About Center Console Boats
Center console boats are one today’s most popular styles. They are a type of single-decked open hull boat where the helm is placed in the center. Center console boats can be used for a range of activities from fishing to watersports to relaxing on the water. Some center console boats have cabins which are usually located in the bow and hold small sleeping berths. Most center console boats have open deck space or seating in the bow which makes it incredibly versatile and comfortable.

How to Measure Your Boat For A Cover
Before purchasing center console boat covers, it's extremely important to measure your boat properly to ensure you have accurate dimensions. Ordering the wrong size center console boat tops can lead to poor performance, premature wear, bagging and sagging, and overall frustration when trying to put it on your boat. But measuring your boat is quick and easy if you follow our helpful instructions!
- Measure the centerline length
Measure from the tip of the bow to the center of the stern in a straight line without measuring up or around obstacles. - Measure the beam width
Measure your boat side-to-side in a straight line at the widest point (outside to outside), without measuring up or around obstacles. - Additional tips
- Don't rely on the owner's manual to provide accurate measurements
- Be sure to include the entire length, factoring in the dimensions of any additional features such as a trolling motor, center console, jack plate, aftermarket pulpit, anchor davit or swim step.*
