 Boat Buckles?
Are boat buckle straps any good? How do they handle dirt/mud and being dipped in and out of water over time? My ratchet straps get hard to open up after a few muddy gravel roads. Are the boat buckles sealed to prevent this?

They are the shit. Get some. You won't be disappointed. I have them on 2 boat trailers and have not had any issues.

 Re: Boat Buckles?
They are bad azz! I got the big expensive ones on one of my trailers then on my last one I bought the cheaper ones that look like ratchet straps (boat buckle brand) and the worked good for my boat.

 Re: Boat Buckles?
Make sure you get stainless steel! Don't get it if it isn't, it will not last.
