Have you thought of using a padeye screwed to stringer, friction ring, and dyneema? Would be a lot cheaper (and lighter) and you could DIY it. Would serve same function just as well. Don't have time to get into it, but look around at what is possible since probably would be done this way today on a new boat. Cheaper, easier, better imo.
