How does it run? Do you know if there are any issue's with these. Just wondering why they discontinued. How much are you selling it for?

Discontinued just because we wanted to focus on other gear that was more interesting to us. Typically we revamped the skimmer line every other year and when the pegleg's number came up we just let it go to focus on other things like spyglass, mutiny 2, and....

Really wish you didn't discontinue your skimmers. I love my Pegleg 180 and would like to see an improved model. :)

It is not necessarily forever but nothing in immediate future.
