Destroyer thanks I just heard somewhere that the gas tank hatch had corrugated backing not wood. I am going to use the boat this summer after the rewire and then this winter I will pull the cap and replace stringers and transom as they aren't totally shot but I want to be sure that everything is in tip top shape. I want to post some update pics of wiring ans switch panel but I do hvac and have been working late the past couple nights. Gas tank hatch and battery cables are about all I have left before dealing with the merc 470 charging system and splashing the boat by my bday which is may 6th
