Thanks Skip,
Yes, I was concerned about putting screws into my boat to attach hooks.
I did call Mills and they said they were called fender hooks.
They could supply them or West Marine. $12 / pair.

I will look into your vendor. I do like the idea of a pull string to the stern.
I guess it may be a little difficult to get that final tie while the boat is in the water?

Thanks Much,
Doug
