What this video covers

The crew of the 40-year-old sailboat Good, Bad, and Ugly performs structural reinforcements on interior bulkheads and renovates a shower stall while awaiting a new engine. To address concerns regarding bulkhead integrity, the owner applies additional layers of woven roving fiberglass and uses 610 thickened epoxy to fill voids and improve waterproofing in the corners.1:32 The renovation of the shower and toilet base involves filling gaps with Bondo to create flush, easy-to-clean surfaces, a process complicated by high humidity and tight working quarters.3:36 The project timeline faces delays due to slow drying times for the filler and the need for multiple sanding passes.6:53 The crew also prepares for an upcoming engine removal, seeking advice on accessing engine mount bolts embedded in fiberglass and the feasibility of using the main halyard and boom to hoist the engine out of the boat.20:51 The engine replacement is currently scheduled for late January or February.17:04
