Wow! I never expected so many replies! Thank you guys so much! I will definitely be making some purchases soon. Like I said before, it wont be for another while longer before I start building the kit, but I definitely want to make it a memorable experience and by posting it up here on RCU, I think it will end up being an awesome experience. Ill definitely be going to a beach soon to get some zip lock bags filled (i think that was the best/cheapest idea so far). As far as the clamps, I guess a good variety would be my best bet. I saw a bunch of different ones on amazon, but ill keep looking. I am really excited for this build and I hope I do a good job on it. Thanks for the input so far, and I will definitely be keeping you guys updated!
