I recently looked into after market boards for my Infusion from a UK composite company. I don't remember the name of them but they had a listing for boards for Infusion, Tiger, and Wildcat. The price was twice that of what I payed for the Nacra boards which appear to be pretty darn good quality. I just wish Nacra would have drilled the upf*cker hole because I don't want to take the drill bit to my pretty new boards.

Drill the hole oversized. Fill with chopped glass/epoxy. Then re-drill the smaller hole for the upf*cker line.

Mike,
I've tried that technique on my hollow HT rudders with only modest success. The mixture seems to sag away some. Just not thickened enough? Other tricks?

Not thick enough. Tape one side and lay it horizontal ro set.

You can glue G10 rod in as well and then drill that. No sagging schmoo.

I put a 3mm dyneema into my starboard board. I just drilled a 3mm hole all the way through, then drilled it out a bit bigger on the far side for the knot to fit. put the line through the hole, tied a knot, covered it with epoxy stick, then gelcoat, can't even tell where it was and I've had no issues. I guess you could use regular epoxy but all your trying to do is seal the hole and I wanted to be able to remove it relatively easy incase I ever needed to access it.
