    I have the green light on getting a used hovercraft with the high end limit is basically set lol. I have many questions to ask owners of features size etc. Hopefully somebody can chip in, I’ll mostly use it ice fishing on the Mississippi. Thanks for your time

    Did you watch Larry Smith this weekend? He was using his on Green Bay.

    You will likely see a reply from Dave Koonce soon as he has been using them for a while ice fishing. I would bet rough ice causes problems with the skirts on some

    Find a Star Cruiser on the secondary market. (Last new ones were built in 2001). If you can find one expect to pay 8 to 10K.

    Don’t use it after a fresh snow. Try to get a cover for it as road salt and mag chloride eat up anything corrodeable. Think engine parts and wiring. I’ve had mine since 2012.

    Larry has an Airboat not a Hovercraft
