I prefer boats and pools owned by friends as well.
Pools are another good one.

Kids always asked for a pool! I said listen guys you got enough relatives and public splash pads to go to, we are not adding that nightmare to our property 🤣

This is why I borrow a boat.

It's someone else's money pit.
🤣 I'll be honest... We have a 17.5' aluminum bass boat and it hasn't been a money pit at all.
I don't know if that's because we take care of our shit, or it doesn't get used enough. 😁
We used to get out every weekend, but this year...we've been preoccupied with other shit!

No pool.... 😂

To be fair, a coworker of mine has a 20' Grizzly center console, and it's about 11 years old now, and it hasn't given him any money issues other than self inflicted ones. Kinda like Jeep - sometimes they only cost money cause you can't stop buying stuff for them 😄

I stopped at the boat dealer today and bought a pair of 1” x 16’ long straps for my cover and they were $127. They’re special. 😆

I honestly don’t know if you’re joking or not but I hope you are. Ida been at harbor freight for some $15 tie downs and a couple carabiners. Hell some nylon rope and some knot skills would be even cheaper!!

No joke. I bought 4 of them because I bought a pair for a friend also. They’re for a power cover/bimini for a pontoon. I didn’t ask the price first cause I wanted them. 😬

I'd rather not take chances with a $12k cover.

I know for sure what the marina sold me is right for the application.
I like the clip ends on yours. I can only ever find the cam buckle straps as a loop it seems.

Edit:

I like those for my usage. Not pretty enough for a boat, though.

Between my boys and I, we have atleast 8 sets of these.

I've had mine for 5 or 6 years, never had an issue yet. I hang my $9k motorcycle off the back of my pickup with them.
I have several other products of theirs, all seem pretty good.
