just ordered 8 ladder straps and 8 ratchets for my 3 pyranha boats and backup for less than $100, killer tip!

Thanks for this tip. I had watched this figuring I’d maybe need it someday, but that ended up being right away. Just got done installing and it wasn’t too difficult.

Good solution. I ended up replacing the Pyranha backband in my Firecracker with a Dagger backband. I'm much happier with it.

Great stuff. Slippery webbing is improved with a little abrasive abuse. Sand paper...

Any suggestions on how/what to replace a set of waka grab handles with? Love the boat but the handles stress me out

Interesting. I've been paddling Pyranha's with similar outfitting since 2002 and never had any issues with the ladders stripping or the ratchets wearing out. I feel like I'm in the minority but I like the Pyranha outfitting. I sold my Jackson boat last month because I absolutely hated the outfitting.

Hey Alex do you have any recommendations for upgrading with the stout 2 thigh brace as the IR ladders won’t fit through the moulded thigh brace thanks Sam

These are sold individually. So it’s $9 per side for both ratchet and ladder, $18 for a full replacement. Not including webbing if you don’t have extra. Still cheap but not $6 lol Good hack/ information though!
