I’m glad you were able to talk about the boat. I was poking at the Aquila but the quality is poor. In addition I saw the hardware on the doors is fantastic. I’m looking forward to getting out there soon.
very nice Marcus impressive boat, just wondering, of the price, such as the one you just presented, with water maker, Volvo ips with joystick both helms, 440 hp will be great, i just want to get an idea, it doesn't have to be the exact, just a near figure, let me know, thanks Marcus,,
Vacuum bag glass ? Can you run these on one engine ? I know fuel burn is low at around 7 knots but can the engines sustain low load for extended periods ?
Hi Richard, they purchased an ILIAD 50, which has recently been superseded by the ILIAD 53 Series (F, S and E). Please let us know if you would like any further details on the ILIAD 62.
Hi Rick, Philip and Robin have an ILIAD 50 which has now been superseded by the ILIAD 53 series. If you would like any further information, please don't hesitate to contact us.
@@rickmartin7046 Thanks Rick. Philip and Robin are cruising in Queensland, Australia. We will have the ILIAD 53F on display for our US premiere at the Miami International Boat Show in February. It would be great to meet you there.
Great and well designed boat, way better than the Aquila 54 but wonder how it shapes up regarding price also would love to have had a look at the engines. Lastly, think Yanmar 550's would be a better engine option (don't rate vp engines). I have now found out that Cummins 550hp engines are an option 👍. The windscreen window would have been better if it was a door for easy forward access when berthing or anchoring, still a great boat though.
Hi, we have chosen to use a direct shaft drive propulsion system as it allows the hulls to be beach-able in an emergency. This wouldn’t be possible with an IPS drive. Please let us know if you have any more questions or you would like us to email you some further information.
IPS is basically redundant for this boat, shafts will likely achieve better slow cruise economy 'due to larger prop area'. Tougher, just as manageable at docks with Joystick, less servicing, not prone to gearbox failures due to seal leaks, Can be 'beached', boats have sunk due to IPS drives ripping hole in hull. With Ips you also lose reduancy as the IPS unit acts as a rudder, lose IPS lose steering. IPS is for weekender warriors, not a serious long range cruising vessel.
what a great boat and great design. But surely you can lift the top deck a little higher, so that the deck can widen to the full width of the boat (and be able to walk under the overhang created) thus allowing for a larger upper deck cabin....? maybe enclose it so the pilot house can be located only up there, and free up space in the main cabin?
Hi Hilda, thanks for watching the video and taking the time to comment. Portuguese bridge's are a great feature but when designing this boat we decide to go for maximum flybridge space/area instead. Regarding the machinery, we can certainly look at installing MAN or CAT's to the boat if that is what the client specifically wants. It would be subject to a feasibility study of course but that is the freedom of choice we are able to offer at ILIAD.
Hi Hilda, the boat is the video had real timber flooring but we also offer a hybrid vinyl flooring that is very hard wearing and won't absorb any moisture as you point out. Of course if there is a flooring you prefer to use, we can look at using that.
Hi James, apologies for not replying to you earlier. If you would like some more information on the ILIAD 62 you can always drop me a line at marcus@iliadcatamarans.com and we can chat there. Thanks for watching.
I think with a few tweaks you could have a real winner here. I would start with removing the door to the bow. I can just see a big wave coming through their breaking the door and causing a real bad day. Also I really don't understand why a 60-foot boat has such a sorry Helm. You need to put a stidd chair there and open it up. Good job on not using pods
Hi Andrew, thanks for your feedback and comments and I'm glad you like the 62. I can relate to your thoughts about the forward door but if you notice the boat has a high bulwark running up from the deck about 1ft across the front and down the sides of the boat which protects the boat from green water much more than a conventional boat. Our 62 hull#1 has been up and down the Australian coastline including around Tasmania in the south and been through some nasty weather without any issue. Regarding the helm chairs, this is the beauty of a semi custom boat - we can change it to the design you like!
Nice job on the walkthrough. I’ve looked at a lot of power cats lately after shopping for a trawler for 2 years. I’m impressed by a lot in this yacht, especially an entire hull dedicated to the owner. The laundry and additional room forward check a lot of boxes. I’m not a fan of interiors resembling an IKEA showroom, but they sound very flexible on designs. Thanks, I hadn’t checked this brand before.
Hi Shady, thank you for your comment and your interest in ILIAD Catamarans. The beauty of the range is that they are customisable - you can choose from a selection of interior colours and materials to create your ideal boat. ILIAD also use real wood veneers and not a synthetic veneer like most production boat builders. Please don't hesitate to contact us for any further information. Many thanks, ILIAD Catamarans.
