That's what I was thinking. However, there is a video of someone towing Bionic Guppy and they are pulling it from the lifting eye. Different boat though.

<span>Hi James,</span>
</div>
<div>
<span>I think you need to tow from the front leading edge to avoid crabbing.</span>

Hi All,
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Has anyone towed a K boat from the forward lifting eye?
<br>
<br>
I am going to tow my boat to a better diving location. I think the best place to tow it would be the very front, on the hand rail mounting post. At this point there is a 20mm stainless bar bolted through the forward tank and into the framework. Although its a thick bar, I have a feeling it might get damaged if I tow the boat from that point. Forward lifting eye would be better but ive got a feeling it might now tow very well.
</div>
<div>
<br>
Any thoughts?
<br>
Thanks
</div>
<div>
James
