This weekend I am doing the last bit of restoration and modification to my dad's Sanger before he comes down on the 18th and I surprise him.
I am installing 4 cleats on the boat so he can tie it off easier to his dock. He had throat cancer and now has a trache tube in his neck so water isn't exactly his friend if he were to fall in the lake from trying to tie off from the bow eye or the stern. I actually thought about mounting them on the inside of the gunnel (similar to the passenger grab handle)so they don't take away from the lines of the hull. 2 cleats next to the front seats and 2 back in engine compartment gunnels. Cleats are a must for my fathers safety.
What do you guys think?
