Re: skimmer

I had one, sold it about two months ago when I took down the predator and moved to the 180. To be honest, it did the trick but was very finicky, and would not restart on its own, always needed to be bumped. Skimmate was ok, but never ugly as my remora pro. I hear they make an 800HOB model now in the octo line.
