Hat model jeep? Fo you have a pic?
I'd probly if the platform is higher the the rubrail is go over the platform a d have the strap go under it
doing this would creat a tention proble
in the back if you just keep the cover tight to the boat and go above the platform you will need to tie the center of the covr down somehow perhaps a strap could tie to the platform  or you could make it cover the platform also     Is this to be used in the water?  It would be allot asked to I stall for him with a snap on  you could do a seperste bow cover and then a cockpit cover   But allot of gelcoat can still fade

Ok here we go for the bayliner I did the interior he wants a full cover made down to the rub rail.
The only problem I see (mabey just a brain fart) is the back boarding platform has a support that runs higher than the rub rail there making it a little hard for a drawstring to work there. I was thinking about anchoring the draw string on either side of the cut out for the support? any other ideas that work?

Im still pushing  for a snap on cover


I always criss cross the draw cord to the tow eyes on opposite sides. Having the
cord come out of the hem at the center is best but if it comes out at either side of
the platform support works just fine.
