From my research I found that the width of a 16-ft Clackacraft weight forward drift boat is 83-inches wide and the height of the sides is 23-inches.

To make sure you have enough strap to reach the trailer frame on each side of the boat I recommend a strap like part # IMF17637. This is a 2-inch x 20-ft strap and it has a 400-lb capacity. The strap has vinyl-coated S-hooks and a Kwik-Lok buckle to hold the strap secure.

If you want to use a shorter strap I recommend part # IMF17636. This strap is 16-ft long and has the same features as the longer model, part # IMF17637.

I recommend you measure your boat across the middle and the height you need to reach the boat trailer to make sure you get the right length strap.
