looking for Dexter Coffin?

[Vintage Offshore Foundation]

I'm looking for a racer Dexter Coffin from back in the early 70's maybe just raced in 1970? in the Miami area has anybody heard of him?

The owned one of Don Aronow Magnum's after 1967/68 and only raced it once?

If he was the Dexter Coffin from Palm Beach
He was put in jail in the 80's and 90's for stealing scripts for codeine and boat embezzlement at the Brazilian docks in Palm Beach!

Scott,
I’m really not to sure where this person may have been from? But the boat was sold from Saint Cloud and the name is unique enough to be the same person you’re referring too. My understanding is he raced the boat I’m restoring for one race in 68 and then as the story goes, the boat stuffed and one of his eye’s popped out? Has anyone ever heard this story?

Thanks for post Scott.

I got my info from a friend who knew him, I will ask him if he knows anything about it
