Title: Revealing the Unseen: Unraveling the Secrets of our Salvage Sailboat
Intro:
Unveiling the harsh reality of our salvage sailboat journey, the YouTube video titled "GUTTING our SALVAGE SAILBOAT | Expedition Evans 10" throws us into a world of unexpected challenges and disappointments. With a tinge of despair, the video sets the stage for the arduous yet thrilling expedition that lies ahead. Join us on this riveting adventure as we divulge the details of our struggle to resurrect our dreamboat and embark on the most ambitious journey of our lives.
In the midst of the wreckage, we invite you to subscribe and witness our valiant efforts in restoring this once majestic vessel. Having painstakingly removed the gel coat layer by layer in previous episodes, we have ensured maximum surface exposure in order to meticulously address every repair necessary. This method guarantees not only the utmost strength in our vessel but also allows us to identify every hidden flaw, ensuring we miss no hidden damage.
As we progress through our salvage project, we have finally unearthed the extent of the destruction initially reported in the survey and repair quotes. A recent video update revealed an alarming discovery – damages far beyond our initial estimation. Yet, let’s face it, the revelation is not entirely unforeseen in endeavors of this nature. In the realm of restoration projects, there is always more beneath the surface than meets the eye. And thus, our quest to uncover every hidden obstacle persists, ensuring no stone (or rather, no damaged section) is left unturned.
If our daring and unconventional project has captivated you so far, we kindly urge you to subscribe and become part of this astonishing journey. Your support propels us forward and strengthens our determination to overcome the odds. So let us chronicle our progress and unveil the fascinating world of a salvaged sailboat, all while giving our very best to be appealing on camera (even in the midst of retainer-wearing mishaps).
Stepping into the heart of our renovation, we find ourselves faced with a complex grid system. Within the salon, we have meticulously cut out various sections, allowing us to address each area with utmost precision. Removing the pans – large interconnected pieces within the grid – was no easy task, as it meant delving into the keel’s main salon area, where the bulk of the damage has occurred. Brace yourself, for it also means we must bid farewell to the comforts of the salon itself. The emotional preparation for such news has been a constant companion during our ownership of the boat, but we soldier on, determined to face the challenge head-on.
So, grab a life vest and join us on this rollercoaster of emotions and restoration. As we expose the unseen, dive into the intricate network of damages beneath the surface, and undertake the mammoth task of rejuvenation, your presence makes a world of difference. Let us rally together as we navigate through this transformative journey, one that holds the promise of an extraordinary and triumphant expedition.
Heading 1: Uncovering the Damage: Atrocious News and Unexpected Surprises
In our latest video update, we had some unfortunate news to share. It was a major disappointment to discover that our dreamboat, Expedition Evans, has suffered extensive damage that was not initially disclosed. Despite our best efforts to salvage and repair the boat, we have encountered unexpected surprises along the way. We have been diligently working on removing the gel coat to expose the full extent of the damage for thorough repairs. This step has allowed us to ensure that the repairs will be as strong as possible and no hidden damage will be overlooked.
Following the initial survey and damage reports, we thought we had a complete understanding of the damage. However, our most recent findings have revealed even more extensive damage than anticipated. While it may not be surprising for projects like these to uncover additional issues, it does require us to meticulously search for and address all damage. We want to assure our viewers that we are determined to address every aspect of the damage and make sure the boat is restored to its former glory. We appreciate the support we have received so far in our journey and kindly request that you consider subscribing to our channel to follow along and support our project.
Heading 2: Assessing the Grid: Tabs, Pans, and Complications
In the process of assessing the grid of our boat, we’ve encountered some interesting challenges. One of the crucial components of the grid is the tabs, which we have carefully cut out to reveal the extent of the damage. By accessing these tabs, we now have a clear picture of what needs to be repaired. It’s fascinating to see how the tabs allow us to uncover hidden issues and ensure the structural integrity of the boat.
However, the grid also presents us with complications in the form of pans. These pans add complexity to our repair project as they are interconnected and require special attention. Cutting off the pans has allowed us to access the thicker tab area and identify areas where the bonding process has failed or delamination has occurred. It’s remarkable how these pans can impact the overall stability of the boat and finding and addressing these issues is vital for a successful restoration.
Overall, assessing the grid has been an enlightening experience that has given us a deeper understanding of the extent of the damage and the intricate nature of our repair project. It’s been a journey of discovery and problem-solving, and we’re determined to restore our dreamboat to its former glory. Stay tuned as we navigate through these challenges and embark on our greatest expedition yet!
Heading 3: Dealing with Bonding Failure: Delamination, Unbonded areas, and Factory Mistakes
In dealing with bonding failure, specifically delamination, unbonded areas, and factory mistakes, we have encountered a significant amount of damage in our boat restoration project. Through removing the gel coat, we have been able to expose the extent of the damage and ensure that our repairs are as strong as possible. It is important for us to thoroughly inspect and uncover all the damage, as there are often hidden issues beyond what initially meets the eye.
In our investigation, we have identified three areas of concern in the galley where the bonding has failed, the fiberglass has delaminated, or there was no bonding done by the factory initially. These issues were discovered beneath the tabs in the grid, specifically in the main salon area where the majority of damage has occurred. As a result, we will need to remove the salon, a task that we have been mentally preparing ourselves for throughout this project. Rest assured, we are determined to overcome these challenges and continue on our journey towards restoration.

Heading 4: Salon Sacrifice: Emotionally Preparing for the Big Step
In our latest update, we have unfortunately received some bad news regarding our salon renovation project. We had been eagerly anticipating the process of transforming our newly acquired dreamboat, but it turns out that it arrived in quite a wrecked condition. Despite the setback, we are determined to put her back together and embark on our greatest expedition yet.
Over the past few videos, we have been tirelessly working on the boat, grinding away all the damaged gel coat to ensure the most extensive surface area for our repairs. This not only guarantees maximum strength but also allows us to thoroughly inspect and address all the damage. We have now uncovered all the issues that were initially identified in the survey, damage reports, and repair quotes. However, as expected with projects like these, we have discovered additional damage that was not initially visible. Rest assured, we are diligently searching for any hidden issues to ensure a thorough restoration process.
In our recent video, we showcased our progress in the salon area. We have cut out tabs in our grid design, which has allowed us to access and examine the extent of the damage. The grid design has proven to be more complex, with interconnected panels, making the restoration process a bit challenging. In certain areas, the bonder used to attach the fiberglass has failed, resulting in delamination. In other instances, the bonder was never properly bonded to the fiberglass during the manufacturing process. These issues were discovered under the tabs in the galley area, prompting us to remove the remaining panels, specifically in the main salon where the majority of the damage occurred. Although emotionally preparing ourselves for such news, we remain resilient and determined to overcome this hurdle.
