Topic:   WTB 8" "vintage" cleat

posted 08-19-2012 10:55 AM ET (US)         Looking for a 8"stainless cleat, sometimes called Herreshoff, open base, or yacht style. I know these are readily available, however, Boston Whaler evidently used an unusual bolt pattern in 1993;about 3 3/8 center to center lengthwise and about 1 7/8 center to center width. Most of the current 8" cleats have 2 7/8 center to center bolt pattern lengthwise and 1 3/8 width. I'm trying to match a cleat to existing holes and don't want to patch and redrill to fit a new cleat. I already called Sue at Twin Cities Marine and she had what was supposed to fit drop shipped from Boston Whaler; it doesn't fit. http://www.flickr.com/photos/saphot/sets/72157631142256928/ Anybody have an old one for sale or have any leads?
