Some more info for you Marco.

1967 - Uses a 28ft single engine and a 3 x Merc 28ft, until Miami/Key West 3rd Nov when a 28ft twin is used.This is probably went to Balestrieri.Then there is the green single engine which kennerley had.

1968 - Uses a 27ft thro to Aug 24th.In Miami/Nassau 9th Oct Kennerly uses a 27ft (see pic),could this be same boat before Billy Martin uses it in Hurricane Classic Dec 7th.Before this Martin uses the 26ft Luhrs hull.Also Aronow uses a 28ft twin engine for Hennessey Aug 6th and Hurricane Classic Dec 7th (Crouse says a 28ft Cigarette?).Miami Nassau Oct 9th Aronow has new 28ft twin engine which catches fire and sinks,so presumably he had 3 twin engined 28ft`s.


White Knight had 2 x Mercruisers = 700hp,so maybe it was re-engined from the single job.

Continuing the off topic
for the 1967 Aronow then drove 4 28' Magnum.
Two single-engine,one with two 3 Mercury and a twin engines then went to Balestrieri.
For the Miami-Nassau I have information that Aronow drove a 28' with two engines finishing 11th in the overall.
It was the one with the drive shaft or one with a pair of stern drives?
A guy from USA (that I can not remember the name) years ago sent to me an e-mail with a picture attached substaining that there was a 28' of Aronow with two engines and two stern drives that perhaps then became the White Knight.
I'll put the photo when I'll find it.
Aronow in 1967 drove at the Hennessy-Long Island Marathon of 19 July this yellow (single engine?)Magnum 27 '? (28'?) # 4 with a different deck that maybe it was the Maltese Magnum III of Jake Trotter # 16 in the Sam Griffith Memorial Race of the previous February 8.

Also again in 1967 after the Miami-Nassau at the Round Nassau Aronow finished second driving the Magoon's 28' "Andrea" with three outboards.

In 1968 at the Miami-Nassau Aronow drove this white Magnum with two engines but not sure it was a 28'.
I think more to a new 27' for two engines.
Certainly not a phantomatic 28' Cigarette.

Which one did Ian Toll end up with?

Jeff

Ian Toll restored the twin engine 28ft that went to Balestrieri as Magnum Tornado.

Extract from race report,as written by your favourite reliable witness,J.Crouse esq.
I must admit that gunwale doesn`t look as swept down aft like the Magnum 27ft boats have,yet the deck moulding is different to the usual Magnum 28ft.
Havn`t got much on the 67 U.S. racing Marco,hence the gaps in info,other than the Crousey bible.

I believe its a early Magnum Sedan.

------Im going to venture another opinion; I think the #4 is one of the infamous DONZI/Magnum Banana boats. What do you think Mark??? You are right about the burner,,,its a magnum sedan. Must have been quite a ride with the crew so far forward. I would venture a guess that they might not have been sorry to see it go, if monetary questions didnt intrude........Bill S

Fantastic bingo h20boater!!!
This is the boat a few minutes before going to fire!
A prototype with two engines and stern drives of 28'?

Thats it!! That Mag was a topic here on OSO a few years ago.
http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/m...nana-boat.html They made around 4 of these Magnum Bananas.

h2oboater has solved almost every question with this Magnum for that unusual deck.
It remains to confirm the length but I think that Crouse has written right 28'.

BTW I think it better to continue on a separate thread that I want to start here.
