He said it was not his trailer, that he did a side deal for one not through Skater.

Hey guys, The spaces in the back are where the engines would go but I believe they would be bigger if it actually had I/Os.

Well no glory today, Had to do a couple things that weren't right before they could run any high end speeds. I received a few more pics today tho. A nice one outside in natural light. Tomorrow sometime testing will resume. [ATTACH=CONFIG]545178[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]545179[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]545180[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]545181[/ATTACH]

It's awesome to see it finally getting wet! You're so fortunate to have Mercury dialing it in for you - can't hardly even put a price on that......
