I disagree with jody.
I think this is an excellent idea, just don't use the nylon. Find the polypropylene straps that wont rot or retain water.
Like these from Cajun TieDowns:

Tie Down - 2 Inch Ratchet - Boat -Gunwhale - S Hook
This boat tie down has been designed with an extra long anchor end which puts the ratchet over the boat where it is easily reachable. The overall length is 12 feet. Made from the highest quality polypropylene,
these straps will not rot, mildew, or retain water, and are resistant to oil, grease, and acid they also have high abrasion resistance.
$16.50
Although, UV might still break down the straps after a few years use, but at only $16 a pop, sounds like its still a feasible option.
