Trivia: What was the name of the first 24 raceboat?

What was the name of the first 24 race Superboat, and who drove it? Hint: twin OB's. I know Waterboy knows the answer.

Since nobody responded..I think the boat you are referring to is P-172 "Freddy" owned by Fred Hartman.I know John Coen Sr. also raced a 24 simply called "Superboat"..I am not sure which boat raced first.
One year John finished ahead of most of the most the big Open Class boats!
