Anything special about those other than their shorter length, or are they the same as any other ratchet strap?

Some models are permanently attached to the trailer frame and retract into themselves for neat and tidy storage when the boat is off the trailer as opposed to unhooking them at both ends and putting them in your tow vehicle while you're on the water.  My dealer was ready to send me down the road without any until I told them it was illegal to haul a boat with only the front tied down. Would have brought some had they bothered to tell me they weren't included. Had a 4 hour drive each way to pick up the new boat..... they included them after I put up a bit of a stink
