The Cape Dory Board

Far and away the preferred outboard for Typhoon owners is the Long-shaft Honda 2hp or 2.3 hp air-cooled 4-stroke. It is dependable, light (28 lbs), easy to use and will handle anything up to the most severe currents and waves. It is perfect for getting in and out of crowded anchorages or narrow chan...

Excellent condition - low hours, (only used during launch & retrieval). Honda long-shaft 2hp Four-stroke outboard for sale in Florence, SC. Can possibly deliver to you on the East Coast all the way up to Maine this summer. Includes original owners manual and tool kit - everything in like new con...

My good friend Ken is interested in finding someone to go out with him on his Typhoon in Harpswell, Maine, or perhaps crew on their boat. I'll be happy to provide his contact info to anyone who might be interested...

During your 9 years of ownership has the boat been in Michigan or Florida? The year-round exposure to the elements in the tropics really takes a toll on boats when compared to the much shorter season further north - wear and tear on standing rigging is just one aspect of that. Re-coring the entire d...

Pulpit has been SOLD!

Michael, it's pretty hard to fairly assess your boat & trailers potential value without seeing any photos, but based upon what you have described I'd say that you are "somewhat in the ballpark" if you plan to ask $2,850 or best reasonable offer. I've seen (in person), various other Typ...

FYI - I can also deliver said SS 2" tubing to you (or close to you), anywhere on the East Coast during my next long-haul to Maine & back (SC). Just get in touch a.s.a.p. Thanks!

I have a very nice one-piece (no joints or couplings), SS bow pulpit from a Typhoon that will also fit a Typhoon Sr. or similar-sized sailboat. It is very lightweight but solid and in great condition - even has attachment points for lifelines if wanted. 24" tall but could easily be cut down if ...

Bob, Sorry for the delay - I've been away on a long-haul pick-up & delivery to Maine & back... Sorry (my bad), about the Charleston lead - (I thought they'd appreciate the business), but fear not - Magic Tilt makes a "Hake 32-9000" aluminum sailboat trailer for 29-31' boats that we...

Either one will work, but it is always smart to err on the side of "heavier" vs "good enough" when it comes to trailers - cost difference is negligible and unless you plan to reuse the hubs, all new matching components (including leaf springs), will guarantee many more trouble-fr...

Hey Bob,
Want to buy a 10,000 lb. rated aluminum trailer? I know where you can get one. My friends at Charleston Trailer will be happy to build one for you - but there are other dealers even closer to you, and the torsion axles come fully galvanized! No worries...

Boy-o-Boy Roberto - you certainly woke up the masses eager to share their advice and opinions on trailers! How do you like sipping out of a fire hose?!? All well-intentioned opinions no doubt - but you'll need to sift carefully according to your specific needs, as you have already indicated by stati...

Correction (sorry): I was thinking of my Typhoon when I recommended 6' 2x4's - your CD25D would most likely require 7' 2x4's since the draft is 3' rather than 2'6"..., on the brakes issue surge brakes work well - you would probably only need them on one axle rather than two (a CD25D trailer oug...

Roberto, You are correct that having bunk pads makes painting the bottom more difficult - the only way to get at the area that sits on the bunks is to either wait until the boat is being lifted off and then roll the two strips while the boat is hanging in the air, (as well as the bottom of the keel)...

No problem, happy to do that much! What is your street address & phone # ? My email is Bocaturabank@yahoo.com and my # is 843-407-7635, just so that we can coordinate when & where to pick up the cradle (no rush however, I'm going to be away for the next couple of weeks...) Thanks again - Alan
