Hello Dennis,
To get the right tie-downs for your 5,000 lb boat, you'll need tie-downs that have a combined working load limit (WLL) of more than 5,000 lbs.
So for example, you could use the 833 lb BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Bow Tie-Down Strap # IMF14220, the 833 lb BoatBuckle Heavy Duty Ratchet Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF14207, and two of the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Gunwale Tie-Down Straps # IMF14221.
This'll give you seven total straps with a WLL total of 5,831 lbs.
