Just bought a 2002 330SS on a trailer,what brand and size of transom straps would you suggest ?

I’m not travelling far,only 15 miles twice a year,if that matters.
thanks in advance
 
In selecting straps, a lot of folks believe that they need straps strong enough to hold their boat to the trailer. But in reality, they need straps that are strong enough to hold the trailer to the boat. If I were in the strap market, I'd figure out what my trailer weighed, put a factor of safety of 5-10 on each strap and buy what works for you from a convenience standpoint. And then when the straps aren't in use, I'd store them out of the weather and sunlight for a long life.
 
IMO 2 inch is more then enough and agree it just needs to be strong enough to keep trailer to the boat. You can strap from the transom eyes, but in most cases the tabs are in the way (mine are). I use a 2 inch strap across the rear cleat down to the trailer. Don't know about Canada but there are some states here that also require a strap across the bow to the trailer depending on the size of the boat.
 
I’m hoping some 2 inch by 4 foot will do the job.
any brands better than others,ebay has many listed
thanks
