<p>I bought Heavy Duty truck straps from HomeDepot for less than $20 each, and modified them for my own use.</p>

<p>If you are adverse to such an inexpensive solution (because the ratchet will eventually rust closed and the whole contraption will need to be replaced if not kept lubricated), this outfit sells strap and stainless steel ratchets:</p>

<p>I used line on mine when I first built it. There was no decent way to get the line cinched tight, so in a seaway the interior hull edges "knocked" on the beam as the line stretched. I switched over to 20,000lb straps and the ability to cinch everything tight was a breeze. No more knocking; no more line maintenance; no more worries.</p>
