As some of you know I am the recent owner of a 303 SR-1.....love the boat! Anyway, I want to use a set of mooring whips at my dock. To do this correctly, I would need to add an extra cleat more forward towards the bow. Has anyone done this to there Formula, and how did it hold up? My concern is stress cracking around the cleat from where mounting holes are needed. I did this once on a MasterCraft with great success, but the 7500+ lbs of the 303 has me a little concerned.

Thoughts/comments/suggestions encouraged. Thanks!
