I have seen lifting eyes used at a new boat dealer...emphasis on the NEW part.
When I first got my V20, the bow eye broke just tightening the winch after driving it on the trailer.
On an older boat I wouldn't trust that the lifting eyes and the area they are mounted to are still like they were when new.
