Question:

I need short ratchet straps for 16 foot john boat. My hands are quite arthritic so I need the easiest two hook ratcheting system as most standard models are too difficult for me to use

If 6' is long enough I recommend the CargoBuckle Mini G3 Retractable Ratchet Straps - 1" x 6' - 466 lbs - Qty 2 # IMF111640. These are self-retracting straps that maintain constant tension for minimal ratcheting when tightening straps down. They have a wide, rubber-coated handle that is easy to hold and operate. The hooks are vinyl coated and the straps have a safe working load limit of 466 lbs. To release the strap you will use the quick-release lever.

I have attached some review videos so you can see how they work.
