1985 Ski Supreme rear tow hook (In Need Of)

[192135lock]

Hello, I need some help! I recently began the restoration of a 1985 Ski Supreme. I am in desperate need of the rear tow hook for the rear of the boat. From what I remember it was a octagon shape with a small flap on top to hold the rope(Not the general round one) I have a few pictures of what i'm looking for from another boat. Any help or guidance would be appreciated, I have looked everywhere, parts for a old ski supreme are very hard to find. Thank you

In the picture it will be the center hook.

Any particular reason you can't just use a standard one?

My father bought this boat brand new in 84, he sold it 14 years later. I grew up in the boat, I just located the boat after looking for 5 years for it. It is in very poor shape. The hook on the back was missing(dont know why it was taken off). I just remember sitting on the swim platform playing with this hook, as did my dad. He has no clue that I have the boat back, and I plan to give it to him when i get it finished! This is just one of the last pieces that I need to make the boat complete, as we all remembered it. Its more of a sentimental thing, not so much that I couldn't buy an off the shelf hook, I would just rather have the kind I remembered.

I guess if it were me and I cared about it that much, I'd look up every 85 ski supreme that is currently for sale on the internet and offer the guy $100 to take the hook off of it.

Here is a little better picture of what I think you are looking for:
