Post Factor 55
I'm going to put a winch in my next boat with the line coming through the pipe and the fairlead mounting on the front.

Last.weekend I saw Chris's Warn Premium hook and thought about getting one but they discontinued them.

Ended up finding Factor 55. They make a lot of stuff for off road winch accessories. They make some super nice stuff. I'm going to get a Prolink XTV, the short drum fairlead and a soft shackle.

They are pricey but I think it will look a ton better on the front of a $25k boat rather than a plain galvanized hook.

Just figured I would pass this on to the people that have winches and want another option for a hook.

Man that thing is pretty sharp looking. I don't think I've really seen anything like that before some of those other hooks and stuff are pretty cool as well.

I like the flat link too and it would probably be better for boats but I like the looks of the Prolink better.
