Benzomatic makes a really neat makers torch, I use it for everything. They have a oxy propane/map as well and you can run those on grandpa's oxygen machine so you don't have to buy the small tanks. A $75 book of faces o2 generator and a bbq grill tank you can cut, braze, and weld with. Beats a...

YES. The eye is fixable. You could just weld the eye to the hull if you didn't care about looks as much. use vice grips on the head of the bolt and heat that eye with a map torch, shouldn't take much heat to make it pop it's corrosion. Chase with a penetrative oil while it's warm.
