Trevor, I cannot do anything on this end to resolve the conflict. But I AM close enough to offer any and all that you might possibly need to to keep you running and in the water until this issue is resolved. Motors, pumps, hoses, regulators,....you name it. I'll loan you just about anything dealing with dredging up to / and including a fully functioning dredge. There is probably a complete 5" and 6" still stored in the barn. All within 150 miles of you. Just holler and I'll deliver.
If ya want, I'll even show ya where to dredge and get some local color.
