Yep, there was a Baja 240 for a few years in the mid/late 90's with a built in platform. Sit down boat, low profile and small cockpit with around a 20* deadrise. Not sure if it was a renamed 226es.

+75mph w/ a carbed 454 mag is a fast hull!

Re: 1994 Baja Bandit Question
In the mid 90's they renamed the 226 the 240 (length including platform) it makes it confusing, the true 240(square back) is the 24degree bottom.
My brother has a 91 Bandit w/502 Mag carb, it runs 80 on the speedo.

I had the almost the exact same boat(color and power) and it was not a 75mph boat. Fastest I had it was up around 67mph(speedo) and on water with very little chop.
Did run full out next to a guy with a gps speedo. He clocked at 66mph and I still had some more trim for speed, but not 9mph worth.
