Actually they are CMI.

As usual, nothing was standard on that boat. Boat is sitting in the shop with two fresh short blocks on the stand and a fresh set of heads sitting in plastic bags.

Cool. I remember reading about the boat in a magazine years ago.
Do any of you remember the 24' Baja they had back in the early 90's? It had a 1000+hp blower motor in it. They ran the Shootout a few times then the boat disappeared, presumably for something better.

A friend of a friend who worked at Big Thunder told me about it. He swears it was a Baja 226es. Yellow I think.

They are CMIs.They told us that when we had Byrdmans headers done that we ordered the biggest ever made.Sorcerer had the biggest made previously.
