The thrash to have the Ally ready for GH officially begins now.
Have a garage full of new and recycled parts that when assembled should resemble a race ready boat.
To be continued...

Productive weekend despite the rain
Have a single ram bracket installed with my 20" mid, bit of a challenge getting those two to work together.
Power head is on with related wiring and linkages
Trim lines and pump are installed but not co-operating, lots of air in the system and the pump is operating intermittently, working on it.
Still a lot or other things to do... fuel system, steering and final wiring of the trim solenoids
Be burning the midnight oil this week
Still hopeful that I'll make it

Small set back, need a new trim pump
Going to The Gun to get one.
This slows progress by a day and I'm running low on energy.

Get the Red Bull out Tom and just giv'er!!!!
We need to see that red machine shred some water this weekend.
If it's close, drag it up and i'm sure the boys will get to work on it to get it race ready.
We should be there early Saturday to lend a hand if needed.
