Top Knot. Good price, good looking lines, good quality.

On a HydroHoist it's a good idea to push the boat back against the lines before you raise the lift. I do it every time. That way ( as your boat is pointing toward the friggin moon ) it will not slip backwards.

If you had to use a screwdriver to remove the line from the cleat, you're KNOT using the correct knot . . .

The way go-fast props churn up the water, even at idle, anything within 6' gets sucked in, floating or not.

I was the "friend" that RAddiction was rafted up to. I was looking straight at the line when it parted. The wake-rocking wasn't that violent or extreme, and the broken line would have resulted in a major drama if the raftup had been any more than just the two of us. I selected my lines based on their ability to do their primary job - protect my boat by holding it in place. I understand the attraction of floating lines, or lines with your boat's name embroidered on them - I've bought from every company mentioned here. They all make a well-manufactured product, but there are "horses for courses", and sometimes strength counts more than everything else. In that case, you want nylon braid-on-braid, and I've been very happy with Miami Cordage. Ecstatic, as a matter of fact. Custom-made lines at a price equal to or cheaper than off-the-shelf equivalents.
