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 Xplor X7 center console cover is available in two solution-dyed marine fabrics. The 9oz solution-dyed polyester provides 5 to 7 years of UV and weather protection, suitable for trailer-stored skiffs or seasonal use. The Sunbrella marine fabric upgrade offers 8 to 10 years of protection with superior fade resistance for year-round outdoor exposure.
The cover creates a single tent-like canopy that peaks at the center console, the highest fixed point on the boat. From there it slopes smoothly down over the bow, gunwales, and transom in all directions, fully enclosing the entire boat including the outboard engine.
Yes. The Xplor X7 center console cover is designed for solo installation in under five minutes. Drape the cover over the boat, position it so it peaks at the console, then secure the adjustable strap-and-buckle system at the rubrail. No tools are required.
Yes. The cover is reinforced for highway-speed trailering with heavy-duty stitching and an adjustable strap-and-buckle tie-down system that keeps the fabric tight against the hull at speed. No snaps or grommets are used.
Yes. The center console cover fully encloses the entire boat from console to transom, protecting electronics, deck hardware, rod holders, and the outboard engine from UV exposure, salt spray, rain, and debris.
Every Xplor X7 center console cover includes a 2-year workmanship warranty covering stitching, seams, and hardware. The warranty reflects the double-stitched, UV-resistant thread construction used on every cover.
Both fabric options are water-repellent with a finish that causes rain to bead and run off. The fabric is breathable by design rather than fully waterproof, which prevents moisture and mildew buildup underneath the cover — critical for protecting the X7's deck surfaces during extended storage.
The cover is patterned to fit the Xplor X7 with standard production dimensions and factory console configuration. If your X7 has aftermarket modifications that alter the console profile, contact us with details for fitment confirmation.
The Xplor X7 center console cover is available in multiple solution-dyed colors including Navy, Black, and Charcoal. Solution-dyeing locks the color into the fiber before weaving, which prevents fading through years of direct sun exposure.
Shipping for the Xplor X7 center console cover is a flat rate per cover with delivery in 1 to 2 business days. The cover ships directly to your door or marina.
⏱️ Current lead time: 1–3 weeks — every cover is custom-made for your boat.

Xplor X7 Center Console Boat Cover — Purpose-Built Protection for a Precision Poling Skiff
The Xplor Boatworks X7 is an 18’9″ ultra-light poling skiff built for anglers who live on the flats. Weighing just 650 lbs dry with a 7’4″ beam, the X7 is designed from the hull up for sight-fishing — a minimalist deck layout, integrated poling platform, and shallow draft that lets you stalk reds and bonefish in water most boats cannot reach. A single outboard up to 115 HP keeps the package nimble and responsive. Our custom-fitted center console cover creates a single tent-like shape that peaks at the console and slopes down to the gunwales in all directions, fully enclosing the cockpit, console, and outboard engine beneath one continuous canopy. Whether the X7 sits on a trailer between dawn patrols or spends weeks at a time in storage, this cover blocks UV damage, salt spray, and weather from degrading the skiff’s gel coat, electronics, and deck hardware. Explore our full selection of boat covers at Perfect Fit Boat Covers to find the same custom-fit approach across hundreds of hulls.
Tailored to the X7’s Minimalist Flats Layout
Every Xplor X7 cover is patterned to account for the model’s low-profile center console, flush-mount rod holders, poling platform, and clean foredeck. The cover peaks at the console — the boat’s highest fixed point — then drapes smoothly down over the bow, gunwales, and transom, fully enclosing the outboard motor underneath. At just 650 lbs dry, the X7 is a dedicated trailering boat, and this cover is reinforced for highway speeds with an adjustable strap-and-buckle system that cinches tight at the rubrail without any snaps or grommets to corrode in saltwater. One person can install the cover solo in under five minutes — drape, adjust, strap, and go. For a larger bay boat platform, take a look at the Ken Craft 239 Bay Rider center console cover.
Protection That Matches Xplor Craftsmanship
Xplor Boatworks built the X7 with precision and purpose, and your cover should reflect that same attention to detail. Choose our 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric for 5 to 7 years of reliable UV and weather protection — ideal for trailer-kept skiffs that see regular use. For year-round outdoor storage, upgrade to Sunbrella marine fabric for 8 to 10 years of service life with superior color retention. Both fabrics are water-repellent, mildew-resistant, and breathable to prevent trapped moisture from damaging the X7’s interior surfaces. Every seam is double-stitched with UV-resistant thread, and a 2-year workmanship warranty backs the entire cover. Flats anglers who also run a bay boat may want to explore our Sea Chaser 19 Sea Skiff center console cover — another shallow-water platform built for skinny water.
