I thought I had some details on line but I can't find them. But you can see what I did here. The heads of the screws are INSIDE the loop. They hare hidden out of sight and that allows you to keep the loop really small. It's hard to beat this method. It's cheap and simple. Just add some caulking under it when screw it place.

I never put any painter on this one. But as I said I just use a long drill bit and slowly drill through skin and wood and pull a string back through. Then pull my para cord or whatever I am using and tie it in a loop. But to tie it to a car, I prefer to just loop the line around the boat, it's stronger.
