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
Our cover is custom-patterned specifically for the Sea Hunt 229 Ultra's 22'8" LOA and 8'6" beam. It attaches to the underside of the factory T-top frame and drapes down to cover approximately 85–90% of the hull sides, fully enclosing the Yamaha F200 outboard. The pattern accounts for the 229 Ultra's Vortex hull geometry, console placement, and transom width for a precise, model-specific fit.
The Vortex hull's variable deadrise creates subtle curves and transitions from bow to stern that differ from conventional V-hull designs. Our cover is engineered to conform to these Vortex-specific contours, ensuring the fabric sits taut without wrinkling across the entire hull profile. This precision fit also means the cover properly supports any water or ice accumulation during harsh weather without sagging or pooling.
Yes. The cover wraps the stern and engine area as one continuous fabric piece, creating a natural contour around the Yamaha F200. The sizing accounts for the standard 229 Ultra dimensions with this engine installation — no separate engine boot is needed. The fabric extends from the T-top frame down past the engine cowling to the hull's chine, providing full outboard protection during storage and trailering.
The cover attaches cleanly at the underside edge of the T-top roof panel using stainless-steel snaps, with minimal hardware visibility between the fabric and roof structure. The T-top roof stays fully exposed on top so rain and debris slide off naturally. The fabric drapes symmetrically around the T-top's support posts — which become nearly invisible inside the cover — and secures along the gunwales with additional snap points and adjustable tie-down straps.
Yes. The cover is designed for both mooring and trailering. The multi-point tie-down system anchors the cover's bottom perimeter to your trailer frame at multiple secure points, keeping the fabric taut and preventing wind-induced flapping at highway speeds. The 229 Ultra's 2,600 lb dry weight makes it a common trailering boat, and the wide 8'6" beam means proper anchoring is essential — our tie-down straps are engineered with corrosion-resistant hardware for exactly this purpose.
For a 22'8" offshore center console, 84 gallons is a substantial and appropriate fuel load that supports extended range. The cover sizing accounts for the boat's dimensions with typical fuel capacity and normal equipment aboard. For maximum cover accuracy, we recommend taking measurements with the boat in its normal operating condition — typical fuel load and standard gear aboard.
The 229 is slightly longer (22'8" vs. 22'5") and heavier (2,600 lbs vs. 2,550 lbs), though both share the same 8'6" beam and Vortex hull design with 18-degree variable deadrise. Each cover is patterned specifically for its model — the 229 cover accounts for the additional 3 inches of length and slightly different console-to-transom proportions. The covers are not interchangeable between models.
A T-top mooring cover is a fitted fabric cover that attaches to your boat's T-top frame and drapes down over the hull for storage and trailering protection. Unlike a full canvas enclosure — which creates a sealed, walkable space you can use while aboard — a mooring cover is designed purely for protection when the boat is not in use. It keeps out UV rays, rain, salt spray, pollen, and bird droppings while allowing airflow through the breathable marine fabric to prevent mildew buildup.
We offer three options: 7 oz. polyester for lightweight handling and value (3-year warranty), 9 oz. heavy-duty polyester for boats facing tougher conditions or extended outdoor storage (5-year warranty), and Sunbrella solution-dyed acrylic for maximum UV resistance and colorfastness (6-year warranty). For a 229 Ultra stored in a marine environment with salt spray, we typically recommend 9 oz. polyester or Sunbrella. If your boat stays in a sheltered location, 7 oz. offers solid protection at a lower price point. Our team can help you decide based on your specific storage setup.
Select the Sea Hunt 229 Ultra T-Top from our product page, choose your fabric and color, then complete the order form with your boat's details — year, engine make and size, storage type, T-top configuration, and any aftermarket accessories. Our team confirms everything and begins production on your custom-patterned cover. Turnaround varies by season, but we keep you updated throughout. If you have questions about fitment or options before ordering, call or email us and we're happy to walk you through it.
Sea Hunt 229 Ultra T-Top Boat Cover
The Sea Hunt 229 Ultra T-Top represents a mature evolution of offshore fishing capability. Measuring 22 feet 8 inches in length with an 8’6″ beam and weighing 2,600 pounds dry, the 229 Ultra combines spacious accommodations with serious power — a Yamaha F200 running on 84 gallons of fuel. The Vortex hull employs an 18-degree variable deadrise that optimizes the boat’s planing dynamics, providing both responsive handling and a cushioned ride through varying sea states.
Our cover for the 229 Ultra T-Top envelops the entire boat in a single, continuous protective layer. The fabric attaches cleanly at the underside edge of the T-top roof panel with minimal hardware visibility. From that attachment point, the cover drapes symmetrically around the T-top’s support posts and extends down to the hull’s chine. Browse our full selection of T-top boat covers to compare options across all makes and models.
Vortex Engineering Requires Precision Fitting
The Vortex hull design demands more precision than conventional V-hull construction. The variable deadrise geometry creates subtle curves and transitions that must be followed exactly for proper fit. Our cover is engineered to conform perfectly to these Vortex characteristics, ensuring the fabric sits taut without wrinkling and properly supports the weight of water or ice that might accumulate during harsh weather. The 18-degree variable deadrise also contributes to the 229 Ultra’s refined fuel economy — an efficiency our cover helps preserve by protecting every system from environmental damage during storage.
Fabric Selection for Durability
The 229 Ultra T-Top deserves durable, high-quality protection. We offer three fabric systems: 7 oz. polyester for value and light weight, 9 oz. polyester for serious durability in marine environments, and premium Sunbrella acrylic for the highest UV protection and color stability. All fabrics are solution-dyed and breathable, resisting mildew buildup and preventing moisture accumulation inside the cover. The 2,600-pound dry weight and 84-gallon fuel capacity represent a substantial investment; premium fabric protection makes financial sense for long-term value. For even larger offshore capability in the Ultra family, check out our Sea Hunt 232 Ultra T-Top cover.
Professional Installation and Secure Anchoring
The 229 Ultra T-Top cover arrives with all tie-down systems, hardware, and installation documentation. The multi-point tie-down design anchors the cover’s bottom perimeter to your trailer frame at multiple secure points, keeping the fabric taut and preventing wind-induced flapping. The wide 8’6″ beam means professional-quality anchoring is essential for safe towing and reliable long-term storage. With proper installation and maintenance, your 229 Ultra will remain protected through seasons of storage and ready for action whenever you cast off. Owners who also run the center console configuration may want to explore our Sea Hunt 229 Ultra CC cover for that hull.
