Can anyone suggest a block and tackle system that is reasonably priced?

I had bought some from Harbor freight many years ago and they lasted about five years without any type of care. They were good. They were like $20 each or $40 each.

I just wasted about $120 on Amazon buying ones that seems like the same ones from Harbor freight, but in reality, they were toys. They were not even full-size.

I am definitely open to the nice ones also, but they keep looking like they are $1000. I’m not feeling like that’s a very good price for what it is.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I think four pulleys/blocks on each side makes it good.

In the Caribbean you won’t have problems with having much work for hoisting the dinghy because it will be taken from you shortly after arrival if not hoisting it

hahaha... yet another reason why we are in french poly and never going anywhere near caribbean !
