Quality, preferably made in USA winch/transom straps?

[BlkGS]

Anyone have any recommendations? I found one company that offers them, really inexpensive as well, but their site sucks. They're called "USA Ratchet". Their transom straps appear to be made for jet skis, and not boats.

Seems like everyone else is selling made in China straps?

Check out Fulton. They are based in the U.S. But I don’t know if they Make their own components or import them from outside of the u.s. Fulton | Contact Us

I like buying local/u.s. as well but only if the product quality and price is comparable or better than competing foreign products.

Yeah I was looking at Fulton, it appeared they were made overseas.

I purchased and installed these.

Looks like Boat Buckle was founded in Indiana.

Boat buckles are great.

The stainless bolts and nuts that ships with them are not useable. Both seized up on me before I could get them all the way tightened and I ended up snapping one just trying to loosen it so I could use different bolts. They sent me improved hardware for free. This was in 2020 and based on reviews it appears to be an unsolvable problem for them.

+ 1 for Boat Buckles. They work fantastic.
