    There doesn't seem to be any information on YF about these. Anyone with experience? Opinions?

    Thanks!

    Ive been through their factory and on their boats many times. Very well thought out boats with a lot of very useful features. Construction wise they are built very well and from a builders standpoint their tooling is very well done. Stephen Dougherty is the owner and he comes from a long lineage in the boating industry and it shows in his product. As with every boat there are always quirks but overall I would say they are very well done and very good quality. I haven't ridden on one but from what I have heard from those that have they run well.

    I'll put it this way, if I wasn't building boats and was in the market for one, Solace would be on my very short list.

    I've been on the Volvo I/O boat, rides really well and fit and finish was nice.
    The diesel I/O is a nice combination.
