Starcrat Sealite 12' have them. Maybe you can contact starcraft marine and order a set and adapt them.

Re: Transom Corners With handles

My old Lund[aluminum] had separate handles near the corners of the transom.When I redid the transom,I left the handles off. What are they for? Certainly I'm not gonna be picking the boat up by those. ??? Unless I wanted a hernia.

I did a search. I'm on Dial-up so its time consuming.
I got this:

I put handles on the stern corners and the Bow on my 12' rowing skiff. They are handy things to have. I got mine used from wrecked boats.

I ran a quick google search and it looks like Lowe has cast transom corner brackets with integral handles, stern corner castings with handles and bow casting with handle

I'm sure some of the other aluminum boat manufacturer's, Lund, Crestliner, etc, etc have these also. Look at their websites and see if you can identify a model that has them, then see if you can buy a pair.

Cheapest would be to find them off a junker boat or maybe Ebay.
