it looks like an Apollo to me! (see gavs original thread) does this one take a 15 or 20" shaft?

 

[Captain Chaos]

Are these basically the same as say "Pirhana", "Aqua Jet" and another mob who skip my mind at the moment!

it'll come to me

 

[Jon Fuller]

yeah, they all seem to have evolved from the original 'Apollo', (which took a long shaft motor) then identical looking boats such as the CB-9 (Chris Bridgeman, now deceased) and others. most had the same hull form, with varying deck/screen arangements, like the 'Seafire'.

I thought they were all 9'6", but a lot of people seem to think they're 10'.

They all have a flat fronted bow, which is usually the giveaway that they are Apollo derived.

 

[Captain Chaos]

ah ha............its where me brothers "thing" came from.

perhaps i'll measure it tonight & if i'm up for being laughed at, i'll vaseline-up myself; squeeze in the wee monster and get my better half to take a pic.....which i'll post on this here serious boating forum

 

[Gav]

, i'll vaseline-up myself;

typical friday night for a southern sap then?

 

[Jon Fuller]

I would probably have used the phrase, "Vaseline myself up", rather than "Vaseline up myself" but then Chaos is a strange bloke!
