Jay, I cut off the original hook and Dremeled the plastic base up into the fuse for a new tow hook mount.
Then with my dremel cut open a slot 4.00" long X 3/4" wide and glued in, with 5 min epoxy, a 1/8" ply base for mounting an adjustable Airtronics tow hook. Right now my hook is set at the C/G which is 3.00" aft of the wing L/E and my launch height is as good as you could hope for. Also I have a 5/16" dia. carbon rod inside the f/glass wing spar for additional bending stiffness during launch and the 2.0 oz xtra weight of the carbon rod doesn't bother. Sand O/D of rod for a slip fit. Also you can use a steel rod instead of carbon for more ballast for windy weather. I used 5 min. epoxy for all assy. and it is just fine after one season. Winch launch is not a problem either.
