Scimitar 1010 - Make It Happen - Final walk through

Finally we're ready to start using our new Scimitar 1010 Power Catamaran! The majority of our upgrades are complete and it's getting very close to us leaving for our maiden trip up the coast in May!
We can't wait! We've had enough of talking about it, so here's a final run through and from now on we'll get out on her!
Thanks for watching

If you get sick of the marine head and all its headaches look at a composting toilet like a Natures Head, so simple, so cheap, almost no maintenance.

[@mickharfield6907]

Great Epi as usual M&J 🤙

Thanks mate 🤙🏻

[@bubbleobill267]

[@scottyzfishing5660]

It must be satisfying for you both to finish the final touches and head out on your adventures👌 you guys made it happen fantastic team work and a beautiful looking finish 👍 look forward to seeing your adventures 🫡

[@makeithappen2021]

Yeah it is really satisfying and just nice to tinkering on your boat

[@Coralita675]

New boat looks amazing, a lot of hard work and planning has paid off, looking forward to your reef trips and of course fishing. :)

[@makeithappen2021]

Absolutely! Either can we!

[@stephenmurray9850]

Just remembered something from my trucking days.. The blue light problem .. try painting it with Mistake correction fluid .. not sure what it is called .. "tipix" or white out.. I used it on a very bright blue light on my fridge in my truck.. worked a treat .Shows my age.. very old technology lol

[@makeithappen2021]

Thanks mate, I did try to colour them bit they also glow around the edge... So I've bought new no light white ones now! Big life issues hey! haha

[@rossmain4142]

Looking very nice, you guys have done a great job on the big girl.

[@stevepierce3509]

Awesome guys keep the youtube videos coming fast please. I love this vessel.

[@makeithappen2021]

[@makeithappen2021]

Thanks for the message & thanks for the props on the boat. We love it 🤙🏻

[@tomblodgett7389]

Great job on your boat!! Been watching since you started, wow what a difference you have made in your very well thought out decisions. Can't wait to see some fishing action in the future. Cheers from Austin, TX

[@makeithappen2021]

Hey mate! Thanks for the support and yep, its about time we stop working on it and start using her! 🤙🏻

[@Athfos]

I wish the light was still on so we can get a good look at the fans you set up.

[@makeithappen2021]

Yeah sorry.. it was so bright on the day and didn’t realise how dark it got on the video once I turned it off

[@crikeymacca]

Mick that’s a really impressive job you guys have done. It’ll be my honour to do that Pooh one day out the reef.

[@makeithappen2021]

Thanks mate! Lucky I took that bedroom toilet out !

[@crikeymacca]

@@makeithappen2021 😂😂😂😂lucky you did.

[@Athfos]

I’ve got rubber covers for my usb charge outlets to stop that light when not in use. I’ve also found that led lights can be dimmed down with nail polish dabbed on them.

[@teencee3974]

You guys have done a fantastic job, we'll done. This is what dreams are made of. Can you tell me where you got those little fans from for your battery compartment please?

[@makeithappen2021]

Hey! Thank you! Yeah I got them off eBay. They come under ‘12v caravan side vent fan’

[@richardwaldron1205]

Looks great mate. Need a cargo net in that engine room so you can store some stuff aft.

[@makeithappen2021]

Whereabouts do you mean? I've got a bin behind that hatch which stores oils & consumables etc??

[@stephenmurray9850]

Boat is looking great now. What sort of range do you think you'll get with the new engines? Thanks for the video.

[@makeithappen2021]

Mmmm I’d say between 300 & 450nm depending on speed & ocean. Still keen to do some testing on figures with one engine which should improve that for longer runs…

[@kizzjd9578]

How did you afford all that if you dont mind me asking? Wouldnt be cheap but an absolutely awesome lifestyle!

[@makeithappen2021]

Hey, well in short we both still work, so the boat stuff is only a hobby. We'd love nothing more than to go off and do it full time, but we just can't unfortunately. This plan was always going to be the retirement plan in 15-20yrs but when we did our trip in the Kevlacat we decided, why wait. So we sold our house we had been renovating for the past 6rs and downsized to a unit and this boat. Maybe not the smartest move financially, but you only live once hey...

[@kizzjd9578]

@@makeithappen2021 thanks, id love to be able to do the same one day

[@jasongillies6686]

have you got an ebay description for those cabin lights? cannot find same on ebay

[@makeithappen2021]

Hey mate yeah, I just looked, the ones I got were called ‘12v Caravan RV interior LED ceiling light’

[@MichaelandMaryH]

You have both done an amazing job. Now time to enjoy. You can pair the Victron to your Garmin MFD. not sure what’s needed.

[@makeithappen2021]

Interesting.... I didn't know that! I'll look into that cheers
