TYPHOON classic speed boat
The Typhoon's origin began with Edsel
Ford, who was an avid raceboat enthusiast. Seeing
the famous
Teaser speedboat in action, Edsel Ford
wanted a new fast boat just like it. He then contacted
the yard that built the Teaser and had an exact copy
built, naming it "Typhoon."

Measuring at 40' in
length with a 2000 cu. in. Wright Typhoon engine, she
was made for racing. Edsel Ford did not use her
as a racer but a commuter speedboat between the Ford
factory and his home.
In the late 1960's, at Bryants
Marina in Washington, the boat that was docked next
to the Typhoon caught fire. The fire raged out of
control, and soon engulfed the Typhoon.
This Typhoon model features:
-
Plank-on-frame
construction
-
Heartwood Honduras Mahogany
-
Deck and hull: real individual planks, not a large piece of wood with fake lines,
NOT wood veneer on plastic.
-
Hundreds of tiny copper nails.
- Precisely duplicates
the real boat's elegantly curved hull. Typhoon's
hull is by far the most difficult to build compared
to other classic boats.
