And if you'd like, I can get Chris's spreaders at a discount...

Well, it would seem that the powers that are on vacation this week... Well, what they should do...

That rod is part of what's called a "lifting eye", allows the hull to support the boat when it is lifted, rather than the deck. I wouldn't get rid of it, if I were you...
