It looks like there’s a deflector in the main prop housing, is that where it gets the air for the base skirt? ---

Not a bad price. You’d just need a trailer. Make sure the hull isn’t too bad since people like to hit rocks with them. They aren’t bad to repair (so I’m told) ---------- Post added 07-27-2010 at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was 07-26-2010 at 11:47 PM ---------- Quick video from today.

> [@Willybeen](#): > > does it float if not pushing air downward? It diverts air down and back. So at all times it is pushing air below to lift.
