Description
Condition: Used  


There is no self respecting man that would admit that they haven't secretly wanted a HOVERCRAFT. Yes... IT FLOATS!!!! I purchased it a few years back and enjoyed it in NY and Vermont. Now, its time to sell as we are relocating to Florida and need to swap out the Hovercraft for a Fan Boat for the everglades.    Craft is located in Peacham, VT   05862I have priced the hovercraft fairly for the condition it is in and it is a LOW RESERVE.  CASH, CERTIFIED CHECK, or PAYPAL It has two engines. The thrust engine is a Rotax 500 out of a Formula 500 Ski Doo snowmobile. It is pull start with great power and the lift motor is electric start and easy to use. The craft comes with a custom tilting trailer. Craft has a weight capacity of about 450-500 lbs. CONDITION... FULL DISCLOSURE: Engines: The craft was put away after last summer and has not been run since. Like each year after the winter, it could really use a carb cleaning and carb tuneup before starting up as the gas these days take their toll on carbs when it sits unused for a period of time. My local toy store went out of business recently and they are the ones who did the carb cleaning for me yearly. Pops: Thrust prop, no problems and comes with a spare 48" prop. Thrust prop "shroud" is a little scratched up on top (as seen in the picture) and is fully functional, just got scraped by garage door while going into garage. Lift Prop, spins fine but shroud around it is slightly bowed but does not effect performance. Shroud on one side is just a little "bubbled" and could use a little fiberglass TLC, but is not necessary. Lift Skirt: Holds air fine but like pretty much all hovercraft skirts, it has a few small holes and could use some patches which I have and patch cement. Patching will only improve performance. Let me know if you have any questions and I will see if I can answer them for you. Feel free to reply to this add.
