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
Yes — this cover is pattern-cut specifically for the Sportsman 19 Island Reef T-top configuration. It fits the 19-foot-1-inch length with 7-foot-7-inch beam, attaching at the T-top roof frame and enclosing the entire boat and single outboard as one continuous piece.
No — Sportsman discontinued the Island Reef series around 2018, replacing it with the Heritage 211 and Open 212 in their current lineup. Our cover continues to protect every 19 Island Reef model year with the same precision fit and full hull coverage.
The 19 Island Reef supports a single outboard up to 115 horsepower. Our cover fully encloses the engine as part of the continuous fabric drape past the transom, creating a natural gathered pouch around the cowling regardless of which outboard is mounted.
The Island Reef 19 is slightly shorter at 19 feet 1 inch versus the Island Bay 20 at 20 feet 1 inch, with a narrower 7-foot-7-inch beam compared to 7 feet 8 inches. The Reef has a deeper deadrise at 16 degrees versus 14 degrees. Our covers are pattern-cut for each specific model to account for these dimensional differences.
We offer two marine-grade fabrics: our heavy-duty 9oz solution-dyed polyester — the most popular choice for durability and colorfastness — and premium Sunbrella acrylic, which is lighter with exceptional UV resistance and breathability. Both resist mold, mildew, and fading through years of coastal exposure.
Installation takes about 15 minutes with two people. Start by draping the cover over the T-top roof frame, then pull the fabric panels down on all sides. Secure using the included adjustable tie-down straps that buckle underneath the hull and connect to the trailer frame. Works on trailers, boat lifts, and dry storage.
Absolutely. Our cover completely encloses the cockpit area including the console, all 14 rod holders, electronics, leaning post, and every piece of deck hardware. Only the flat fiberglass T-top roof panel remains visible, shielding every interior surface from UV, rain, bird droppings, and debris.
A T-top mooring cover is a one-piece fitted cover that attaches at the T-top roof frame and wraps down to enclose the entire boat while in storage. It shields the console, seating, deck hardware, electronics, and T-top structure from UV damage, rain, bird droppings, pollen, and debris — extending the life of every component.
Our 9oz solution-dyed polyester is the most popular choice — it is heavier, extremely durable, and offers excellent water resistance at a lower price point. Sunbrella acrylic is lighter, more breathable, and provides superior UV protection, making it ideal for boats stored in intense sun year-round. Both fabrics come with manufacturer warranties.
Select your boat model, cover type, and fabric choice on the product page, then add to cart. Every cover ships with the fitted cover, all necessary tie-down straps and buckles, a storage bag, and a detailed installation guide. Most orders ship within 5 to 7 business days.
Sportsman 19 Island Reef T-Top Boat Cover (Discontinued Model)
The Sportsman 19 Island Reef is a 19-foot-1-inch center console with a 7-foot-7-inch beam and a hull weight around 1,100 pounds. Powered by a single outboard up to 115 horsepower with 28 gallons of fuel capacity, this modified-V hull delivers 16 degrees of deadrise at the transom — enough to handle light chop while its 13-inch draft opens up skinny-water flats and mangrove-lined creeks that larger boats cannot reach. Built with a one-piece gelcoated fiberglass hull using foam core construction, the 19 Island Reef was Sportsman’s compact fishing machine — a small-footprint center console loaded with 14 rod holders and designed for anglers who prioritize access to shallow coastal water over offshore range. With a top speed around 35 knots on the Yamaha F115, the Island Reef punched well above its size class for performance.
Our custom-fitted T-top mooring cover wraps the entire 19 Island Reef as one continuous piece of solution-dyed marine fabric. The fabric attaches at the underside edges of the T-top roof frame and hangs down like curtain panels — angling forward toward the bow and rearward past the transom to fully enclose the single outboard engine in a natural, gathered drape. All four T-top support legs disappear completely inside the fabric, leaving only the flat fiberglass roof panel visible at the top like a low hat. The cover bottom edge extends nearly to the keel, leaving only a thin strip of hull visible at the trailer tire line.
Discontinued but Not Forgotten — Island Reef Owners Deserve Premium Protection
Sportsman discontinued the Island Reef series around 2018, but these compact center consoles earned a loyal following among inshore anglers who valued their shallow draft, nimble handling, and surprisingly generous rod storage. Thousands of 19 Island Reef boats remain active on coastal waterways and deserve protection that matches their build quality. Choose our heavy-duty 9oz solution-dyed polyester — the most popular option among boat owners for its exceptional durability and colorfastness — or upgrade to premium Sunbrella acrylic for superior UV resistance and breathability. Both fabrics are solution-dyed through the entire fiber so the color is locked in permanently, resisting mold, mildew, and fading season after season.
Compact Console, Complete Coverage
Installation on the 19 Island Reef takes about 15 minutes with two people. The cover ships with all necessary tie-down straps, buckles, and hardware plus a detailed installation guide. Adjustable straps secure under the hull and connect to the trailer frame, keeping the cover locked in place through storms and highway trailering. At just over 1,100 pounds hull weight with a 7-foot-7-inch beam, the Island Reef 19 is one of the most compact T-top boats we cover — our pattern accounts for every inch of this smaller footprint to ensure a snug, gap-free fit.
