We are considering using straps that have a ratchet
in them to help hold our boat onto the trailer. This
boat does not have eye-hooks in the back and we
don't want to install any. I'm quite certain the boat
would stay down just fine on it's own, but a little
extra protection can't hurt.

Anyway, some of the mechanisims on these seem
cheap. I'm just looking for comments about these
in terms of favorite brands, brands or types that
have given you trouble, etc.

Thanks,
Gary
