That's gotta be a waaayyy better use for those (expletive deleted) noisy LOUD useless leaf blowers!

Keep in mind that the skirt needs to be long enough give enough float height and conform to the contours of the ground. Loose too much air and you're stuck.

Looking at the racing videos on youtube, driving one looks like a lot more fun than pulling one, though.

With all the air being pumped through, you'd expect a lot of spray around the skirt when you're crossing water or mud. But on the video's I've seen it doesn't seem too bad.

That's the one!

I remember friends m my childhood seeing some actual hovercraft (personal) on the Alabama coast. So there are/were some 2 seater hovercraft around at that time. I would also look for commercial ones rather than just DYI
