...the craft is capable of traveling not over land and water, but can soar over rough terrain of up to 10 feet in the air.

It can't travel over land or water?

Only $27,000? It seems to me that stuff like this typically sells for far more.

OH COOL!!! I'll put this in my garage next to my joystick-controlled party boat thing! Is there any video of it in action?

He means not only over land and water.


Why would he spend 10 years building it just to sell it?

Sounds more like a ground effect vehicle than a hovercraft

im from NZ, and there is only going to be one of these, the craft is actually poorly constructed, the fabric covering flaps on the top of the wing!

Sounds like a scam to me. This could easily have been Photoshoped.

Under the "hood," the hovercraft packs a 1.8 liter Subaru engine which has the potential to crank out a maximum of 140 MPH.

Hm.... that's an unusual way to measure an engine. Do you mean 140HP?

Hovercrafts are just for fun. If you want hardcore aplications, you should see the ekranoplan.

In other news, a New Zealand man dies in a flying car crash today. Tragic.
