The Amels Apollo 2013 vs Amels Omnia 1974 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 Omnia 1974 measures 200,0 feet overall (1974), giving it roughly 19,0 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 Omnia 1974 tips the scales at 1 944 000 lbs - 602 000 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 Omnia 1974 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Amels Apollo 2013 carries 30 379 gallons versus 29 058 gallons in the Amels Omnia 1974. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Amels Omnia 1974 is rated for 60 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 Omnia 1974 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Amels Omnia 1974 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 60 passengers and at 200,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Amels Apollo 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 55 that costs less to run day-to-day.
