The Amels Apollo 2013 vs Amels Energy 2022 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Amels Energy 2022 measures 255,0 feet overall (2022), giving it roughly 74,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Amels Apollo 2013 at 181,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Amels Energy 2022 tips the scales at 5 772 000 lbs — 4 430 000 lbs less than the Amels Apollo 2013 at 1 342 000 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The Amels Apollo 2013 carries a rated maximum of 1 408 hp. Engine data for the Amels Energy 2022 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Amels Energy 2022 is rated for 77 passengers, while the Amels Apollo 2013 caps at 55. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Amels Energy 2022 could be the deciding factor.
