what is this??
|
My guess its a 1978 31' Apollo V Express but I could be mistaken. Anyone else out there with an opinion?
|
I'm going with my first impression looking at the profile...Magnum. I think some one got some old Magnum molds and called it their own.
|
Andy funny..never heard of an apollo was thinking looked like a magnum/ cary???
|
h2o mark there was a red one like this on the drive at my end ... what was it???

Apollos were very popular in the late 60's and throughout the 70's. They were, at one time, connected with Piranha boats of Miami who produced the actual craft that made the ill fated landing during the Bay of Pigs invasion.

Rob I believe it was a 1977 31' Maxim, Emerald City sold them. The red one [that was on our street] was originally sold to Sam Ventimiglia after he sold the [Sam Song] Mag. There was a white 31' one also called SULEE I believe..:party-smiley-004:

That things been on there for a little while, looks like a nice gentlemans cruiser; can anyone attest to the structural integrity/build quality?

Apollo
That is the old Formula 32 by Thunderbird. It was built, along with a pop of the Formula 233 by ex-sales manager, Stu Jackson in St. from about '77 to 81. Good boat, good guy.
|
It was also called Maxim for some dealers. Someone mentioned Cary for this boat. When I was at Cary, I borrowed the deck mold from them (Thunderbird) to build a couple of boats while we were building a fish-type deck mold for the famous Cary/Cigarette
