Ought to be in a museum!!

Thanks guys. I believe I got the hardware for my 200's eye from SeaDog and was quite nice and  not terribly expensive. Used a round eye, not the cleat, to avoid interference with the quick release mount for MinnKota TM. Will have to take a look at Accon.
Course the stern eyes seem pretty light duty and likely should be upgraded.Guess it is time to cut a hole or three!

It is indeed a rare find in its original form. 

Congratulations!

Thank you CB !
Still waffling a bit on grabbing instruments of destruction to make it 'work' for me....or leaving her unscathed.
I was in awe when I saw it and could not pass it up.....but that bubble got burst when it seemed not all that unusual to find one in this condition and with all the cool 1970's 'stuff'. I mean the green rub rail doesn't even look faded, let alone have a mark. Now that funky light pea soup floor color and upholstery....well, it'll have to grow on my wife. She made reference to baby $-*# green......
Yet I guess it comes down to ...it's a boat. Albeit a really cool old boat....meant to be appreciated....but meant to be used. I see a discrete bow lifting eye, likely through bolted stern lifting eyes, and a bow trolling motor mount in its future.
