I am a big fan of that type of hose clamp, and use them a lot. They are much better than the worm-type clamps, but they have their shortcomings. If you go to the link and look closely, you'll see that each side of the clamp relies on two spot welds. I've seen bad spot welds break. For that reason, I would still double clamp if I was using these in any location where their failure could sink the boat.
