Hovercraft

[oceanblue123]

Hello

Just wondering about getting a hovercraft, for about the same price as a used powerboat I can get a new hovercraft and just wondering what people think.

Would most marinas be fine with me berthing a hovercraft there? I assume there would be no issue?

My concern is the company I am looking at makes them in lengths up to 10m for their largest size and I would be looking at a 7-8m hovercraft.

I am thinking that it is less length than the 30-40ft typically considered to be the minimum size needed.

They seem good to me as they float no matter what and have little resistance over a surface but I am not sure if they could take oceangoing.

I would need to coat the engine is marine paint, can I use marine paint on a regular hovercraft engine?

Thanks
