In this thrilling episode of B is for Build, the team embarks on an ambitious pontoon yacht project, aiming to outshine a previous sunken Italian vessel. With modified pontoons and a luxurious hot tub feature, the boat is already shaping up to be a nautical marvel. But the real excitement kicks in as they tackle the challenge of constructing a double deck - a first for the team. Utilizing the strength of steel for the framework, they dive into the intricate process of building the second level structure.

Amidst the construction chaos, a game-changing sponsor, Anchor Solx, steps in with a portable power station and solar panels to keep the project running smoothly. The welding sparks fly as the team welds the second level frame, ensuring every detail is meticulously crafted for maximum durability. Facing a design hiccup, they adapt and lower the roof height, showcasing their problem-solving prowess in the face of adversity. With added foot pads for stability, the deck takes shape, promising a sturdy foundation for the yacht's upper level.

As the sun sets on another day of relentless work, the team powers through, welding support pads and tubes with unwavering determination. The promise of a magnificent pontoon yacht looms on the horizon, fueled by innovation, grit, and a touch of Clarkson-esque flair.
