@ericahughes4671 thanks for watching and subscribing. Where are you located? We will probably have Sol back in Brizzy in a few weeks if you'd like to check her out, LMK.

Thanks Wanda, we agree!

Ours Too! Well, we do love her Sol Searcher song as well!. And many other Kate Earl originals!!

@doloreslowe "swam with the devil to face my fears" reminds me of your bravery in water!

@nicki8461 For a Pisces, I am decidedly nervous about the whole rough seas thing. But I am finally getting better. I don't have to LOVE it, but I am most assuredly learning to TOLERATE it!! Thanks for watching Kate's video. She's pretty awesome!!

Thank you so much!!

You are so welcome! It was a learning curve but an enjoyable one!

See you soon Christian!

Hello, Christian. We are super happy with our 62. I would not say that we've had troubles, but we have had things we've needed to adapt to our needs. It's more that we have added little things, and nothing earth shattering. It's always that way with boats, and we bought this one after it was already built. Given that, ours was constructed in a way that there is very little I would do differently. There have been NO major structural or engine problems to date, and we are 20K+ miles into travel at this point. We do have a professional captain and we sometimes call him MacGuyver; he can always fix things like bilge pumps, marine heads and customization of my closest or whatever comes up. He even built me a special cabinet with a large dry box for my photography equipment. Those things would all cost us extra if we didn't have him. But a handy couple could manage this boat and cruise on their own. We know the owners of the Iliad 70 and they cruise without crew. I just really enjoy the comfort of having someone professional to maintain all the systems and keep the boat in as new of condition as we can. She is in great shape!! We should be at the FL show for the first two days, and would be more than happy to sit down with you and talk about our experiences.

We are also looking forward to meeting you, David!!

@@solsearchercat Glad to hear the reliability of the Iliad brand. Look forward to meet you in 2 months. Thanks to have reply.

@@christianmilot6700 see you in Ft Lauderdale! And if you haven't watched our TH-cam page, we did a review of our Iliad 62 that you can find there. There are starting to be more reviews and walk throughs on the 53 as well. Our experience was that the 53 looked to be just as quality of a build as ours. We just needed more space for live aboard crew. The 53 would be a great option if we were going to manage the boat ourselves, although with more attention and less goofing off, I'm sure we could handle the 62.
