Inboard Typhoon

Post by Jeff D »

I saw this on CL this morning - a typhoon with a Vire inboard. The owner says that it was a PO modification. For the price, with a trailer, it looks like a deal.

I have no connection to the boat or owner. If I didn't already have 3 (or 8 depending on who's counting), I would drive up.

No photo of the engine and no photo of the running gear. Perhaps not proud of the installation? I’ve seen some fine inboard installations in small craft so it would have been nice to see how this was accomplished in a Typhoon.

I asked for some pictures of the install and the underbody but he did not have any. You can see the hatch that was cut in the cockpit sole in one of the pictures. My sense is that this has been sitting in a barn for a while.

Never heard of that engine.
Looked it up, interesting, 2 cycle, gas, 7 hp., electric start. Would like to see the installation too.
