I have Typhoon Hull No. 205. Does anyone know what year it was built?

Check out the hull ID number. The last two digits indicate the year built. The ID number should be imprinted in the transom gel coat near the top -- starboard side.

I believe that hull identification numbers were not required to be
molded into the transom gelcoat until model year 1974. It is likely your hull was built before then. I have hull number 99 and it was
made in 1970. Hope this helps.

My uneducated guess is 1971/1972. Vietnam, Crosby, Stills & Nash etc.
I have hull 1178 from 1976, though on the quarterberth liner is printed 12/75. I like to think it was made before Disco.
