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 Sea Pro 180 is 18' LOA with a 7'5" beam. Our custom-fitted T-Top cover wraps the hull below your hardtop frame and is engineered specifically for the 180's modified-vee hull shape. We'll confirm your T-Top dimensions before cutting to ensure a perfect fit.
No—our T-Top cover is designed to wrap the hull and cabin area below the hardtop structure. The hardtop frame itself remains exposed. This design allows better air circulation and prevents moisture buildup on your vessel while providing superior sun and UV protection where it matters most.
Our 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric weighs approximately 12-14 lbs for an 18-foot boat. The Sunbrella acrylic option is slightly heavier at 15-16 lbs. Both are manageable for two people to deploy or stow, and our reinforced tie-down system keeps everything secure.
The 180 can handle engines up to 140 HP. Many owners prefer the 115 HP option for fuel efficiency on this smaller hull—you'll still cruise comfortably at 30-35 knots. Your choice depends on whether you prioritize speed or economy. Either way, our cover protects your engine compartment equally well.
The 180 holds 45 gallons, giving you a comfortable range for day trips on bay systems. With a 115 HP engine, you'll get excellent fuel efficiency; the 140 HP option burns through fuel faster but provides more performance. Our T-Top cover keeps your fuel systems shaded and protected from harmful UV rays.
Absolutely. Many owners keep the cover on in boat sheds, garages, or under covers at launch facilities. Solution-dyed marine fabric breathes and resists mold—ideal for indoor storage. Just ensure adequate air circulation to prevent moisture accumulation, especially in humid climates.
The 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric is our value option, offering 5-7 years of durability with excellent UV and water resistance. Sunbrella acrylic is premium—it lasts 8-10 years, resists fading better, and handles extreme weather more reliably. Choose Sunbrella if your boat stays moored in direct sun year-round.
Rinse it with fresh water when you return from saltwater boating, and let it air-dry completely before stowing. For stubborn algae or mildew, use a soft brush and mild detergent—avoid pressure washers. Proper storage in a dry location extends fabric life significantly.
Yes. We back our solution-dyed marine fabric with a 5-year coverage warranty and Sunbrella with an 8-year warranty. These cover manufacturing defects and seam failures. Wear from UV exposure, weathering, or improper care is excluded—that's normal aging.
Definitely. Browse our full Sea Pro lineup—we offer covers for the 190, 199, and 1900 SV models as well. Each cover is tailored to that boat's unique hull shape and dimensions. Visit our homepage or filter by the T-Top category to compare coverage types and pricing.
Sea Pro 180 T-Top Boat Cover
The Sea Pro 180 is the perfect entry point to the Sea Pro family, a compact 18-foot bay boat born from the Hancock family legacy that started in 1989 in Newberry, South Carolina. When Sea Pro relaunched in 2015 under founder Jimmy Hancock and Preston Wrenn—the visionary behind Tidewater Boats—they returned to their core mission: delivering fishing-ready layouts and smart equipment that competitors sell as costly add-ons. The 180 weighs just 1,500 lbs, seats up to 6 people, and runs up to 140 HP. With a 45-gallon fuel tank, 7’5″ beam, and modified-vee hull optimized for both bay systems and shallow grass flats, this boat punches above its weight. Our custom T-Top cover wraps the hull and cabin below the hardtop frame, shielding your vessel from UV rays, salt spray, and weather degradation while you’re not on the water.
The Sea Pro 180 is built using 3D CAD-designed hull technology and foam-filled fiberglass construction—the same durability standards that make Sea Pro boats fleet favorites among guides and weekend anglers across the Southeast. Your investment in this capable little bay boat deserves equal protection. Our T-Top cover features reinforced double-stitched seams, hem cord at the rubrail, and adjustable tie-down straps that keep the fabric taut and secure in wind. Choose between 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric (5–7 years of protection) or premium Sunbrella acrylic (8–10 years), both UV-resistant, water-repellent, and mold-resistant. Removing and reinstalling takes minutes, and the lightweight design is manageable by one person.
Small Bay Design & Performance
The Sea Pro 180 is part of the manufacturer’s Small Bay family—boats built for anglers and families who need a nimble, shallow-draft platform. With its 15-degree transom deadrise and 12-inch draft, the 180 slips into skinny water where bigger boats get stuck. The hull is optimized for fuel efficiency; even with the 140 HP option, you’ll cruise comfortably at 30-35 knots without draining your tank. The boat’s fish-ready layout includes standard features (not pricey options): livewell systems, rod storage, and console design that keeps you protected from the elements while offering 360-degree fishing access. A quality T-Top cover ensures your hardtop stays vibrant and your cabin stays mildew-free during off-season storage—critical for bay boat owners in humid climates where growth happens fast.
