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
We offer three fabric tiers for the 229 Ultra. The 7 oz polyester provides lightweight, budget-friendly protection ideal for trailered boats that spend most of their time under a carport. The 9 oz solution-dyed polyester — our most popular option — delivers a tighter weave with superior UV resistance and mildew protection, rated for 5 to 7 years of continuous outdoor use. The premium Sunbrella acrylic upgrade extends that to 8 to 10 years and offers maximum fade resistance, making it the best choice for 229 Ultra owners who dock their boat in full-sun southern climates year-round.
Yes — the cover is custom-patterned with reinforced cutouts that wrap precisely around the 229 Ultra's factory T-Top support legs. The fabric attaches at the underside edge of the T-Top hardtop roof panel, then drapes down around the support posts and extends to the hull's chine. The white fiberglass T-Top hardtop remains fully exposed on top while everything below it — console, leaning post, cockpit, and hull sides — is enclosed. The cutouts are stitched with reinforced binding to prevent fraying where the fabric meets the aluminum or stainless T-Top legs.
Installation takes under five minutes working solo. Start by draping the cover over the T-Top frame from the hardtop attachment points, letting the fabric fall naturally around the support legs. Pull the cover forward to the bow and aft to the transom, then down each side. Secure the hem cord along the rub rail and fasten the adjustable tie-down straps underneath the hull. The cover is patterned to the 229 Ultra's 8'6" beam and Vortex hull contours, so everything seats into position without forcing or guesswork.
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.
The cover creates a complete barrier over every exposed surface below the T-Top hardtop. The Yamaha F200's helm gauges, fishfinder display, VHF radio, leaning post with rod holders, aerated livewells, insulated fish boxes, and all cockpit upholstery are fully enclosed. UV rays, rain, salt spray, bird droppings, and pollen are blocked from reaching these surfaces. The 229 Ultra's Vortex hull design includes several integrated storage compartments and fishing features that benefit from consistent coverage between trips.
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.
The cover is water-resistant with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that causes rain and spray to bead and roll off. It is engineered to breathe rather than seal completely — a fully waterproof cover would trap moisture underneath and promote mildew on the 229 Ultra's upholstery, electronics, and gel coat. The breathable design allows air to circulate while blocking 99 percent of direct water contact, which is the ideal setup for an offshore-capable boat like the 229 Ultra that may sit covered for extended periods between trips.
The cover is patterned to fit the standard-production Sea Hunt 229 Ultra equipped with a factory T-Top. Sea Hunt has maintained the 229 Ultra's core dimensions — 22'8" LOA, 8'6" beam, and Vortex hull with 18-degree variable deadrise — throughout its production run. If your specific boat has major aftermarket modifications such as a custom tower, extended hardtop, or oversized outboard bracket that significantly alter the profile, contact us to confirm fitment before ordering.
The Sea Hunt 229 Ultra cover is available in 9oz solution-dyed polyester in Navy or Black, 7oz polyester in Black, or premium Sunbrella acrylic in Marine Blue, Black, or Smoke. Choose your fabric and color in the order options above.
Shipping is a $30 flat rate per cover within the continental United States. Because every cover is custom-made to order, please allow 1–3 weeks for your Sea Hunt 229 Ultra cover to be made and shipped — you'll receive tracking information as soon as it leaves our facility.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

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 83 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 83-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 reliable long-term storage; remove the cover before towing. 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.
