I believe the original BW owner's manuals referenced the interior bow lifting eye and stern eyes as suitable for lifting purposes. Keep in mind on a 1974 Whaler the eye and attaching hardware may be 35 y.o. or replaced with cheaper replacements over the years. Non destructive testing for your current parts is probably not cost effective. If this is for your private lift you may be ok since we don't have reports of many failures.
