    I wonder if his sons have detailed pictures of White Tornado? Alex has told me that the pictures on his site are the only ones he has. Do you have contact info for his other sons? Any info If Consentino has lchildren?

    Thanks, I'll have a look at the story. I believe you are correct, one Bertram and one Magnum. I think the "Tornado Team" was disbanded in late 1970, but don't know for sure.

    Yes, this is the Point Pleasant race in which Balistieri finished 4th. Any info on the 1970 Miami-Nassau entrants. I know White Tornado Is not mentioned as a finisher, but an article from Graham's website mentioned a "pair" of boats entered by Balistrieri....

    No HIN's. In addition to the pics I just posted, I have loads of pictures of the deck, hardware etc. the biggest problem I'm having is finding a boat that was originally white gelcoat. Sam James says he only recalls one boat being white and that was White Tornado...although there have been...

    Any help in identifying the boat will be greatly appreciated. I am thinking it might be the Consentino 'White Tornado'. The boat has been in Florida since at least 1987. Most likely the Miami area. We see no evidence of shafts having ever been in the boat so assume it was always an I/O. It...
