covered for 1 year from the purchase date. Fabric is covered for 3 years on 7oz, 5 years on black or navy 9oz, and 6 years on Sunbrella. Covered defects are repaired or replaced after you contact us for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. The warranty does not cover improper use, accident or negligence, unauthorized modifications, improper care, mold or mildew, incorrectly placed orders, theft or loss, or acts of God — and traveling with the cover on or using it in the water voids the warranty. See our Warranty page for full details.
A center console boat cover is a full-hull cover that protects the entire boat — deck, cockpit, console, seating, and outboard engine — while the boat is stationary on a lift, on a trailer, or in dry stack storage. It attaches along the rubrail with snaps, straps, and a hem cord. A T-top cover, by contrast, is designed for boats with a hard T-top structure and typically attaches to the T-top frame itself, covering only the area beneath and around the tower. Since the 229 Ultra is a center console without a T-top, a boat cover is the correct choice for full protection.
Ordering is straightforward — select your Sea Hunt 229 Ultra from our product page, choose your preferred fabric (9 oz marine fabric or Sunbrella), and pick a color that matches or complements your boat's gel coat. We use the factory hull specifications and our proprietary pattern library to cut and sew your cover. No measuring or templating is required on your end. The finished cover ships directly to your door with all hardware, a storage bag, and installation instructions. If you have aftermarket accessories like an upgraded leaning post or non-standard electronics, let us know at checkout so we can adjust the pattern.
Pricing: 9oz $1,015.00 · Sunbrella $1,195.00 — your final total appears below as you build your cover.

Why the Sea Hunt 229 Ultra Deserves a Custom-Fitted Cover
The Sea Hunt 229 Ultra is one of the most versatile center consoles in the Ultra lineup — big enough to handle offshore excursions yet compact enough for easy trailering and storage. With its 22’8″ LOA, 250-horsepower rating, and 83-gallon fuel capacity, the 229 Ultra is built for long days on the water. A boat like this deserves more than a generic tarp draped over the gunwales. Our custom center console boat cover is patterned specifically for the 229 Ultra’s deck layout, console profile, and outboard configuration, giving you a tight, secure fit that keeps moisture, UV rays, and debris out of every corner of the cockpit. Whether you’re on a lift at the marina or parked in the driveway between trips, this cover works hard so your boat doesn’t show its age. Browse our complete Sea Hunt cover lineup to see every model we protect.
Built for the 229 Ultra’s Center Console Layout
Every detail of this cover is shaped around the Sea Hunt 229 Ultra’s specific geometry. The console cutout wraps cleanly around the helm station and windscreen, while reinforced stitching at the bow eye, cleats, and rod holders prevents chafe at the hardest-working stress points. The aft section drapes over the outboard engine in a single, gradual slope — no bunching, no pooling — and cinches down at the rubrail with a combination of stainless steel snaps, adjustable straps, and a sewn-in hem cord. If you’re considering a similar-sized model, take a look at our Sea Hunt 211 Ultra T-Top cover for another example of how we tailor coverage to each hull.
Fabric That Stands Up to Years of Sun and Salt
You can choose between our 9 oz marine-grade fabric — the most popular option among Sea Hunt owners — or upgrade to Sunbrella fabric for maximum UV and mildew resistance. Both options are solution-dyed for colorfastness, breathable enough to prevent trapped moisture, and tough enough to handle season after season of coastal weather. Reinforced double-stitched seams and stainless steel hardware come standard on every cover we build. For anglers who want the same level of protection on a larger center console, our Sea Hunt 234 Ultra center console cover uses the exact same construction and materials.
How Our Covers Are Made to Fit Your 229 Ultra
Each cover starts with precise measurements taken from the Sea Hunt 229 Ultra hull — not approximated from a generic pattern. We account for the console height and width, the placement of grab rails and rod holders, the transom angle, and the outboard footprint. The result is a cover that fits like it came from the factory, installs in minutes, and stays put even in high winds. Every cover ships with a matching storage bag and a warranty covering fabric defects for up to 6 years. Shipping is a $30 flat rate within the US.
