 Do you want a “lift”? Universal Hovercraft has a number of kits available including one-seaters, two-seaters and four-seaters. Their hovercraft kits have been specifically designed for easy assembly by the average do-it-yourselfer and include all the hard-to-find part to complete the entire craft. Assembly and demonstration videos are available to provide you with additional expert information.
“Hovercrafts ride much smoother than a boat because they move over the water, not through it. It travels over water with no concern for depth or hidden obstacles. It will go against the current of a river with no speed reduction. The hovercraft also works well in rapids, or white water for recreation, and rescue operations have been performed.”
Universal Hovercraft has been in business for over 32 years and is located in
McHenry, Illinois.
