Typhoon was a large brute at 40 feet, with 2000 cubic inches Wright engine and could seat up to eight adults. The pedigree of the Typhoon dates back to the days of the gold cup races. The original Typhoon was designed in 1929 by George Crouch. The Typhoon's origin began with Edsel Ford who was an avid race boat enthusiast. Ford sold the Typhoon to Howard Hughes during the war years, who consequently sold it and it went thru many owners ending up at Bryants Marina in Washington where she caught fire and was a total loss.
