George Crouch Designed, Gar Woods "Typhoon" - Replica I am completing a replica of the Typhoon that was built in 1929. I used a lines plan from Teaser that I found on line and from that I made a 2D CAD drawing. The boat is 30 feet long and has a BMW M70 V12 that produces 300 horse power. I used the original BMW automatic transmission bell housing to adapt a Velvet drive 1:1 gearbox. The boat is cold molded with epoxy and completely sealed inside and outside so that water cannot get absorbed into the wood. The build took 8 years and everything has been done by myself. I work in the Netherlands as a builder of high end yachts and therefore the quality is to the highest standards. All steel work is Stainless Steel 316 and the upholstery is leather. Now that this project is coming to a finish I need to make room for my next project and therefore this vessel is for sale. For any inquiries please contact me via Private Message.
Absolutely stunning! I saw the 'first' replica of Gar Wood's Typhoon at Woody Weekend on Lake Winnipesaukee, NH circa mid 1990s. Pictures can be found here... https://www.yachtforums.com/threads/gar-woods-typhoon-re-creation.9198/
