I believe so Severn.  at the time I put that up, they did
have them available.  If you find otherwise, see if they can
hook you up to the manufacturer and let me know the process
so I can change the site.

I had fiberglassed the deck of my Northbay so I do not think
it would compromise the strength.  For just wood and epoxy,
I don't have a clue but would imagine that if they were
glued in with a good mix of silica, it should be fine. 
Better than just raw small holes anyway.
