I figured, for no reason in particular, that wood may absorb shock and
stress better, where a piece of metal may pass that to the hull.

I intended to repair it by making a new piece of wood approximately the
same
dimensions as the old one then fiberglassing over it before attaching the
bow eye.

Why not use plate aluminum and never worry about it again?
