General Overview
The Finn V-Boat Taifun X from 1971 is a classic model originating from Finland, known for its characteristic V-bottom and balanced hull construction.

The boat is officially registered in Estonia under the number VKF-400 and comes with all necessary documents, including registration papers for both the boat and the trailer. The boat is classified in category C and is suitable for up to five people.
Finn V-Boat now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until January 19, 2026.
Dimensions and Construction
With a length of 4.5 meters and a width of 1.6 meters, the Finn V-Boat offers a compact yet functional layout. The draft of only 35 cm allows for navigation close to shallow shores, making the boat suitable for recreational use in various water environments. The hull is made of polyester and has recently been repainted with a multi-layer paint system, consisting of Teamac primer, two layers of paint, and two layers of varnish. The boat features a synthetic teak deck (Deckfab), which enhances its appearance and usability.
Interior and Equipment
The interior has been completely renewed and adapted to modern standards. The seating is upholstered with marine synthetic leather that is resistant to UV radiation, saltwater, and moisture. The dashboard and cockpit are made of solid beech wood and finished with varnish, while the upper dashboard panel and the transom panel are constructed from waterproof plywood, coated with epoxy resin. The floor is covered with a rubber carpet that is easy to remove. LED lighting is installed for extra visibility and safety.
Steering and Motorization
The boat is powered by an Evinrude outboard motor of type E50BELCTA with a power of 55 HP. This two-stroke engine has two cylinders and is electrically started. The engine was fully checked and tuned in November 2025. The controls feature a modern throttle and gear control, tailored to this engine. The boat has a keyless start/stop system with a sequential safety algorithm. The dashboard controls include switches for navigation lights, interior lighting, USB charging points, instrument power, bilge pump, and horn.
A notable detail is the presence of a tachometer that is currently non-functional due to incompatibility with the engine. However, the tachometer is present and can be activated with the installation of a more recent engine.
Electrical Installation and Instrumentation
The electrical installation operates on a 12V system and is equipped with two batteries with new wiring. The available instruments include a fuel gauge and a voltmeter. For navigation, a log/speedometer is available. The boat is equipped with an electric bilge pump for water drainage.
Trailer and Transport
The sale includes a road trailer with license plate 771YNN. The trailer is single-axle, unbraked, and measures 325 x 240 cm. It weighs 350 kg. The trailer is functional and equipped with a hand winch. Both the boat and the trailer are fully registered and ready for transport.
History and Special Features
The Finn V-Boat Taifun X is a legendary model produced in Finland in 1971. This specific boat was fully restored and upgraded in 2025 but has not been launched since. The restoration included both the exterior and interior, as well as the engine and electrical systems.
Usage and Application
The boat is designed for recreational use and is suitable for leisurely trips with family or friends. Thanks to its shallow draft and stable hull construction, the boat is usable on various waters, including fjords, lakes, rivers, and canals. The boat is ideal for day trips and short cruises in inland waters.
For those looking for a classic-looking recreational boat with modern upgrades and a rich history, this Finn V-Boat Taifun X from 1971 offers an interesting option within the segment of compact motorboats.
