I am not sure if it was made for just this, but I would build one row of planks (1″ or 1 1/4″) across the bottom, and then add a 3″ wide or 4″ wide piece on each side. This hole looks like it might fit in that top piece? I wish I had a boat front like that. I made one out of a big piece of pipe. But these have a much better radius. D
Thanks Donn. It is also interesting that the head doesn’t just have a simple curve to it. It curves up but then has a gentle curve back toward the front. Somewhat shaped like a “S”.
How cool. I have the identical head and am wondering the same thing. I was going to mount some vertical iron to make a ‘front’ rail for the stone boat, like on a forecart.
