BoatBuckle... Pros... Cons?

[Homerr]

My transom tie downs are needing replaced soon.<br />A good stainless set is around $35-$40.<br /><br />I've been looking at the BoatBuckle system, but the stainless versions cost almost $80.<br /><br />The standard version is a little cheaper, however I think the stainless would be a better choice for the waters I visit.<br /><br />Anyone use the BoatBuckles? Are they worth it?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />H.

Re: BoatBuckle... Pros... Cons?

I have the SS buckles on my trailer. I bought them after deciding that messing with loose straps was a real pain in the arse. I bought the standard ones at first, but after thinking about it, the extra $20 I paid for the SS over the regular buckles was well worth it. Now I just grab the strap and pull- two clicks of the handle and Waa-Laa, the boat is strapped. I've never had it so good. <br /><br /> If you can mount them on the trailer and they work, by all means buy them. A GREAT addition to any trailer. <br /><br />UFM82
