Default boat cover photos

I need a bit of help here. I am looking for any slick ideas you guys have come up with for covering a boat with integrated swim platform on a lift. I actually own a checkmate but I know the fountains have these platforms as well. my existing cover covers the platform but has bungees under the platform to pull the cover tight. when the boat is on the lift I cannot get at the bungees to finish covering the boat. I am going to have a new cover built and was wondering if anyone has any good ideas. thanks a lot!

I have a full down teh sides cover for use on the lift during the week. I tied 4 short peices of rope on each side to the covers tiedown loops, and also have hooks screwed into the sides of my outer bunks with 2 at each rear corner. Just install the cover, slip the 8 rope loops over the hooks, then pull the draw string tight and loop around the steering tiebar to keep the rear of the cover down tight.

My cover comes down the sides as well and forms around the platform. It has a cord running around the lower perimiter that ties to an adjustable strap on the side. It has a really tight fit, so all I do is throw the cover on and walk away.

Snaps all the way around is the way to go.
