We Have 19 EZG's called Beer Coolers here GDSHS. Use a carbon rod inside of the f'/glass wing rod for stiffness. Better than a birch dowel. Cut off the orig hook, mill or grind down the hook base to make it thinner and glue on a 1/8 ply plate for a new hook base and locate the hook at 3.00 behind the wing L/E. Same location as the C/G. Monster launches with Wade winches.
