Question about 1974 Crestliner Apollo 16

[tbeaun]

I'm curious if anyone knows the capacity of the gas tank on this boat (1974 Crestliner Apollo 16). It is a quite large aluminum tank & I wonder if it is the original tank. Also, any idea of the boats weight?

Re: Question about 1974 Crestliner Apollo 16

I have a 1973 Apollo 660 and the gas tank sprung a leak. When I removed it, it said 18 gallons on the top side (not visible when installed). The boat is so back heavy that I replaced it with a 12 gallon tank instead, just to cut down on the wieght some. The brochure that the original owner saved said the entire hull was 1,000 lbs. Plus about 300 for the Evinrude 100 HP I use. My trailer is a <500 so I've never had any trouble towing with my 4 cyl station wagons (except up a few hills in the NY Adirondacks in 2nd gear!).
