KR, I put them on my Yacht Club trailer when I bought the boat in 2007. Have never regretted it. Since my boat is only a 14 ft. Lund, I got the buckles that have the rubber coated curved hooks that hook over the rear gunwales right where my transom meets the sides of the hull. I mounted them to my trailer right behind the trailer tail lights.

I did also buy better hardware to mount them because I needed bolts longer that what they came with to go thru the trailer frame. So I never had the bad bolt issues others have mentioned. No more lost straps, and I just spray some WD40 in the mechanism a couple times each season. They have worked perfectly for 11 years.
