Holes In Freedom

This boats not leaking
I put the holes in stern and bow like in the plans but I just didn't like the look and the edges were sharp I worried about it cutting the rope when I was hauling yak or tied up on river.
I got to thinking( Jack don't say it) and went to hardwaare store bought 4 woodwn knobs. I took a drill and threw together a little temperry wood lath to shap them.
Mixed some epoxy and mounted them in hull, this is before holes are opened all the way thru
another angle
After drilling out holes and tappering them so they were smooth I took some of the scrap plywood and made 2 carrying handles. They were made so I could double rope and it wouldn't slide or wear on boat but my
line on the front could continue on as long as I wanted it.
The light is to bright but you can get the idal of what I did
I like the way it turned out.
