Clear Hatch Lenses Installed! Boat Build Progress – Drain Installation & Fairing Prep

Описание: In this boat building episode, we reach a major milestone: installing the transparent acrylic lenses into our custom-built hatches! Watch the step-by-step process of making our boat watertight and bringing in natural light. We also tackle critical water management by designing and installing custom 3D-printed hatch drains, explain why MS Polymer Sealant is better than urethane for this job, and continue fairing the galley and doorways.
