When you compare our 14’ craft to other hovercraft in the same size range you’ll notice that we’re only using 26hp to get the payloads that it’s taking the others 52hp and up! We invite you to take a look at their websites and compare ours with theirs. The Hovertour 700 is manufactured by Hovertechnics Inc in Michigan and the Neoteric Hovertrek is manufactured by Neoteric Hovercraft Inc in Indiana.
* Fuel use can be calculated based on horsepower. For two-stroke engines 0.65-.7 lbs per horsepower per hour is good. Four-stroke engines are about 0.55-0.5 lbs per horsepower per hour, and less if fuel injected.
1 The price listed for the Hovertrek is their Deluxe Side by Side fully assembled craft.
2. The website that listed a price is no longer available. So, the current price is unknown.
