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 Sea Hunt 290 measures 29 feet LOA with a wide 9-foot 8-inch beam, a deep-V hull with 21-degree deadrise at the transom, and weighs approximately 6,000 pounds dry. Our cover is patterned specifically for these dimensions — the nearly 10-foot beam, twin-engine transom width, T-top leg spacing, and console position are all accounted for. The fit drapes from the T-top frame down to enclose approximately 85–90 percent of the hull sides with no excess material to pool water or catch wind.
Yes. The Sea Hunt 290 runs twin outboards producing up to 600 total horsepower. Our cover extends from the bow past the transom and completely encloses both engine cowlings, powerheads, lower unit connections, and all transom mounting hardware. The twin-engine transom is significantly wider than single-engine setups, and our cover panels are specifically shaped to wrap both engines without leaving gaps between the cowlings or along the outer edges — a critical fit detail that generic covers cannot achieve.
The 290's 200-gallon fuel tank provides exceptional bluewater range — well over 250 miles at cruising speed depending on engine configuration. That range means this boat frequently operates far offshore and spends extended time in harsh saltwater environments between trips. Our Sunbrella marine-grade fabric is engineered for constant salt exposure — it resists salt crystallization, blocks UV rays intensified by open-water reflection, and prevents mold and mildew growth in the humid conditions typical of coastal marina storage.
The cover features a separate zippered section that fits around the T-top support legs. The T-top roof remains fully exposed on top — only the underside edges of the frame serve as attachment points. This lets you install or remove the cover without fighting the hardtop structure. The 290 has a heavy-duty T-top frame with wider leg spacing than smaller Sea Hunt models, and our cover is patterned for the exact frame dimensions of this specific boat.
The Sea Hunt 290 has specific dimensions no generic cover can match. The twin-engine transom width, 9-foot 8-inch beam, T-top leg spacing, 21-degree deadrise hull angle, console rake, and gunwale height are all unique to this model. A universal 29-foot cover will leave gaps at the wide twin-engine transom, sag across the expansive beam, pool water on the aggressive hull shape, and flap loose in coastal winds. Our cover is cut from the factory specifications — every panel, strap position, and reinforced seam is calibrated for the 290.
Yes. The Sea Hunt 290 typically comes equipped with large-format GPS/fishfinder displays, VHF radio, and a full suite of helm electronics. Our cover provides complete coverage over the entire helm station and console area, shielding all screens and instruments from UV exposure that cracks displays, fades LCD panels, and degrades waterproof gasket seals over time. Consistent UV protection is the single most effective way to extend the lifespan of marine electronics.
Yes. At 6,000 pounds dry weight with a wide 9-foot 8-inch beam and twin engines, the 290 generates substantial wind load during highway transport. Our cover handles it — heavy-duty adjustable tie-down straps run beneath the hull and cinch tight along the gunwales, preventing wind lift at sustained highway speeds. Reinforced stitching at every stress point manages vibration and wind pressure during extended towing. The cover fits flush against the hull to minimize drag and eliminate destructive flapping.
A T-top mooring cover uses the boat's fixed hardtop frame as its primary structural support. For a 29-foot center console like the 290, this structural support is essential — the cover spans nearly 10 feet of beam width and 29 feet of length, requiring serious tension management to prevent sagging and water pooling. The cover attaches to the underside edges of the hardtop frame, drapes down to protect the cockpit, console, and gunwales, and includes a zippered section for the T-top legs. The hardtop roof stays exposed above. No other cover design reliably protects a boat this size.
We offer three fabric tiers. The 7 oz polyester is our entry-level option with a 3-year warranty, shipping in black. The 9 oz polyester is the most popular among Sea Hunt owners — the denser weave provides superior abrasion resistance and UV blocking with a 5-year warranty, available in navy or black. Our premium Sunbrella uses 100% solution-dyed acrylic trusted by marine professionals worldwide, carrying a 6-year fabric warranty in black, smoke, or marine blue. All polyester options use solution-dyed construction so pigment will not bleed onto your gelcoat.
Select your model year, storage method (trailer, lift, dry stack, or dock), T-top type (hardtop, hardtop with aft support bars, or canvas top), engine make and horsepower for each engine, and any aftermarket accessories like jack plates or Power Poles. The twin-engine configuration is especially important — note the exact engine models so we can shape the transom section correctly. Our design team combines these details with the 290's factory specifications to pattern your cover for a precise fit. Add any other modifications in the order comments.
Sea Hunt 290 T-Top Boat Cover – Heavy-Duty Protection for Sea Hunt’s Flagship Center Console
The Sea Hunt 290 is the original big-water center console that put Sea Hunt on the offshore map — a proven tournament-grade platform trusted by serious anglers for nearly two decades. At 29 feet long with a wide 9-foot 8-inch beam, a deep-V hull with 21-degree deadrise, and a 200-gallon fuel tank, the 290 delivers the range, stability, and rough-water handling that bluewater fishing demands. Our custom T-top mooring cover is patterned specifically for the 290’s hull dimensions, twin-engine transom, and factory T-top frame — not borrowed from another model and not a universal fit.
Why the Sea Hunt 290 Needs a Purpose-Built Cover
At approximately 6,000 pounds dry weight with twin outboards pushing up to 600 total horsepower, the 290 is a substantial offshore machine that has earned its reputation through years of proven performance. The wide 9-foot 8-inch beam provides exceptional stability in offshore seas and a spacious cockpit for tournament fishing, but it also means a larger surface area exposed to UV, salt, and weather during storage. Owners of similar large Sea Hunt platforms like the Sea Hunt 255 Ultra T-Top understand that a generic cover cannot handle the twin-engine transom profile, specific T-top geometry, and the nearly 10-foot beam of a boat this size. Every dimension on the 290 — the T-top leg spacing, console position, gunwale height, and engine cowling profiles — requires a cover cut to its exact specifications.
How the Custom T-Top Cover Fits Your 290
The cover attaches directly to the underside edges of the factory T-top frame, then drapes down to enclose approximately 85–90 percent of the hull sides while fully covering both outboard engines. The T-top roof stays completely exposed above. A separate zippered section accommodates the T-top support legs so you can install or remove the cover without fighting the hardtop structure. Reinforced stitching at every stress point, stainless steel snaps, and adjustable tie-down straps along the gunwales keep everything locked down through coastal winds and seasonal storms. The 290’s wide 9-foot 8-inch beam and twin-engine transom require specific panel shaping and extra reinforcement that smaller or single-engine covers cannot provide.
Built for the Toughest Marine Storage Conditions
With a 200-gallon fuel tank providing serious bluewater range, the 290 spends extended time in the most demanding marine environments — docked at exposed offshore marinas, stored on heavy-duty lifts, or trailered between tournament venues up and down the coast. Our 9 oz marine canvas is the most popular choice — the heavier weave provides superior abrasion resistance and UV blocking while breathing to prevent trapped moisture and mildew. For boaters who want the absolute best, our Sunbrella option delivers unmatched UV and mold resistance with a 6-year fabric warranty. The same construction quality and materials protect other large Sea Hunt fishing platforms like the Sea Hunt 30 Gamefish T-Top. Available in navy, black, and charcoal gray — purpose-built for the Sea Hunt 290 and nothing else.
