Thank you Sir for the response.

Billy Martin

Vintage.. Just Spoke to dad, He says He had purchased a 28' Magnum from a gentelman by the name of Dexter Coffin at Lake X in Florida. It had twin small blocks at the time. He had raced it 1 Time, and then Sold it to Frank Lack around 1970. Frank Lack did name that boat "White Knight". Then Frank had Purchased a Cigarette which he also Called "White Knight". And to answer your question, Dad is almost positive that -Yes you do have his Old Boat, see if it is rigged or was rigged with (2) small blocks at one time.

Regards,
Jr.
