Just a suggestion, but I would run the electrical through that 2" before you glue down the sole. Those short turn 90's might give you a headache :doh:

Just take an air compressor blow a string trough it with a little piece of foam attached to it, then pull the wiring with the string trough the pipes no headache at all

I ran my electric through 1.5" with short elbows no problem. It got a little crowded but everything went through in the end. I used a shop vac to suck a piece of wadded up paper tied to a piece of 100lb braided line, and then pulled everything individually (tie another piece of line to the wire you are pulling). Wished I had used 2" so I'm sure you will be fine.

Boat is looking great. Was my other choice when I was looking but it's too much for the 40hp motor I own. You and Peter are going to have to go fishing together!

What size scuppers would you guys recommend? i saw 52mm on the plans but with the choppy sea over here i think that there is gonne come a lot of water in the boat... so should i buy bigger ones?

Do the scupper have to be in the transom lockers or can you put them more to the middle?

That is probably 52 mm radius, 10 cm diameter.
I agree that large scuppers as safer.
