At least they wanted nothing to do with checking the jet for clearances and if it needed to be rebuilt when I asked.
I mistook what Westernaero is making anyway. Pickups are a little tougher to find. I was thinking thru hull dumps. Thru hull pickups and cav plate pickups aren't used on everything. But even I/Os and roll bar boats use dumps, and SS isn't hard to find.
