Hi Josh,

I realize you've posted about replacing the after deck on your Typhoon back in 2002. How did it go? Am looking at doing the same on my Ty. Any tips aside from the ones I have read above?
Thanks in advance.

Is the white stern light installed backwards?

No, it's the reflection of the deck. It looks like it is, doesn't it?

Here are a couple more. I didn't take into account that the boat might have been a salvage. My other thought was that it didn't have an outboard (In CT any vessel under 19 ft that doesn't have auxiliary gas power does not need to be registered. Not sure if this is the case in MA). Timeline that I kn...

Here are a couple from the cockpit area. I'll try to add some others.

I'll have to sell both engines and search for an intern...

Very true MGPHI52. After reading some other posts about typhoon owners and gas tank set ups, I realized that Bob was referring to the internal tank on the engine. Thanks and appreciate the response. I think I will either look for an engine with an internal tank or stick with the external tank. The a...

Hi Bob, Hope you are well and safe these days. Not sure if you're still with the CD.org board or not. I hope so and that you've gotten another CD. I am a new CD owner and just recently bought a '72 Typhoon weekender. I'm curious about the "internal gas tank" you mention in your ad. Could y...
