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.

ShearWater 25 LTZ T-Top Boat Cover — Full-Size Pad-Vee Bay Boat Protection
The ShearWater 25 LTZ measures approximately 25’ overall with an 8’6” beam, roughly 4,000 pounds dry, and the proprietary Pad-Vee hull that defines every ShearWater — a full-size bay boat platform built by American Marine Sports at their Groveland, Florida facility. The Pad-Vee hull blends pad-style shallow-water performance with vee-hull offshore capability, giving the 25 LTZ the confidence to run skinny-water redfish flats and handle open-bay chop in the same trip. Built to NMMA standards with corrosion-resistant Deutsch connector wiring, waterproof console, and cartridge-style livewell pumps, the 25 LTZ handles up to 350 horsepower with approximately 90 gallons of fuel. The extra length over the 23 LTZ translates to more casting room, deeper fishboxes, and expanded livewell capacity — the difference between a bay boat and a bay tournament boat. Browse the full ShearWater boat covers collection for every model in the lineup.
Tailored to the 25 LTZ’s Full-Size Bay Layout
This cover is pattern-cut for the 25 LTZ’s Pad-Vee hull, wider beam, full-size casting platforms, expanded fishboxes and livewells, and T-Top configuration. The fabric wraps the hull below the hardtop with reinforced cutouts around the T-Top support legs, while the white fiberglass hardtop roof stays fully exposed. A hem cord and adjustable straps secure the cover for trailering at highway speeds. Installation takes under five minutes solo. The companion model is the ShearWater 23 LTZ T-Top boat cover, covering the more compact LTZ bay boat with the same Pad-Vee precision.
Built to NMMA Standards, Protected by Premium Fabric
ShearWater’s NMMA-certified construction — Deutsch connectors, corrosion-resistant wiring, waterproof console — reflects a commitment to quality that lasts in saltwater. Your cover should match. Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for 5-7 years of UV and salt resistance, or premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8-10 years. Both are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and breathable to prevent trapped moisture damage in the humid coastal environments where bay boats live. Every cover ships with a 2-year warranty within 1-2 business days. For ShearWater’s largest offshore platform, the ShearWater 27 CC T-Top boat cover covers the twin-engine center console.
