Heres the tow eye. I took a length of 1.25"? sched80 pvc and filled it with thickened epoxy/glass and bedded it vertically in the stem, then heavily glassed it in. Drilled some holes on either side of that, and took a piece of clay about 1" diameter and wrapped it around the glassed pipe and out thru the holes, then glassed around the clay on the inside. Afterward the clay got melted out with a torch and were left with an all glass wraparound hole. Got a few layers of cloth inside it as well afterward...
