Wife gave me one more hour boat time. Front is coming together aswell. Right side is ready (1st section from the front only as you can see). I really love this stage. It makes huge difference how the boat looks like. Next I need to have some progress at gas tank area.

I found these awesome wire clamps from internet. My new transom doesnt get 100 holes because of these!

Oh please do share. Atleast the name of the product so I can research here in the states.

It is HellermannTyton PMB5. There was also some other manufacturers here (Schneider) that had 3M sticker on them. Sticker models were cheaper but I think that PMB5 would last forever.

Yeah, not interested in the self stick adhesive tie wrap bases. I use those at work, and over time they fall off. Thanks for the info. I'm gonna look those up.

Yesterday I soaked the cleats, bedded the drain pipe (to drain the compartment in Cabin) and bedded the last bulkhead in cabin area. I also drilled holes to transom and did some test fitting. Im off untill 25th of April. I have training in Illinois. See you guys soon! Ill send some pics later today.

Allright. Done with the training (and some sightseeing). Time to head back to north and continue with my project. Ive planned the rest of the restoration to my calendar. The lake was still frozen (pic attached) a week ago so Im not in a hurry!

Ready to put gastank down. After that its time to put some cleats to hold the tank still and some other cleats to hold down the deck (thats why there's no paint on the top). My deck sheets are also glassed from the bottom side so Im pretty close for glueing the deck sheets to the hull. Im one week late from my schedule at the moment.

Some new pics for you. I placed valve to drain the gas tank area, i had to install it a bit off from the center line to make sure I dont drill to cabins drain pipe. I also placed two pipes for the gas hoses (fill and vent) so i can replace them in the future if necessary. It also makes sure the gas doesnt leak to foam if the hose starts to leak.
