Trailer measurements for Typhoon

Post by Profmurphy »

Looking for specific measurements for a sail off trailer to send to manufacturer. Boat is now in the water and I can't measure the bottom to determine where adjustable support (pipits) pads will go. I am in need of drawings of an 18.6 CD Typhoon. Width of keel etc Frank Murphy :(

I think you'll find that Road King has already broken the code on the Typhoon trailer and will fabricate a gem for you.

triad trailers can do the same too. Get a few quotes. If a vendor doesn't gave measurements it means they have never built a trailer for the Ty...unless they are much cheaper than triad or road king etc I would go with a vendor that has built these before...my 2 cents.

Thanks for the reply and advise. Do you or anyone else have the measurements for bootstrap applications? The pictures I have seen of boot stripes are not straight lines. Any direction to locate would be appreciated

Recommend checking out West Marine's videos on painting a boot stripe. Many of those I see are not properly done under the transom. Their videos specify how to build a jig and properly bring the lines aft. Normal 3 inch ribbon material is not suitable.

Here is a very slick way to mark off a Boot Stripe:
