In this week's episode of Onboard Lifestyle we tackle a few more projects on our custom 435 catamaran SV basik before we rush to the aid of our neighbors in ...

welcome back to SB basic well yes we're

still in the art we originally thought

we'd be out of here in six weeks and we

probably would have we're going on week

seven now most you know we had a family

tragedy and it's it put the boat

projects on hold I mean we I mean at

that point it was all about family but

we're back on the boat

and we're starting to get back in the

groove gotta get testy basic back in the

water let's take a little while to get

motivated what we're about there

you know the projects were going smooth

and we're getting things done then we

got a little ways to go

we figure

another two weeks now that we're here

full-time we start knocking the

project's out forgot the through holes

done last week look at this bridge deck

is all sanded out bridge deck stiffeners

done still a couple things left - three

holes left these are actually the

through holes for the engines this is

the exhaust for the engine we're not

removing these I'm just raising these a

little bit they were too close to the

waterline I wasn't happy or that I want

to raise them up six inches above the

waterline we're starting to do some

detail work start fairing out the little

Nick's and chips and cuts in the hall

before paint the cassettes are all glass

tin now these will be fared in actually

I'm gonna fair this one in today I fared

this one end the other day it's about

done I think one more skim coat I could

just feel just a touch of imperfection

maybe right in here but beside that

we're getting real close for paint on

that as well what we're gonna have to do

is paint the boot stripe first I've been

working on sanding out the boot stripe

and fairing in all these imperfections

here this was all loose paint at sanded

it out and fared feels believe or not

just feel smooth blend up taping off the

boot stripe and painting that first I

want to let that cure for a day or two

well probably more than that actually a

few days and we can work on other

projects that way I could tape onto the

boot stripe and paint the white and tape

on the boot stripe to paint the bottom

paint so this boot stripe needs to cure

fully so when the tapes on it it doesn't

peel it back so we have a lot to do in

the next few weeks let's get this boat

back in the water but you know what

we're gonna do it so let's get to work

okay one thing I don't talk about a lot

is when you lay down epoxy in between

the layers it blushes so what you have

to do is wipe it down with soap and

water

what Lynn's doing now we do this just a

matter for laying down another layer of

epoxy if we're putting down a primer or

a barrier code or if we're putting

Ferenc compound it's nice to get that

flush off there first

okay let's get some varying compound

mixed up I'm such a slave driver man I

wish I could help teal and put this

bearing compound down but I tried this

stuff is hard when teal doesn't it looks

easy what I do it it looks like I'm

playing with play-doh or silly putty

looks like a kid did it so I'm just

gonna admire the view see you and just

hang out I'm assisting though

[Music]

okay when I'm putting down fairy

compound

I just skim on just really thin layers

and then I'll use a 220 grit on a

sanding block and just hand sand this

all out and then I could feel it and if

I need it

another skim coat goes on and then I'll

hand see on that out and eventually all

the little bumps and ridges and cuts

they just just melt away I'm getting

close on this one I think one more layer

maybe to what we're getting there

okay just spent the better part of about

three and a half hours fairing and

sanding and you know they're getting

close maybe a little bit more detail on

here let's take a look at this let's

shine up on the light here and yeah I'm

getting there starting to like this I

might find out just a couple other

little marks that I might fare out

but beside that look at that spot ready

for barrier coat and paint on this one

it's getting hot out I think I'll take a

break rest today go spend some time with

the family

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

and just like that it's a new day while

we're getting down to the wire on some

of these projects I really need to

attack this boot stripe let me secure

for a while before I do some other

projects in order to do the boo stripe

to finish this transom and you know what

this is looking pretty good real happy

with that but I need to get a barrier

coat on here

I also need to get rid of this

through-hole Finnick I have one on each

side these are the engine exhausts and I

don't like the location I'm moving these

up but order do that I didn't get these

out believe it or not these are in a

tough location inside the acquirement

and there they have so much 5,200 on the

inside

I can't unpretty so I'm gonna have to

cut these out before I do the repair so

that's my project this morning let's get

these things out of there we'll see how

they go okay stuff back in the engine

compartment let's take a look at what I

have to deal with Sal this electrical

near this I have to be careful I have a

lot of room this needs to be cut out

this little support is useless I don't

need it I'm gonna cut this back as well

and this is gonna move up to this

position right about here it'll clear

all my wire just perfect but cutting us

out is a bugger

oh that came off a little too easy and

that's why I don't like it

so close to the waterline for that to

pop off that easy wow that's dangerous

okay let's cut this thing the rest the

way out of here

think I'm getting their skin real close

it's catching on something

there we go it's out okay here was my

problem look at this this is fifty two

hundred and it's been sealed with it all

the way down the threads here you know

what I have new ones that I'm putting in

any way I'll give this to somebody if

they want to try to break this free but

that's not a project for me Len just

broke the hose free on this one so I'm

cut this one out as well it's sealed the

same way

okay the starboard sides a little tight

for me oh you get it

so go linen here manhandle on that I use

my foot to its exhaust but you got that

didn't yeah I did

good job okay thank you get out of here

where you fit in there way easier than I

do

[Music]

okay that through-holes are out and i'm

not gonna go into detail on how i patch

these holes you can just check out

episode 69 moving into good detail on

how we did that blends inside here right

now prep on the interior surface all

smiles how you doing how's it look in

there good

how far away are we from that bracket do

I need to cut that up a little more okay

okay keep at it

I'm gonna start getting the epoxy ready

okay we'll check that game after these

are filled

[Music]

okay two days later

I'm checking back in look at this this

is where the engine exhaust exited the

boat I mean I closed my eyes I can't

even feel where these are at I mean it

just feels smooth as can be I feel good

about those well get this boot stripe

painted paint the white and then read

rill but I've been working under here

prepping the boat for paint that's

coming up quick so I'll concentrate on

this Oh probably the next two or three

days just working through the hole here

and just finding every little make and

cut sanding it out fearing it and just

doing all the detail work that takes so

much time paints coming on I don't know

I would say we'll start painting in two

or three days so I got a lot to do so

I'll just keep at it okay it's getting

late I'm gonna call it dinner's almost

ready

catch you guys later

you

so we had a little emergency in the yard

and the caper next to us their roots

just collapsed so teal right over there

and he's assisting them

[Music]

there's a windstorm going on right now

so they're trying to clamp them

Ruth back together

[Music]

filled up there somewhere

the guys are all working together what's

great about the yard is that everyone

chipped in

close together

back together forever

community great so the guys and gals

I just read that box of clamps

[Music]

yeah

[Music]

yeah

[Applause]

[Music]

watch the truck

just keep bringing the roll-up

okay take it all back our project is

nothing okay

so that was a little entertaining

that was fun my voice is hoarse from

screaming so much so we're right here

and we heard this big Jeff microburst

shred the top of their structure so they

were totally unaware at the time seven

miles per hour today I know they were a

little off okay let's get some rest I

think they have it now

[Music]

[Music]

while we put about sixty clamps on there

and lashed as much as we could down

hopefully a hole tonight they're still

up there trying to secure they'll be

fine

thanks for watching this episode if you

liked it don't forget to leave a like we

are getting so close to be done so tune

in next week and see what else we've

completed it's coming quick things can

start going down here I would think in

the next few days
