Today on B is for Build, the team is tackling a massive pontoon yacht project after a previous yacht sank. This new double-decker beauty boasts inboard outboard motors, a bathroom, a sink, a bar, and even an integrated hot tub - yes, you heard that right, a hot tub on a yacht! The focus of the day is on creating sturdy hatches for the hot tub, using a combination of aluminum tubing and marine-grade plywood. But as they delve into the intricate welding process, disaster strikes - the boat catches on fire, adding an unexpected twist to their already challenging build.
Despite the fiery setback, the team perseveres, working through the welding issues and ensuring the hatches are not only functional but also safe and stable. They also take a moment to highlight a sponsorship with an air care product company, showcasing the importance of partnerships in their projects. Looking ahead, there are discussions about moving back to their old shop for more space and flexibility, hinting at exciting changes on the horizon for B is for Build.
With the hatches successfully installed and tested for stability, the team moves on to preparing a landing pad for the hot tub. This involves meticulous work with insulation to ensure the hot tub retains its temperature effectively. And finally, the pièce de résistance - the inflatable hot tub, a practical choice for a yacht, is assembled and placed on the deck, bringing a touch of luxury to this ambitious pontoon yacht project.
