No... although since the Apache 21/22 was copied from a popular hull of the late 70's it's similar. The deck is the give away. There were two Apache deck styles. The first had a large "V" that made up the windscreen. The second, designed by Dick Genth, had a riser that more resembled a mini 41. I owned these molds for a few years. Bo Renfroe of Gainsville, GA has them now under the name "Southern Powerboats."
The boat in the video is probably a challenger 21 or a shadow 21. These hulls were very similar to the superboat 21 as well. Rally Sport also had a version. These 21's fit the same duplication scenario of the 24' Excalibur -- P & D -- superboat -- Jaws -- Condor -- Carerra -- Avenger -- Apache Princess --- Twister -- etc, etc.

Two other builders who had that hull were "Mid Ocean" and "Avance"
And NO, the 21' Scorpion was not one of these. We stretched a 19' Seabird for that hull. I WISH it was though. The Scorpion had a much flatter entry. In a chop it would make your teeth rattle.
