I personally would not use tape.

SF is correct - a bootstripe can vary by 50% or even more in width so it appears the same width, particularly under the stern. If this isn't done correctly it will appear to narrow down at the end - it looks "insipid" and amateurish.
Tape works well for cove stripes but a boot should be gelcoat or paint to look right.
