    Hey!
    I posted this on a local forum.
    They think its a Precision marine downdraft skimmer...
    But I can't find it anywhere.

    Would love to know more about it. How to use it. Pumps needed. And what it's rated for.

    Got it on Craigslist for 50 :)

    It does somewhat resemble a precision marine bullet 1 skimmer.

    The black box is 9 1/2 inches by 9 1/2

    The bottem cylinder is 19 inches wrapped around and 9 inches tall

    All together the whole skimmer is 25 3/4 inches tall

    I thought 'PM' as well. What a score for $50!

    Thanks for all the replys!

    I couldnt believe it was 50 on Craigslist.

    So a pump rated for +1000 gph?
