Mads travels 2,000 miles from Florida to Texas in a first-generation Honda CR-V to collect tools for ongoing boat repairs.2:22 Before departing, he replaces the car's timing belt and attempts to build a teak inspection port for a diesel tank, though a workshop miter saw with excessive wobble ruins the test cut.5:03 During the road trip, he attempts to sleep in the vehicle but finds the 12-volt power outlets only function with the ignition on, forcing a hotel stay.8:54 In Texas, he visits a West Sail 43 owned by a contact named Phil.11:29 The two replace the cockpit instrument panel and wiring harness, though the project remains incomplete due to a persistent alarm and tachometer calibration issues.13:57 Mads notes the West Sail 43 features an aft cockpit and a spacious interior layout compared to the center-cockpit West Sail 42.12:07 He plans to resolve the instrument panel fitment by having a custom, larger mounting plate laser-cut to cover the original hole.16:54
