thank you to every single person on here who recommended social media such as Instagram and Facebook we are in full swing of production right now and having an amazing year coming out with new products for exedra. thank you to all the members of this site for your years of support. if you have not already please follower Instagram as it helps us to reach out to more and more people we are continuing to keep our prices the same as they have been for years even with the rise in steel prices. The only part of it that we cannot control is UPS's hikes in rates which have taken our shipping from between 50 and $60 to between 60 and $70 still not bad considering what we are shipping
I did a little upgrade to my EZ ski hauler. Boatbuckle makes a version 3 that is quite a handy size and seems to function extremely well.
My only complaint has ever been the straps that I have to deal with and now that is a thing of the past. Load the ski, release the lever and it pulls out the slack, hook it, ratchet it and you're done. It has mostly stainless Hardware however I believe the spring is plated so be aware they may only last a few years and probably less in salt conditions. Cost is about 50 bucks at your favorite retailer.
Additionally I'd like to add that I have over 6,000 miles on the carrier with zero issues. I absolutely love the product.

Feel free to steal the pictures if you like. I will keep you updated on how they function but I took my backup 650sx to the lake and back and loved it. Im working on a 4 ski hauler ATM so I can have a 5 ski pic with the hauler for you soonish (tm).

Nice!
I have those Boatbuckle straps on my wake boat trailer. Love'em!
And happen to have a spare sitting on the work bench too.
So I'm curious... what are you using to hook to the ski? I made a couple of loops out of an old cargo strap. I thread them through the holes on the jetskis bow & stern. Then hook my straps to that loop.
Wondering if anyone has figured out anything more simple. The day I lose one of those loops, I may have a problem.
I have d rings on my main ski so that will be easy but with my 650 this trip I hooked the front to a pull lead I made of of braided 550 cord attached to the front and the rear I wrapped a two foot dock line around the extended plate and hooked the hook to it.

I don't have one of them but I used to and they fit through the bow hole and through the hole in the foot rest but they are made out of a nylon so you can't crack down really tight there used to be a company that made them out of metal and I wish I could find them because I really like how our strap system goes from underneath because it looks cleaner

I think @wetdreams (maybe he changed his name? @Big Kahuna ) was making them again.

I have one at home, I can take a pick and send. FYI, these are plastic junk and not for a tie down and tow. Id never trust it that way. These are only for quick docking, water tow, etc.

He did used to make them. He even took my feedback, made them better, and gave me a discount for the help. Kick ass ones. Metal drop pin with a strap loop like used to exists. I hold onto my old ones like gold even tho i dont need them anymore
I'm going to take this opportunity to plug another company, Spanky's Marine in Parker Arizona. They make really good ropes for $0.50 a foot and will take custom orders. Soft Loops for four bucks an end. This is what I use on the rear of my ski to hook it to the carrier. This one is called a buoy tie and is six bucks.

Having a separate loop or hook works. But the fact that you now have the strap fixed to the hauler, it would nice if the loop was too. Then you can't lose it & have to improvise.
Agreed. I am going to draw something up and have spankys make something that I can integrate into my carrier system. Only thing is I dont want to be dragging it when the ski is off the carrier, these hooks tuck out of the way nicely in stock form.
