La Jolla cudas (X-factor ??)

that was an idea too, which my buddy mentioned but the only thing there was a small bait rod, and i dont think it could have gotten enough force from only a few inches to pull it out. the only other things were in the front hatch and werent small enough to move into the hull deeper. either way, my dad got metal rivets today and reinstalled it with washers behind the rivet so all is well. thought about nuts/bolting it, but he wants to try the metal rivets first
