Cool
I usedto make
alot
of thoose covers the cockpit cover over the window where it's  not a curved window I did them with 6 dartsover the window 2 at the point of the front center opening glass 2 at the corners of the shield and 2 at the point on the side where it's kinda goese from flatins to more angled your gona need a dart there also.
Me I used gypsy snaps onthe bow a d overlaps the two to prevent water though you need a fewocki g fastner o. Tbe bow as it will want to unsnapped witht e  cockpit snaped to it.

Sorry Guys forgot to report back  :-[

OK, I took all the advise.    And did my own thing  :P


As it has a ski pole, I thought it was a bit daft to give them another pole to loose.
The boat is now being left afloat & exited from the rear. I did a test run putting it all on front to back & it seems ok. Time will tell if the ski pole makes a good enough run off angle.
I though I would be clever & make the sides separate  :-X should have done the one piece idea I think, oh well good practice for the next one  ;D

Gypsies on the front between the two covers & front cover snapped on the back of the centre screen ( bases already there) Used all the old pop bases, replaced a few & added one or two here & there. Two short straps inboard by the engine for adjustable tension.

Skirt around the o/board well looks cool. Nice touch.

Is that a antenna laying sideways a Ross the bow suzi?
Looks good have you e er done a overlap at the vow like that.  The bow cover can pull the cockpit cover snap offi put a few locking snaps also to hold it. 
What the hecp is that webbing running from the ski pole to the lower unit for he can't be using it to hold the motor up the leverage would be no good to do that

Couldn't agree more, common name for them in the UK ( south coast Richard) is bin liners.  :D It's been resurrected once already. Sat in a garden for years uncovered, the floor is rotten & the seats are evil. " but it's just for fishing ! "

Mike it's the guys first boat, he has a lot to learn. Yes it has two antennas, no idea what for.
