> [@SnowboardinWNY](#): > > That is fucking sweet, and your dad looked like he was having a blast!! Wait til it gets out in the open. He’s had a shit eatin’ grin ever since I told him about this one and that I wanted to get it. He’s loving it and spending his free time working on it. Soooooon. Researching options for repairing the ABS plastic hull at the moment. Wiring has been redone. Front cowl and guages are being rebuilt. Spare holes are being fiberglass filled. ---

Looks like we will possibly have it out Saturday. Dropped it back to the ground today. Installed new skirt, new runners on hull, epoxy repaired abs hull, rewired entire craft, upgraded lights, upgraded guages, upgraded fan, filled excess holes,rebuilt trailer, etc Hooked up the electrical tonight and everything worked. All that is left is to fill up with gas, register it, and go 🙂 ---

Took it out last weekend for a shakedown after rebuilding and upgrading the whole thing. Didn’t push it too much and also didn’t try water yet. Did get “pulled over” by a cop for using it on what we thought was city property. No, we did NOT get a ticket. Plus he didn’t even know what the hell it was. And I learned how NOT to exit a moving hovercraft 🙂 And the water test was successful But the regulator fried on us. Less than $40 fix ---
