There was one red, white and blue, Cougar (boat manufactured in England) previous to those hulls called Dirty Laundry and it had air compression issues in the tunnel to the extent that it didn't carry a load well and ran very "wet"...not a good Poker Run platform. That is the hull this thread is about.

The boat I wwned was the red white and blue cougar. The first Rivited.

Prior to those three big boats (Open and Superboat class), Joe was very successful in the modified class with a 32 Skater (boat built in Michigan) "Dirty Laundry" that I believe was later sold to the Duntemans and became "Agitator".... a VERY competitive boat to be sure.

I watched that 1st Rivited boat put on a rough water racing demo in Ocean City that is unforgetable, Extractor and The Hustler "Priority" as well, It was rough as Balls and these 3 boats Put on shows of rough water speed and talent I'll never forget (and I have been to allot of races)

Are you sure? I don't see the tunnel extension on the warpaint, it appears to have a flat transom. Whereas the Labatt has an extended tunnel.
