Hey George! Our highest capacity straps are going to top out at 1,167 lbs apiece. They're sold in pairs so using all four of them will definitely handle the weight of your 20 Center Console boat. One of the pairs is a bolt on style and the other is your traditional ratchet strap with s hooks at either end I have listed below:
Bolt On - CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Tie-Down Straps item # IMF18800
Standard - CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Straps w/ S-Hooks item # IMF18800-86
