Apollo ?
They made some 15-16 foot runabouts that looked a bit like a Nautiglass and Vickers Easyriders. Model called a Navigator or something.
No idea where they were made. Late 70s to mid 80s i think.
Only other ideas?

Thanks Fishingrod, I have #been wondering about the make of boat. I bought it off a veteran fisherman in Iluka. It had a couple of Appolo stickers on it. Everyone #that I have shown says it is similar to a Haines hull. Your thoughts?.

Best is to have a search on the trading post or boatpoint web sites.
See if you can see any forsale classifidies with a photo of an Apollo to compare.

There was a series of yachts named Apollo. They raced Americas Cup and Sydney-Hobart

No appollo ever raced in the americas cup. Wrong class. The Appollo's were maxis. Appollo II was also known as "the green gerkin" (nickname)

Just saw this one for sale.
It looks like the type i was thinking of. They have a very sharp V below the bow.

Thanks again Fishingrod that sure looks like it. They must have had an oversupply of orange as mine is the same colour.
