sweet I know that car, seen it at the show a few times. We're over by the old Back40 off Oak Park. Is that Kalor with the Daytona? I've probably talked to you before, I've been in the area most of my days. I used to work for Morgans years back when Timmy was still running top fuel boats.
Yep, Disco Bay Delta is one dangerouse spot for a fast boat, ski boats and water lice with drunk idiots that have checkbooks. We drop in at Pittsburgh and head up the main channel usually and stay in the old delta from Rio Vista to Grand Isle, Bethel, Sherman area. I try and stay away from Orwood, Disco and that whole scene. This time of year we head downriver to the Bay more. We keep our Superhawk and the Regal at Martinez and the wife far prefers the big boats on the bay so the only time the Fountain gets out there is when i go out with the boys.

I don't know if you had heard about this Delta accident or not but this past summer I had my warlock out there and as we where heading to ski beach I ran out of gas. I know, dumb ass move on my part! Anyway, I had a buddy with me that had a friend that lived close by that was willing to bring us some gas. We waited for about an hour before my buddies friend and his daughter showed up to bail us out. We got the boat fired back up and went on our way. I found out later that day that after they helped us out, that the daughter was struck by a wake boarder jumping a wake while she was driving the boat. Apparently,the boats where coming in different directions and the wake boarder didn't see the jet boat coming, cut across his wake and landed on the jet boat she was driving hitting her in the head then ending up wrapped around the motor (tunnel ram motor to make it that much worse). I don't know how close the boats where to each other but do know that some of the channels out there are pretty narrow. Personally, I feel that someone in the wake board boat should have been using "hand-gestures" to warn the wake boarder of on coming boats. In the end I don't think they found either party at fault and it was looked at as an unfortunate circumstance but goes to show you how crazy it is out there. Both the people involved where seriously hurt in the accident and had to be life-flighted out. Fortunately, neither person was killed and they have both recovered from their injuries from what I have been told. I actually saw the daughter a couple weeks after the accident at her dads house and other than the neck brace she was wearing and some bruises she was doing really well.
I completely understand way you launch out of pitt. I go there often to put in and test. my roommate is also into the boating scene. He has a 34' scarab.

Sounds good, I'll have to see what you have. That could really help me out. I got the quote back from stainless marine today for them to fab up the tips and nearly had a heart attack! If I have to go that route though I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet and fork out the cash!

cmi tips
Had a pair of angle tips with the non burn flappers.... they lasted 6 months before they burned out and actually blew out the tips at some point!! Lolbut didn't like the noise the internal flappers made fluttering in there....
