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.

Tidewater 2700 Carolina Bay T-Top Boat Cover — 27-Foot Premium Bay Boat Heritage Protection
The Tidewater 2700 Carolina Bay stretches the Carolina Bay series to 27’2” with a 9’4” beam, approximately 4,100-lb dry weight, and twin outboards rated up to 600 total HP. The 2700 represents a remarkable achievement in bay boat design — big enough to handle open-bay crossings, nearshore reef runs, and even moderate offshore conditions, yet built with the shallow draft and stepped-bottom hull that lets you chase redfish across flats that offshore boats can only dream of reaching. With 141 gallons of fuel and a 15-degree deadrise, the 2700 Carolina Bay dominates the middle ground between bay boat and offshore platform. Browse the full collection of T-Top boat covers to find protection for every model in your fleet.
Custom-Fit for the 2700 Carolina Bay’s Unique Hull
The Carolina Bay’s stepped-bottom hull creates a distinctive profile that demands a precisely tailored cover — this T-Top cover is pattern-cut to the 2700’s specific dimensions. The center console, leaning post, casting platforms, rod holders, livewells, and all standard hardware are accounted for. Reinforced cutouts wrap cleanly around T-Top legs, and the cover drapes over the full 27’2” hull from bow to stern. One person installs it in under five minutes using the strap-and-buckle system, and the hem cord locks beneath the rubrail for a tight fit at towing speed. For the largest model in the Carolina Bay series, see the Tidewater 3100 Carolina Bay T-Top cover.
Lowcountry-Tough Fabric for Lowcountry Fishing
The 2700 Carolina Bay lives where the conditions are harshest — shallow tidal flats with no shade, salt-saturated air off the marsh, and the humid Carolina lowcountry climate that accelerates mildew growth on unprotected surfaces. Choose 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for 5-7 years of UV and weather resistance, or upgrade to premium Sunbrella acrylic for 8-10 years of maximum protection. Both fabrics are water-repellent with a DWR finish, mildew-resistant, and breathable to prevent trapped condensation from damaging the 2700’s upholstery, electronics, and gel coat. Double-stitched seams and reinforced stress points handle season after season of use, and a 2-year manufacturer warranty covers materials and workmanship.
