The experience motivates them to get their boat in the water. On their return, they tackel fabricating the swim platform that's not included in the plans. All the metal working skills they've acquired pay off in a beautiful, seamless addition to the transom. Next, they finish up the rounded cockpit combing using more split pipe and attach the coaming plate. Then they add windows in the pilot house, fabricate port lights in the hull, and get creative with finding and casting lead for the keel. The episode concludes with installing the shaft tube, shaft and three-blade cruising prop. Sandra and Gina now have a vessel ready for finishing.
